My parents still insist that it's the nicotine that causes cancer. My dad is 76 and has COPD and Parkinson's - yesterday I told him (for the umpteeth time) that it doesn't and I added this time that he should talk to his doctor about starting vaping himself. I doubt that he should actually start using nicotine, but I'm hoping that if he does ask his doctor he'll at least get the facts about nicotine not being harmful for me. Both my parents trust their doctor and are always on my case about anything even slightly that goes wrong 'Well, did you go to the doctor?', "Why haven't you gone to the doctor?" I am currently suffering through a case of shingles and haven't seen, nor intend to see, the doctor yet, so they actually asked the doctor lots of questions in their last visit hoping, I think, to get some information from him to pass on to me to convince me to go see the doctor! I'm hoping this little bit of reverse psychology telling him to ask his doctor about vaping himself will get him enough info to leave me alone.

Hmmm all of this looks pretty familiar. The anti freeze comments. So you really haven't quit? Pretty much if it was something on a news article somewhere...it's been brought up to me. For the most part I try to educate. Here's one that hasn't been posted yet.
" I don't know how smoking vegetable oil could be good for you". Meh..

When people bring up the anti-freeze bit, I tell them, "yes, there is some anti-freeze that contains propylene glycol, but that's the non-toxic kind of anti-freeze."

"A third type of Antifreeze is a relatively new product known as non-toxic Antifreeze (Propylene Glycol based). As this product is manufactured using non-toxic Propylene Glycol rather than toxic Monoethylene Glycol, it is considered to be a safe alternative to traditional ‘blue’ Antifreeze..."
