I've had a number of smokers tell me that vaping was a lot worse for me as they puffed away on their 4000 chemicals and carcinogens. Wow... Just WOW. They were all really hostile to vaping too. I'm not sure what to make of that. There really does seem to be a lot of hostility against vaping, and from what I've seen it has it's roots in profound ignorance.
With people who are deeply convinced they know better and trying to tell me it's the same as smoking, I choose a line of lesser resistance with only quoting all the benefits I experienced since quitting cigarettes.
They: You don't know what they put in it.
Me: OK.
They: So why do you do that ?
Me: Because I stop coughing, and I breathe easier, I have no longer problem with sinuses, since I quit cigarettes and start using e-cigarette.
They: It's the same as smoking.
Me: Absolutely. (have your way...)
They: So why do you still do that ?
Me: Because since I quit cigarettes and started using e-cigarette I am no longer wheezing, my smell and taste senses become better and I stop coughing.
After such a short conversation most of the times they just shut up. Sometimes it happens they nod off and grin at me like what do I know. But they have heard about my health condition improvements besides using e-cigarette, and now it's up to them what to do with it. It was not always the line of lesser resistance, on the beginning I tried telling people about e-cigarettes in a greater detail, but with someone who knows better without experiencing it or unwilling to listen and learn, I found it's not worth my time.
