Hi all,
Feel free to nit pick my spelling and be sure to ream me for it! J/K
Since I quit smoking and started vaping over 4 months ago I have come across smokers and I try to tell them what I am doing to quit. I am getting a bad reaction from them in the way I go about it. I was like a V4L salesman in explaining it to them and I am not getting any smokers to quit like that. I moved to the tactic of gently explaining it and not getting all excited about it like I used to.
Its like their getting offended by me quitting. I understand 100 percent why. They do not want to quit so they will find any excuse to continue.
I almost (almost) feel bad for vaping in front of them. I had one person say if I was going to quit I would do it cold turkey. Or I can quit any time.
I am not forcing them to do anything but they are giving me a weird reaction. I am to the point of not wanting to show them what I am doing to quit. I feel like I am the bad one for quitting from their reaction.
Last person I ran into asked me is that an E ciq? I said ya ..I have used it to quit for 4 months now ..then went on to say the little story about how you have to find the right one and the gas station ones are gimmicks. So I do not get a bad reaction I say ya now I am addicted to this ..to make it not so awkward. I say it has nicotine in it blah blah. I also said it works for some and not others (even though I am thinking how can it not work!)
So I used to be all gung ho about telling them but smokers are getting all defensive about it and making ME look like the bad one .go figure ..damn them smokers!
On the good side some have been real interested (mostly family) and ask questions about it and want to try it .
I guess youre either really into vaping or totally against it and want to kill yourself with smokes from what I can see so far.
As I type this I wonder what I would have thought or done when I was a smoker and did not want to quit while someone showed me the PV ../ponder
I am still waiting for the day someone thinks I am smoking and does the hand waving in front of the face and/or coughing act. hey you cant smoke here
So anyways thats my story whats yours? .any reactions good or bad from smokers or non smokers?
Ches
