Yeah... I had to explain the whole charade to my mother too; she's very gullible about stuff she sees on the news. However she's also a realist, and knows very well that money makes the world go 'round. She's not *entirely* convinced, but starting to understand a little better. And also in agreement that anything which can get ME to quit smoking, can't be ALL bad. :D

Yeah right. :D She has ZERO patience for anything "internet". If I could somehow get it on her TV, she *might* watch it, but she's not a big TV watcher either. She'd most likely fall asleep -- so well oxy'd that it's hard to have a conversation with her, nevermind get her to watch something. :facepalm: She also has the attention span of a gnat... right in the middle of a phone call, suddenly I'll hear a scream in my ear - "PHIL! What are you doing?" (to my stepdad).

Role reversal has definitely begun -- now, anytime I know they're leaving the house, all I can say is BE CAREFUL! about a million times. They're both quite likely to fall, anywhere, anytime. :facepalm:

He may not know how -- did anyone report it so a mod can do it?

I didn't consider that, if @Christopher Molina is checking in, just replace the . With DOT, or add a space in the middle.

My in laws were over for dinner one night and out of the blue my MIL says "you know, vaping is worse for you than smoking". I asked for sources and got "well, they say..." :facepalm:

IMO, dinner with your MIL is worse than both (for your mental health) :blink:

EDIT: no offense meant to any mother in laws, I'm married to one :)

My mother does the same thing. She doesn't trust my judgement, but she believes the politicians, the media, the tobacco companies and her 86 year old neighbor who smokes.

Man, Face book is a double edged sword. We are very active in multiple groups that I cant mention due to policy. But they are all very knowledgeable vapers, world wide I might add, and truth spreads fast. The other side, which is best described as militant anti vapers, are completely clueless and feel they have to spread their half truths and lies. Its just slays me that two complete opposites can exist like this. I guess what I`m trying to say s facebook is a wonderful means of connecting people, as long as you know what you want and are not easily confused.
