ETA: I sincerely hope you weren't offended @vapdivrr , that wasn't my intention, you started asking the questions, and I answered them because you asked them not in any kind of personal offense way (nor did I take offense to you calling my answer childish) but simply because you asked them. If this hypothetical scenario helps you and other vapers, that is fine with me. But you did ask,; so I did answer and I hope all is Good. I'm not offended and have no reason to be, we're both grown adults. Etc.
I gave you my answer to the question you asked which was "What would I say to a vaper."
I will say, I have never been asked by ANYONE until today, "Let's imagine you remember this time when you vaped, but you have no access to vaping supplies, but you CAN smoke cigarettes. Would the hazy memory of once having vaped and now only having the option of smoking or not smoking PLUS not vaping?"
I have never, until today, one time been asked that question. Because, it takes a pretty fiction oriented person to ask it.
I still cannot (unless I pray to the spaghetti moster and wear a colander on my head, and magically protect all my vapes and my vape knowledge) in good conscience give a rational answer to that question, because I find it very hard to picture a scenario in which a smoker might ask me that,. Maybe the FDA, but only to "prove" vaping doesn't work.
I don't MIND the question, exactly, but it has zero relevance to the real world unless climate change is also true and I'll be worried about OTHER stuff, which I also put in my answer.
No, I don't converse a lot with other vapers concerning how there is this magical functional world where vaping Used to Be (not be or not be illegal) but used to magically BE and etc and would I smoke or not. I'd be laughing so hard as the question continued, I would really have to muster up some ah, Deep Thought to answer and my answer would still be, "I'm sorry, I don't Do Hypotheticals where I repeatedly answer and then more magic rules are invented my head hurts ENOUGH." Etc.
