That honestly doesn't bother me. You have to recall being a smoker, people were ALWAYS telling me how bad it was for me, they thought they were enlightening me with some useful piece of information I did not have. As I have always stated, I like smoking, I never intended to quit smoking even when I came to this site. I was simply looking for cost reduction.
Now a few friends of mine tried to turn me on to e-cigs earlier, and well I'll be honest, I simply dismissed them. Why? I wasn't ready why should I change? You found a reason to change that's great, you are not them. When Ohio implemented a .75 cent tax because it's "Bad for you" is when I decided something has to change, now i'm spending $250 bucks a week on smokes. Tried smokes from Russia and a few other places didn't like the taste.
Now I recalled my friends who tried to get me to try e-cigs, quickly dismissed the ones who kept pushing me to try it and went to a friend who never really pushed it at all and asked him a ton of questions. Bought my first ecig that day, and although that particular one didn't turn out to be the one for me, it did give me enough to say hey i can do this and I wanted to do it.
My biggest peeve is people who simply don't realize, that telling people they should do this or that are NO BETTER [then] those who constantly barrage the smoker. I cannot say how much I hated people telling me I need to quit, my response was nope. Don't want to. And i turned off my ears pretty much from anything else they had to say.
Vaping and smoking are NOT the same, it is as I always tell the person questioning me, in my experience, if you choose to vape, realize it's not same same, but it's not that much different then changing brands of cigarettes. At least from a smoking perspective. That was my first thought on the very first hit I took from my vaporizer.
Anyway sorry for the rant but I see this oh they won't try it and it just irritates me from my former smoking years.

You don't care about your health? And I do have some useful information that many smokers don't have - that vaping is almost universally regarded as being more enjoyable than smoking cigarettes, and is considerably less harmful.

"Bad for you", in quotes??

I will never, ever stop telling people that there is now an arguably superior alternative to smoking killer ciggies, until any particular individual asks me to stop. Encouraging people to start vaping is vastly different than just telling someone to stop smoking, without offering a realistic alternative like vaping.

I agree that there are vast differences between cigarette smoking and vaping. One is extremely harmful and smelly, the other isn't.

As I've said before, I don't see many rational reasons for not at least trying vaping, since I firmly believe that the vast majority of people who give it a proper try with proper equipment and juice will find that it's more enjoyable than smoking.
