Look at what we have all become. We should be ashamed of ourselves for turning against one another. I can remember back in the day when someone would post a few pics of a mod that had a superhero painted on it. Or a device that was made out of a pez despenser, and everyone here would comment on how cool it looked.
I can also remember when some of us would go out in public and vape in a store or a bar or some other public place and someone would make a comment and say "You can't smoke in here". and we would explain to them that we are just vaping and not smoking. Then show them out device and most people would end up liking it and say something like "Well that's better than smoking".
Then the news media gets wind of these cool little devices and starts spewing reports on how it's made out of antifreeze and how it's poison. Most recently they reports have been about how it will make every last child in the country become addicted to vaping and alcohol. and even worse it is a gateway to smoking cigarettes.
Once that happened the public started changing their view on vaping, and began to look at it in a more negative light. Once that happened you could see all the good folks that were vaping begin to make rules and govern themselves on the good way and the bad way to vape. Some of us are little extreme with our over politeness with vaping and some of us are a little rude and combative with out vaping habbits. Now we just sit here and ..... at each other about who is right and who is wrong.
I call
B.S. on all of it. What we really need to do is take a reporter out on the street and shove his head right in front of a cars exhaust pipe and let him or her inhale on that for a while. Once they are choking and gagging on the exhaust fumes, we can bring them up, sit them down and even buy them a beer. Then pull out our vapes and say. Do you prefer the exhaust fumes, or the vape? We all know that is the real culprit. The stinking news media.
But we sit here and throw stones at each other when the reality of it is that we are all on the same boat. So the need for arguing about something that we all like is a bit ridiculous. Don' you think. Probably the best thing we can do is support each other and sites like ECF and even join CASAA.
OK, so maybe I was a bit on the violent side when i was talking about the news reporters. But they just kind of get on my nerves when they report about our children becoming addicted to cigarettes because of vaping. Especially when I see that look of righteousness in their smug faces as the preach to us all. MAybe we should just smak em across the face instead of forcing them to inhale exhaust fumes.
