Vaping ads on other web sites

[NCC]

I know the Lounge is supposed to be for off topic stuff. If this needs to be moved to a more appropriate place, thank you and sorry.

In just the past week I've noticed an explosion of vaping and ecig ads on web sites vast and varied in their content. I'm fairly sure this is due to some cookie and hoping that clearing my cookies will at least temporarily stop the bombardment I'm seeing everywhere.

But it still bothers me. Wondering who's responsible for tracking me, placing a cookie, or whatever. I feel violated. I'm not a big fan of targeted marketing apparently.

Yeah, I've noticed that as well. Alot of spam has been coming to my email and it doesn't make me a happy camper at all. I don't know where it is coming but all of it coming has been from cheap inferior ecigs.

Me three. I have been getting a lot more spam than I used to. Such a pain.

Hey its not all bad! I just found out I have $5,000,000 US cash waiting for me in Nigeria AND $150,000 US from a united nations settlement! All I have to do is send them all my personal info and $150.00 each money order to ship me the cash!

(obviously i wont)

AC0J: I hate to burst your bubble, but I think everyone gets those. I'd bet $100 though, that people who don't purchase vaping supplies online don't see the level of vaping ads in their surfing as I'm seeing today.

suddenly: I got your note concerning my new Avatar. You made me switch. I figured if you can show the real you online, then so could I! Granted, I'm not as cute as you are ... hmmm. I might re-think this thing, LOL
