Yesterday during my lunch break after getting my slice of pizza which is a block away from my work i walked by a group sitting outside star coffee(TM infringement?) on the corner..well these folks happen to be the same folks that are there everyday. as I'm walking by vaping my kr808d-xl battery with the lighted side held up with black tape(long drunk story) one of them asks me...
guy-"hey you over there"
me-*looks over*
guy-"whats the thing your smoking?"
me-"its an ecig*holds it out* the ones they sell at the store are junk but if you go online its peaches man i quit smoking because of it"
the guy laughs and says "no your still smoking"...which i was ready to inform but his friend was quicker to tell him all about it...its water vapor, no carcinogens...etc...upon the crosswalk turning to walk i took my exit but cant help but hear some basically ignorant comments about "looking cool" and "whats the point"
now is it me or is it that analog smokers are the worst when it comes to public reactions? Ive had many interactions like this and it seems the nonsmokers know more about it and generally like it more than smokers Ive come upon. whom many have similar rude things to say...i personally think its that whole "ain't nothing like the real thing" mentality. no its not...its BETTER.
