positive/negative response to vaping.

[stefania123]

In the last month or so of vaping, I dont think I have had one negative response. My family and friends are happy (my Dad even asked me to get him a set up so I did), have got a few people who work in the same building as me interested, and even yesterday while vaping at a bar 2 of the people who work there and a friend of a friend asked me where the B&M was where I got my set up so they could go there this weekend. (I also gave them this website for help).

All in all, it's been a positive response.

Oh.. and im feeling pretty positive about switching to vaping too

How about you all, has the response you have received to your vaping been mostly positive or negative?

So far I have gotten only positive verbal responses. I asked if it was OK at a fancy movie theater here in Dallas and they said sure. I do sometimes get some weird looks but not many. Most have said "It's got to be better than tobacco". On even said they loved the smell which I believe was Mocha.

Positive for the most part..... although when I complain about my wife's cooking she tells me my sense of taste is thrown off because of that vapor cr*p.

 

[Baditude]

Nearly all positive responses.

A couple of co-workers were at first complimentary of my acheivements in quitting, but then they asked when are you going to quit vaping? I'm like, "ummm, that was never in the plan." But you're still using nicotine, right? "Yeah, what's wrong with that? It's a stimulent just like caffeine. I'm probably consuming less nicotine than you are caffeine in a day's time." That shuts them up.

I did get that from one of my co-workers this week. 'So when are you going to quit vaping?' I was like, cut me some slack- i just quit smoking! Geez. Told him i may or may not quit vaping, but it is 100 percent less harmful than smoking.

My family is against my vaping. They didn't even know until a few weeks ago that I've been smoking since my mid teenage years. My mom found my syringe that I use for refilling my carts, and then I told her about my smoking and vaping history. She's a nurse, so she is pretty much against any inhaling of any kind unless it is for medical reasons. I know that vaping is 100 times healthier than smoking, but since ecigs are so new, we don't have decades of research to back it up (yet).

All positive . . .No detractors, yet.

I vape at work and so far 4 smoking co-workers have become interested enough to try it out. I've lent out some of my gear and even bought two of them this little tester kit. Those who don't smoke say they enjoy the smell. I was vaping my favorite the other day, CinnABun and one guy turns around with a big smile and said it smells like a cafe in here

No negative reactions so far at all.

My parents are happy I've quit as well as the people at work who knew I smoked and switched to vaping. My parents gave me the "When are you going to quit using that thingy" crap as well.

Nice to see it sounds like things are getting better for ya! Read your post a little while back about struggling with the smokes still, time just has to do it's thing.

Thanks Yeah.. other than that one night where I slipped up and a few other days being really trying.. I am definitely happy with the switch and it does get easier with time Was around smokers yesterday, and I didnt even want one.

I get a mixed reaction. The smokers I know giggle at it, my Dad and Grandma, both non smokers, love it, my Mom, a smoker, is skeptical. I have heard a few people tell me "but you're still smoking!" Do they smell smoke? No. Well then.

 

[StevesCVO]

I've had nothing but poitive responses. Everyone I know is glad I'm not smoking any more plus most think it smells good. I can go for 3-4 hrs without vaping and it doesn't bother me. I could never do that with smoking. Maybe an hr if I was lucky.

Reactions have largely been positive for me. None of my smoker friends have made the switch and some of them joke about it, but we make fun of each other all of the time, so that's whatever. I'm honestly worse on them than they are on me. My parents are happy about it. They're ex-smokers of over 30 years, but see e-cigs as the future and just find them fascinating.

Most smokers just ask me how long I've been vaping, if it is really working for me, and how I'm feeling since making the switch.

I've had a couple of smokers tell me that I haven't really quit. I just tell them to put out that cigarette right here and now and stomp their pack. Should be easy for them, right? I mean, since they clearly know so much about willpower and all... ^_^ With the jokers who insist upon it being the real thing or nothing, a fun thing that I like to do is challenge them to races and breath holding contests. I like to run in place when we do the latter.

I think people are far more receptive now than when I started 4 years ago. Advertising and the appearance of disposable ecigs in convenience stores and gas stations have familiarized people with the product, even if they may not vape themselves.

 

[evgeny131]

ok...everyone i talk to thinks its better- but see it for what it is- a smoking substitute....now lets be realistic, your average person sees you with you double coil atty on the street billowing plumes of VAPOR, he/she says, "oh that person is smoking" thats why they banned it campus wide at UCLA along with cigarettes,
personally, I never cared for what people thought, but i also have a hard time convincing myself im not "smoking" vg/pg water flav. nic vapor....
????????????????????????????????

So far, my kids and husband have been supportive.

My grandmother and my mom-in-law keep asking when I'm going to quit vaping. My grandmother says I haven't really quit as long as I've got "that pacifier of yours".

Out in public, it's mainly been positive. I haven't had anyone give me a hard time.

I have gotten nothing but positive responses except from one person. First, he complained he was allergic to the vaper. Then he complained about the hissing noise from my tank even though I am at least 30 feet away. I am hoping his complaints don't nix my ability to vape at my desk at work. My bosd and HR department have been very supportive.

 

[lissa5168]

Allergic to the vapor??? That's hilarious! I wouldn't stand too close to him then if he's allergic to a steamy shower lol.

It is very possible to be allergic to the contents included in any given recipe of eJuice.

Other than that my family and friends have all been very supportive. Nice!

Overall, I've had positive responses, especially from family. The only negative response I've received is from an ex-smoker who "quit cold turkey". Doesn't bother me though, I kind of figure when someone feels they need to lecture someone else, they must be feeling pretty small inside. I figure that I've helped a lot more people who needed to quit analogs by sharing vaping with them than him going around lecturing others.
