People who talk the stupid stuff have no skin in the game. They're just making conversation. Next time it happens take a puff then grab your chest and start staggering around the room.
Funnily enough, nobody has ever bothered me with any stupidity about vaping. However, my mother did call me with concerns after seeing stuff on the news. I did the best I could to explain. Not sure it stuck, but she said I can make my own decisions about my health, that it's none of her business what I do, but she's just concerned. That's about the best I could hope for.
A friend lit up a cigarette. I pulled out my vape. "I wouldn't touch the stuff," he says, exhaling a puff of smoke. "No telling what's in that stuff, no telling what it will do to you."
I had fun with him for the next 15 minutes. He went through 3 cigarettes during my lecture.

That is perfect!
I said this before, but similar story worth repeating. I broke down and had a cig one morning. Next door neighbor came by and said "oh no, you better not vape anymore (she knows I usually vape) people are dying from vape" Then I made a bad joke "it's enough to drive someone to smoking" She didn't get it
My mother said "do you know how much time you spend vaping, talking about vaping, and on the internet vaping forum? It's become an obsession!" I said "do you know much time you spend watching MSNBC? It's become an obsession!" I did also mention it's a hobby and I admit I've become a bit obsessed, sort of like cooking. Actually, she does understand that the media is spewing out anti-vape BS and tried to tell her friend, but it fell on deaf ears. At first, she was so proud of me for quitting the cigs, but when I talk too much about vaping she told me "at least when you smoked there wasn't a lot to talk about... you just lit one up and didn't have to change coils and play with your juice all the time" We have an interesting relationship (she is 80 years old)
There's this outlandish pedant who hangs out in the lobby listening to conversations. When he overhears the subject of salt nic being discussed he grabs you by the shirt collar and explains that salt nic is poorly understood and that it's properly known as protonated nicotine. He's convinced that it's extremely addictive and easy to OD on, and that it was invented by Juul to hook youths. If you try to argue with him he enumerates your sentences and delivers a mini-lecture debunking each one. If you object he demands peer-reviewed evidence. He claims the moral high ground for being brave enough to draw attention to the conspiracy but explains that he secretly hopes he's mistaken. Even after you manage to wriggle free and escape he keeps on talking to an empty room.
My mom read it will give me throat cancer in one of her magazines and the news is telling her it will kill me. Unfortunately she will just have to worry over it since she's not at all interested in learning the truth.
I was actually told one time by a friend who still smokes cigarettes: You know, that 1 juul pod has the same amount of nicotine as a pack of cigarettes!
And yes, they were saying it like I was going to smoke the whole juul pod in 5 minutes.

My darling mother, who only wants me to be happy, healthy, and safe, “STOP VAPING!”
Me, after many conversations for years explaining why I vape: “Mama, I am going to vape until I physically cannot. So you just have to stop saying that.”
Mama: “okay.”

“Vaping will mess up your lungs, that’s why I’d rather stick to smoking” k

The magazines and news tells everyone that the entire East Coast will be under water in 11 years also. I guess that’s why the Obama’s bought a 14 million dollar house at Martha’s Vineyard[emoji1787]
