What's the worst comment you've had about vaping

[jbok]

One day many father-in-law and I were in his car sitting at a red light. We were foggin' it up and decided it was a good idea to roll down the windows so he could see. This giant plume of vapor go's gushing out and I said "OMG (not zero nic) we look like Cheech and Chong!". Not a half a second later the dude in the car next to us said "OMG, you all look like Cheech and Chong!" We had a great laugh.

I live in Washington state. You can only imagine some of the uneducated comments I have gotten.

I had a smoker tell me it would rot my lungs from the antifreeze in it. I explain to him it didn't rot them it just kept the mucus moving in the winter.

when I get the antifreeze talk, I just say " well I'm good to -50f...are you?" and walk away..

"Dad, that car is on fire!" from a family passing by, while I was sitting in my parked car, window cracked open in a cold winter day, happily blowing clouds.
I felt like an idiot, that time..

Like it, no reason for you to feel that way though. Might have been worse, they could have broke a window and sprayed you with a fire extinguisher

someone once commented that I was spending too much on vaping.

EDIT: waaaaay more than once.

I have had a guy at work, who is a non-smoker and knows nothing about vaping, ask me if I'd heard about negative comments he'd seen in some of the media and he wasn't doing it to be the smart non-smoker, it's bad for you routine, he mentioned it out of concern and I think that is an amazing thing.
Then you come across the odd .... that comes at you with an attitude and being me, I'll be up in their face.

You're not aloud to smoke here.

Several times.

I think the worst I've gotten were comments from smokers, non-smokers, and ex-smokers about how bad vaping is, and how it's worse than smoking (usually followed by an explanation that they found that out thanks to facebook) There was also a nurse who told me I shouldn't use them because they're known to blow up and kill people

I was vaping heavily on some DIY strawberry shortcake on the way to work, when I walked in one of the girls I work with said I smelled like cupcakes. My nickname now is Cupcake (I'm a 6', 225 lb guy)

In all seriousness, my mother in law went on one evening while she was visiting about how she had read that they were worse than cigarettes, contained antifreeze, were going to explode and all the other ANTs talking points. I calmly explained that that there was no antifreeze in them, that my anecdotal evidence (as well as the research of Dr Farsalinos and others) told me that it was orders of magnitude safer than smoking and that the possibility of blowing up was about the same as with the cell phones we all hold up to our head and charge on our night stand.

I don't know that I changed her mind but she didn't bring it up any more

From a certified nut and heavy smoker, "You are burning oil in that thing. It is going to destroy your lungs."

I just ask them to try my vape then smell my fingers. Speechless everytime.

Generally i prefer you take me to dinner before i smell your fingers.

Technically it is an antifreeze, just not the kind they usually think of. Main argueing point to that though is its in numerous food items that you buy from the store.
