still get stupid remarks at work about vaping, why?

[ad356]

i work for a dairy company and do milk recieving the milk trucks come in, i check paperwork (it's organic), pump the trucks off, and wash them; i have contact with allot of different people as a result. anyways i get all kinds of stupid remarks from both the drivers at my co-workers. i thought by now vaping is so big that everyone should know what it is by now. PV's are everywhere... mostly inferior gas stations but still its there. i have had people tell me that they think im vaping something illegal, that i have a .... lab in the basement after i told them that i DYI.... ect, ect. my shift lead smokes and i wish he would try vaping. it would be great to see him off the cancer sticks. when is vaping going to outpace smoking and people realize that these things are common place....everywhere the way cigarettes once were. i just wanna vape in peace and i reccomend everyone that smokes..... just give it one month of your miserable life try it. then go ahead smoke one cigarette. that gross aftertaste will be enough to get you to not want to smoke ever again..... instant quit.

these things are a modern miracle. all of the money the tobacco industry spent over the years trying to create a safer cigarette, and i safer nicotine inhalation product has come but not from big tobacco but from another group of people that thought there had to be a better way. incredbie

I get people that come into work asking me questions about my PV all the time. Most people think its just a novelty. It gets tiring explaining the ins and outs of vaping, but it's to be expected I guess. I get a lot of people with the '...' look on their faces when I pull out my provari lol. It is what it is.

I think most people that smoke, would start vaping in a heartbeat, if they actually knew what it was about.

Now, trying to convert people from smoking to vaping, isn't somthing I wanna do.

Just tell them it is the future and they are stuck in the past.

Same difference.

When people ask about my ego set up I tell them its an advanced e-cig. When asked about my mod. ("Holy crap, what the hell is that"?) I just tell'em its an e-cig on steriods. If they ask more questions then I'll go on to explain more. E-Cigaretts are pretty well known now, so I don't get a lot of dumb questions if I use the e-cig approach.

I will say this from a chef stand point.... DO NOT VAPE AROUND DAIRY. It may be harmless to third parties from a health standpoint, but it can (I've tested and proven even though I've had enough experience to know it should) flavor dairy products.

Actually, they developed one and then realized they couldn't release it without finally admitting that the existing ones would kill you. They're still trying to claim second hand smoke isn't harmful

I don't get a lot of stupid remarks at work ...but there aren't really a lot of smokers at work who seem interested in it either. I have to vape side-by-side with them outside, 25ft away from any entrance due to company policy, so I'm guessing they probably just don't see it as "quitting smoking".

Sorry to hear works that way for you, everyone was so happy for me, and to not smelll me, 4 co workers had me order them kits and 3 are off cigs!

If I was a betting man I would bet the OP is not opening up the truck and blowing vapor at the milk. This is kind of a silly assumption. I guess I need to warn you as a chef you need to make sure and not VAPE AND BLOW YOUR VAPOR ON TO OTHER PEOPLES FOOD!
Its a little insulting and condescending to assume the OP has no since!

And the more you let it bother you the more they'll continue to pick on you. Just roll with it, make jokes with them, and it'll stop eventually. It's not worth getting annoyed about. Don't make drama where there is none.

Who cares what people think.

Make up a business card that says "Your Name Here" with a skull and crossbones below.
Hand said card to any smoker that says anything stupid to you.

If they continue to say stupid things to you, ask them if you'll be invited to their funeral.
If they continue to say stupid things to you, ask them if you can date their wife when they pass away.

There are ways to get people to shut their pieholes.
Sometimes you just have to be creative.

Kinda harsh?
Yeah, I don't screw around.
