That is what I would have thought as well. I get disappointed looks from people at work now, when they ask me for a cig and I tell them that I don't have any. I don't even carry a lighter with me anymore. I'm of the opinion that let them think what they want. The only person's opinion that matters is my own and I'm completely happy with vaping. I've tried all kinds of things to quit smoking and this is the only one that has ever worked for me.
