I was at a home of a "friend" of the wifes and went outside to vape a bit, the "friend" came outside and saw me vaping and decided to get on my case about how bad it was for me. I tried to explain how much safer and cleaner vaping was compared to smoking and she wouldnt hear it. Being I had also excused myself to go outside due to "natural digestion processes" and to vape, I had a supply of methane building up.

The "friend" was beginning to irratate me with her bantering, so I turned to her and asked her if she would prefer a more natural aspect. She perked up and said anything natural would be better for me than vaping "that poison". I leaned over a bit and let "natural" proceed...
she left immediatley ranting about how disgusting that was... well she did say natural was better... wish she would make up her mind...

dont think Ill be going back to my wifes friends house....

I wouldn't be able to pass up a chance to hear what was so "bad" for me in vaping. I'd have to hear what she was thinking about. I'll agree that anything beside plain old air isn't as good for you as air, but vaping got me off cigarettes and the FDA and the CDC have had at least 5 years to discover anything bad in ecig vapor. All that they could find was that there were trace level carcinogens present that were incidentally the same as Nicorette gum or a Nicorette inhaler. In both cases, those trace levels were the result of nicotine extraction from tobacco and are of little concern to anyone who is trading in tobacco for ecigs, IMO.

Any friend who jumps on your ecig use needs to have access to accurate information.

The FDA study is here.

And, the Drexel school of medicine study of 5000 vapers is here.

Both are worth a few minutes of reading time or at least a close scan to pick up the most important findings in the study.
