why smokers constantly attacking me?

[Codz]

I recently had a smoker tell me that vaping is worse for you because she had read somewhere that with vaping you dont get all the other chemicals, which serve to dilute the nicotine.

I was so gobsmacked i couldnt really think of an apt reply so just had to shake my head and walk off.

My family would rather me smoke they say that vaping will kill me and that no one knows what's in it.

You might want to look for a new family.

This reminds me of a story about a friend of mine. He was, at the time, a pack and a half to two packs a day smoker. He was hacking up a lung, just coughing like crazy, and I suggested that he might want to cut back on the smoking. This was around the time of the Chernobyl disaster, and he said "It's not the smoking, it's that Chernobyl sh**!" This was in Ohio. I just shook my head.

Never had a fellow smoker tell me anything negative about eCigs.

If I did, I'd be honest and let them know I do both, but prefer vaping. Then I'd be very interested in where the conversation goes from there.

Give them each a copy of this for Christmas: http://publichealth.drexel.edu/~/media/Files/publichealth/ms08.pdf

I don't believe that any of them would read that paper, or have enough power to understand it :/

I am glad I haven't encountered people like this. I would be baffled if someone who is CHOOSING to put something in their body which they KNOW has 2000+ horrible chemicals, would come to try and talk to me about what I am doing? Some people blow my mind.

Kind of like Pelosi's healthcare bill comment to congress when they opposed it, "We have to read it to find out what's in it".

I'd tell them that your ecig juice consists of 4 or 5 ingredients: Propylene Glycol and/or vegetable glycerine, cake and candy flavorings from the same providers that supply them to bake those items, water, and nicotine.

Yes, you are inhaling the heated vapor and PG and VG fog can be a lung irritant if you overdo it. Nicotine can make you dizzy if you overdo it. So can the nic lozenges people use to quit smoking.

The important part of the whole thing is that no one has issued a dire warning against vaping. A 5 year test was recently concluded that showed no harm found in the thousands of vapers who participated. Air content levels were taken from the test rooms and published in the report. All were within normal EPA limits for those chemicals detected in spectrographic analysis reports. The vapers' blood tests and all the other tests they performed and recorded showed nothing out of range.

Even more than that, you are able to quit smoking by vaping. Lots of people try cold turkey cessation and fail. Only about 7% of those who use the pharmaceutical quit smoking methods succeed. The numbers I've seen from vapers who quit smoking range as high as 80%. It's a win-win proposition for those who try it.
