Nice neighbor or creepy dude from down the street > Advice requested, please

[K_Tech]

Hey guys.

So here's the story, and the questions.

I've known the neighbor's kid for a while, and last year met his girlfriend (they both work at the animal shelter from which I adopted my last dog).

It's not like we're friends, but we chat every once in a while, and often when I'm out walking the dogs and he's outside smoking he'll come over to say hi to me and the animals.

Both he and his girlfriend smoke, and it really hit me last night when they pulled up into his driveway and I could smell it on her car from at least 50 feet away. They're both young (early to mid 20's) and it just bugs me for some reason.

What I'd like to do is offer to buy him and his girlfriend some sort of starter kit if they'd be willing to give vaping a try rather than smoking. We haven't even discussed vaping because I haven't vaped while walking the dogs (It's too hard for me to try and manage the dogs and a PV at the same time, lol).

So, yeah or nay? Weird? Odd? Would you do it if you could? How would you approach the situation?

Your input is appreciated.

Educate them if opportunity arises.

I think if you chit chat and maybe mention vaping and how it can help their health. Then see how it goes from there. Never hurts to mention it and get more people off the nasty stuff.

Give me your best R0AR...

I also think it is very generous of you to offer to buy them some vaping kits

you betcha !
I'd make mention of vaping and see the reaction and what their thoughts are...
heck, they're neighbors, why not

get them an EVOD kit to share making it a nice set up so they can get another one
once they get the bug, and have two GREAT starter kits

atta-boy for a good idea

Vape≈like your cool neighbor got you started...

Bring your vape gear with you when you dog walk. When he comes over to chat, stop and vape. Let his curiosity carry the conversation.

By your OP, it doesn't sound like you're trying to oversell vaping, ie trying to guilt them -- very good.

Good luck.

(It is difficult to simultaneously dog walk and vape so plan ahead for a stop and chat vape.)

I'll try to work something into a conversation when I can, at the risk of sounding weird, I just feel bad seeing a nice couple like that smoking at such a young age.
