Why do people make fun of it?

[ZStyle81]

I got laughed at too, but the way I figure it is that just don't have the balls to do something that might make them look a little silly to people with closed minds. I knew coming into the e-cig world that it would be a hassle at times dealing with childish people, but luckily my love of being different helps me tune them out

However, there are just as many people who are intrigued by it.

I suffered a variant of this. Ranting nutter called me out in a bar about polluting her environment. Went through my usual spiel, took it apart to show her there was no flame or tobacco and then reassembled it and carried on vaping. The lack of a lighter or matches shut her up for a moment or two, then she started haw-hawing about me sucking on a pen.

Told her to go forth and multiply at that point...

Answer: Filet
2) What do you get if you take an 'i' out of plaice?
Answer: place.
3) What do you get if you take an 'f' out of smoke?
Answer: There is no f in smoke.

I live in a fairly progressive area, and I usually get:

But I'm 6'1", 250lbs and look like a Wookiee. I don't get told to do much

Hey Bellinghamster! If you run into my son Jeremy out there, turn him onto this stuff, he's a Bellinghamster also. He is 6'1" at about 185 and needs to stop the analog before it's too late.

Thanks,

They probably think you are a wannabe or something thats why..

did you try explaining to them what the e-cig is?

I didn't really get anybody making fun of me, I usually get strange stares and thats about it
