So I was at my brother in laws place recently outside enjoying my Volt while he smoked an analog. His wife comes out to smoke and we start talking about e-cigs. She basically thinks that using a e-cig isn't really "quitting" smoking. She says we all gotta get off these things altogether. I say "why, this isnt hurting me at all"? She replies "you dont even know what your smoking!" I say "I can name all 4 ingredients in my "smoke", can you do the same?" She walked away (swear I saw steam coming our of her ears).

BAM! In yer face!:evil:

My brother's wife...

She is Polish and her accent is fairly thick and she quit cold turkey many years ago and hates smoking. Her and my brother were staying at my mother's next door during Thanksgiving, I was over there and get the...

her - "what are you smoking?"
me - "I'm not smoking, I am using a personal vaporizer."
her - "Like the e-cigarette?" (I had the KR808 last year, using a bottom feeder box mod now)
me - "Yes, it has PG, VG, Nic, and flavorings."
her - "You know that's bad for you."
me - "No it isn't."
her - "it can't be good for you."
me - "cigarettes have 4000 chemicals, many of them carcinogens, my PV has maybe 4 or 5, none are carcinogen, why is is not "good" for me."
her - "it looks like you are smoking, this is not good for you"
me - "Hollywood looks like they kill people, but they don't"
her - "no, you are breathing this, it is not good."
me - "it is used in breathing treatments, so the hospital is killing people?"
her - "no, they use something else."
me - "whatever, it is used on stage, in haunted houses, and has been studied extensively, you don't know what you are talking about."
her - "I have been to a mental hospital (LVN school) and everyone that smokes gets a nicotine patch, it makes them more crazy and have bad dreams."
me - "yep, that is why I prefer to regulate my dosage using my PV instead of just getting all nic all the time with the patch."
her - "it can't be good for you."
me - "not much worse than coffee and tea, but think what you want."
her - "you should stop."
me - "don't should on me."

Argh, I used to think it was cultural differences, but now I just think she's a... Whatever, she can should on me all she wants, but she can't change me. I'm a vaper. :2cool:

Love it! I think this mindset is what a lot of politicians have supporting the FDA going nanny state on e-ciggs. I think its time I make a rough draft letter to send to as many politicians as possible in an attempt to shed some light on the ignorance before its too late...

Hey frosting, could you send that letter to my sister in law also?? lol

This really gets to me. I posted how many days I had smoke free on facebook and one of my "friends" posted "yeah but you didnt really quit"....eh hem "um yes I did", I listed my 3 ingredients and pointed out that I gave up 4000 HARMFUL ingredients that she is still inhaling. She posted back with a "LOL". If I was on the patch to get my nicotine she would not have said a thing...grrr

I guess some people are just stuck on stupid...no offense :evil:
