Since you vape, would you lounge around with smokers?

[kbf101998]

I have always said that I met the 'fun people' people at the ashtrays--and many of them are still my friends, so yes I hang out with them. I don't mind the smell of the smoke when I am with them--but I have found that the 'stale' smell of smoke does bother me a bit.

I always allowed my friends to smoke in my house, because I smoked in the house, and that has been the only change--we hang outside at my house now- if they are smoking. One of the reasons that I started vaping was that I could not stand to walk in to my own house because of the smell--that smell is gone now and I want to keep it that way.

I love smoke-filled bars. They smell like freedom from nannying parasites and control freakery masquerading as "public concern".

When I smoked I didnt like being in a cloudy room so its no different. If its just me and a couple smoker friends Im not going to leave the room or act all grossed out. Im suppose to go outside to vape at work(dont all the timd) and I still enjoy it because its a couple minutes to forget about work and shoot the breeze with coworkers.

Im not going to be 1 of the ex smokers that acts like Im better then smokers because I substitute my nic addiction in what we believe(ATM)is a better alternative. Some people here just erk me with their vape snobness, those people are the reason we are generalized and judged.

I regularly go to the same places and hang out with the same circle of friends, at least half of whom smoke, as before I quit smoking/started vaping.

Neither the smoke nor the smell bother me in the least.

Yes of course I would, having been one of them them I am suddenly not "better" than them.
I would view it as the perfect opportunity for advocacy and hey I might even save a life.
