Although, when she did say she didn't like the smell, I did reply with "You don't like the smell of cinnamon buns?!?! What kind of person are you?!"
She sounds like a nagger, just saying
"You can't do that around me, I have asthma!"

She is indeed! But I've just taken to vaping when her back is turned. She doesn't seem to notice 
March 1st, I started vaping for the first time.
My mom didn't like the idea of me doing it at first. Giving me the entire lecture of "well, I really don't know what is in it, and if it's dangerous for you" I showed my mom some articles from this site, she shut up about it.
I took a different approach with my father. When he came home from work, I left my bedroom door open, and was vaping. He looked at me and loudly exclaimed "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!?!" (bingo, the exact reaction I was expecting to get) I looked at him and innocently said " I'm vaping ". I handed him the greensmoke membership card that came in my starter pack. (It basically says "this product is made up of 99% water vapor... blah blah blah) He read it, looked up at me like then said " I never thought I'd see the day something like this would exist" still looking stunned and like he WANTED to yell at me but couldn't... he said "c-c-carry on then..." and walked off.
Epic win...

LOL LMAO!!!!!
Sounds like you have a couple of really great parents, wuccangirl. Also sound like you know exactly how to wrap them around your little finger.
I also have asthma & I smoked analogs for well over 25 years. On my kitchen table would be a pack of Marlboro's and an inhaler. To this day, now that I've switched to vaping, I cannot believe that I ever smoked analogs! They most obviously worsened my asthma, yet the crippling addiction kept me smoking analogs. Now that I'm only vaping, I have my breath and my self-respect back. That co-worker of yours needs to "grow up" and realize that your health is just as important as hers.Really? It's mostly water vapor.
How the hell do you reply to this?
It was my first negative experience, and it was a coworker. We were at dinner a few nights ago, the whole office, and I pulled out my PV and everyone was pretty excited (except her), so as I was explaining things, I took a puff and got "You can't do that around me, I have asthma." I told her it's primarily water vapor, so it's essentially steam. She started hacking and gagging. I know it was a show, like the guy in Anne Frank (the one who was "allergic" to cats) but it kinda ...... me off.
Just needed to vent a sec.
Happy vaping!
I like to fight ignorance with mock-ignorance personally.
Next time she coughs, wheezes, pants, breathes deeply, or even clears her throat close to you, just yell out "OMG DON'T DO THAT!!!1! I DON'T WANT TO GET INFECTED WITH YOUR ASTHMA!!!"

We do?! I haven't heard of one and couldn't find anything online
hope this is true though.
i would love it if there were a smoking lounge in portland oregon. Hopefully we can get one soon.
As someone who is considering switching to ecigs because the breathing issues (asthma as the er dr told me he thought it was) that analogs have created this was my biggest question before the switch...Ty for all of you with asthma that have said this has helped you! I feel more confident in making the switch now! Now all I have to do is come up with the money for it! lol

Now I want a membership card...
lolI just had a horrible experience with my own sister this week. While going to her house to visit along with my husband who has switched to e-cigs, she claimed after a good couple of hours that the vapor was "bothering" her. She said at first she wasn't sure what it was she was smelling or if her house was just stuffy, then later it progressed into her saying it stinks and smells just like cigarettes.
When we woke up the next day, she claimed she could smell cigarettes down her hallway and she put an air freshener in and sprayed Febreeze there to get rid of the odor, as she put it. She went so far as to claim that maybe we didn't wash our clothes and that was the reason for the smoke smell.
Is it possible that my sister is so closed minded and prejudiced that her mind tricked her into smelling cigarettes? I am completely dumbfounded. I could not smell a thing myself.

The unfortunate thing about cigarette smoke is its ability to stick to EVERYTHING, so it is possible that she smelled some lingering smoke on something - It could have been anything though, from clothes to a jacket or whatever. But if you want, try an experiment - Vape when she's not looking and see what her reaction is
Everything had been washed many times over since almost ten months that my husband switched to e-cigs. I've always been a non-smoker and I could not smell a thing.
Funny how the first night we were there it didn't seem to bother her then. She didn't cough, wheeze, sneeze, sniffle or rub her eyes or even make a comment on it. As I said, it progressed from the second day we were there when she stated, "It's stuffy in here" and "I'm not sure if it's your vaporizer building up or lingering" to the next morning, "It stinks just like cigarettes."
I remember back in college when we lived together for a year that she would even complain when I ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. She would always say, "Your stinky peanut butter" as I ate my sandwich.

You know it's funny, because I am "smell sensitive" too. I can't eat lunch in the lounge at school because the reek of people's lunches and cup-o-noodles and frozen dinners just makes me gag! And, yes, the worst is peanut butter: even if I'm eating it, it doesn't smell good. The thing about smells , though, is that your nose gets used to them. When I go into the bird room and Petco, the smell just about knocks me over (bird feathers have a very dusty, musky sort of smell), but if I stand there for a minute or two I don't really notice the smell anymore because my nose gets used to it. Funny that she would smell it more and more each day--the sense of smell just doesn't work that way!
My moms complains about the smell, but there isn't a scent at all. The only time I noticed something was when I was vaping cappucino, my entire room smelled like a damn coffee house...was very pleasant ^-^
And she sounds like one of those people whose built up attitudes only get higher and higher, without any possibility of having them torn down with facts, because that would mean they were wrong all along and also had been acting like an asspocket.
