So I went to a going away party for one of my husbands co-workers (US Air Force) and I went outside on the back patio with all the "smokers" to vape. I didn't want to be rude and even ask to vape inside as many people don't understand it and I didn't feel like a full on debate. So I'm outside and everything's going nice, chit chatting with other AF spouses and the one lady decides to "inform" me that e-cigs are worse than tobacco cigarettes, and she claimed to be well educated about e-cigs and so on. So I asked," Well why are they bad or worse?" She replied that there hasn't been enough testing and research to know exactly what's in them and how it would affect the human body. Well I told her that I am DIY on my own e-liquids so I know what's exactly in mine. She asked," What's in it?" I responded," Propylene glycol, Vegetable glycerin, sucralose, distilled water, flavoring, nicotine." She then made the most intelligent comment about e-cigs I've ever heard! Her response was," Glycerin! That's an ingredient in soap! So you are smoking soap?" I then responded with the best response I think I'd ever come up with on the fly! I then said," Do you drink water? (She says yes) Well water is a component in urine, so you drink urine??" She tried to argue that the analogy was not the same by comparison but yes I'm sorry it is......I'll smoke my soap, but you drink piss.

Thought I'd share my funny story with ya'll people around us there at the party thought it was a riot. :vapor:

I understand exactly how you feel!!! Peopke make acusations based on the media bashing e cigs but they neglect to do any reasearch on them. Apparantly in there eyes smoking analogs are better for u. Im happy to see that you stood up for vaping. I too do it on a regular basis. Although it may becone annoying people just dont understand and are ill informed.
