Everytime this one guy at work sees me vaping, he asks, YOU STILL USING THAT THING? And another one i find annoying is, WHY DONT YOU JUST QUIT COLD TURKEY LIKE I DID? How irritating. Anyway just venting. lol

"Cold Turkey belongs between two slices of bread, with lettuce and mayo. Just because YOU decided to go through that hell doesn't mean I'm that stupid." That's my stock reply.

The "when are you going to quit that thing" guy... just start .....ing back at him about his addiction to caffeine or cheeseburgers or whatever. Don't let those .......s take and keep the 'moral high ground'. Everyone, EVERYONE, has some kind of vice, unless they're saints or nuns or something. Don't let them slap you without slapping them right back, and do NOT let these jack-wagons discourage you!!

The guy that asks, you still using that thing? Is a smoker also. I find the worst critics are the people who quit smoking cold turkey, and smokers who dont want to or cant quit smoking and too stubborn to try something new, like vaping. Oh well, so be it.lol

Just bounce back with, "Are you still paying asinine taxes for the 'priviledge' of killing yourself?"

Oh, he works with you too? :laugh:

If he says it one more time to me, I already have my rant ready for him. "I'm very glad that you are proud that you quit cold turkey and boast about it being easy, however what you say goes against all recorded evidence of quitting any addiction, so I will continue to get away from the harm of cigarettes in my own way. Thanks."

I usually just respond with something like. I am still a smoker. I don't want to quit. I enjoy smoking, it's relaxing. Some people enjoy drinking good coffee or like fine wines or other such drinks. I'm just a smoker who switched his brand of smokes to one that doesn't have carcinogens, extra chemicals, or tar, doesn't mess with my breathing, identifies the level of nicotine I'm ingesting, and tastes way better than my old brand. After that they don't have much to say. :)

I tell them Nunya business. I find the elderly understand the benefits if pvs more than young people. I think I have converted some seniors just telling them about it. Seniors give me info on them as well. My grandma who caught hell quitting her pall mall non filters but finally quit never heard of them,but she was happy that I left tobacco alone. It was like she knew it was good almost instantly. I didn't even tell her it was vapor and she knew LOL.
