I dont see how, even after an in depth conversation, some people still think vaping=smoking.

Me: Its vapor, not smoke.
Random Person: Ehhhh! It looks like smoke!
Me: Ummm, no not really. Maybe from a distance. And does it smell like smoke?
RP: Uhhhh. SO? They make mint cigarettes. Thats smoking!
Me: Menthol actually, and that still smells like smoke. BTW did I mention there isn't any combustion? If nothing is ignited then how is there smoke?
RP: I dont care about anything you say I still think its smoke so YOU are a smoker!
Me: ......

#27 If you smoke that thing then the cat will lick the butter, if the cat licks the butter then its hair will get in the butter. If a child eats the butter that has the cats hair in it the child will die.

Maybe it would be easier to explain if there was a pot of boiling water nearby. Look at the wonderful SMOKE coming from that pot. It looks like I am ready to add the pasta and SMOKE it.
Maybe afterwards, you can all go to the sauna and have a nice SMOKE.
Ugggh!

#18 is the one I hear most often, and it takes every fiber of my being to keep my eyes from rolling so far back into my head that they would actually come back around the other way. Ugggh!

That danger is present (If statistically unlikely) with ANY electronic device.

My response is typically "and your phone can explode against your ear."

Editted to add: I didn't see this, lol

Esp. when they've got a cell phone glued to their head when they say it.

Precisely this.

#(whatever) It is unhealthy to suck on battery vapor.

I actually heard that one before.

my favorite was given to my by my daughter this weekend,,,,,,(Oldest daughter,,,youngest one is a vapor),,,,

It's too much work.

Really???? More work than lugging around an oxygen tank when you're 70?????

and she's SMART, that's what gets me!!!!

Get this....(about 18 months ago) someone once said at least they know about the safety features in a cigarette.......ya, what? So I felt the need for further clarification...."so you think that cigarettes are inherently safer to use than a vaporizor?" The answer was "yes, they have that thing in them that puts the cigarette out so it doesn't burn a house down....e-cigs don't have that." I decided not to pursue any further discussion on the matter...and walked away.

 

[CommaHolly]

oh my gosh, I'm dying here one of the things we like BEST here is that there's no danger of fire!!!!!!

(...)The dark side of the force will corrupt our children, according to a new FDA study.

This belongs in every thread.

The REALLY funny thing about that person...... is that they are allowed to drive and vote.

I think..... yup. Thats going in my sig.

 

[Big Screen D]

Just tell a nosy busy body that it helps to kill flies and mosquitoes near you. The look on their face as they cut off the conversation and back away is priceless.

not to mention "procreate".

I was so going to say something like that...but decided to hold off until I could find a more tactful way. You win!

My boss the other day said "It cant be healthy inhaling water vapor" ?

 

[supergerbil]

We are like what.. 70, 80% water and yet H20 is one of the most potent solvents on earth.

Sunlight, which is essential to life, causes cancer.

Oxygen oxidizes things yet we cant live for more than a few minutes without it.

Tar.... well tar should stay as a building material and out of our bodies.

It's pretty humid here today. I knew there was a reason I shouldn't go out to do yard work!

I worked in a dance club for 9 years been going to dance clubs for 20 years they all use fog machines which vaporize PG. WE could have bought PG 55 gal drums with how much we used a week. any one that has been to a dance club, laser show, haunted house, magic show, concert, etc has inhaled PG/water vapor.

Sorry everyone, I forgot to source my material,


"In our most recent scientific study, we have determined that certain electronic cigarettes share an uncanny resemblance to Darth Vader's light saber," Mr. Bob Dobalina, a leading PR representative of the FDA announced during last Thursday's press conference. "The dark side of the force represents a serious threat to our youth, and will probably corrupt our children. We are perusing legal action and seek to regulate this Sith-like device."

A public release to the study can be found here: Scientific study based on science, facts, truth, and logic

You can't argue with science.
