Mentioned to a guy in the smoking area one time that he should consider vaping to get off the smokes. He said that you don't know whats in that juice they use, so he wasn't going to take any chances.That happens to me at least once a month. More often though, strangers ask does that really work? I give a brief synopsis on how vaping helped me to quit smoking, why its safer than smoking, and sometimes even add how/why Big Tobacco and Big Pharma puts out negative propaganda about vaping. A few strangers are closed minded and continue to believe the propaganda they seen, but most people are interested and receptive.
I know someone will say it's around since 5,000 BC but the act of recreational smoking came into being in the 16th Century. So we have until the 26th or 27th Century to get plenty of proof, fair is fair right?Yep it's frustrating, but you can hardly fault the average person for parroting what they hear on the TV News. Be prepared to defend yourself next time with some anti-propaganda, a.k.a. facts. The same thing happened to me not long ago, and I responded that he was mistaken because e-cigs have been shown to be at least 95% safer than cigarettes. I then pointed out that there are a lot of vicious rumors going around these days because e-cigs are so disruptive to the tobacco companies, and he agreed. I've got some choice studies linked at the top of my profile info page which come in handy.
I thought about asking that question with some guys girlfriends, but that wouldn't end well.ask if they could "hit" that...
lol I suppose.I know someone will say it's around since 5,000 BC but the act of recreational smoking came into being in the 16th Century. So we have until the 26th or 27th Century to get plenty of proof, fair is fair right?
Not to mention, Mercury in their hats, and lead on their faces... For that ultra healthy ghostly look.lol I suppose.
Recreational smoking became popular in a time when houses were already full of smoke from wood burning stoves and fireplaces, so how could a little bit more hurt? They also used arsenic in their carpets and wallpaper for the lovely shade of green it produced. And chamber pots. The tobacco stink didn't become apparent until natural gas, electricity, and sanitation were widespread.
