With me I had to deal with stuff like : Do you carry your Vape in your purse, be a real man etc etc.
Just started with replying with this: Jip, women just love the whole ashtray smell and lung failure thing. Kinda worked

For me it is very easy... people that are curious, want to discuss, want to debate or have any sort of decent conversation, I will happily engage.
On the other hand... people that just want to spout nonsense and say their say, say it and move along, I have no time for you.
^ this applies to more than just vaping.
My time is precious, I refuse to waste it on idiots

Alex, the God himself, back at it again. Ready to mess up some misinformed tards with facts!
Come on who gives a ****.
Old friends ........... get some new ones.
Family .............. bit more tricky but any eat or drink too much? Over weight? Have ago back.
I have to say I've not encounted much negativity regarding my vaping.

It is a lot easier for me to quote my own health improvement, than to try and remember the facts from an article: chest pains gone, chronic cough gone, suspect tissue on my lip gone, chronic headaches gone, etc, etc.

My ma in law keeps posting crap about ecigs.
I have to restrain myself from saying I will go back to smoking then. I COULD NOT STOP SMOKING. I tried and tried. I would've been smoking till buried.

Which reminds me of a joke:
"I saw this young girl texting away on her phone while driving...
"I got so angry, I rolled down my window and threw my beer at her."

I couldn't give a flying rats ass when people start their BS about vaping being bad for you.
I know how I feel now since I started vaping 4 months ago. It is nice not donating a lung or two to the ashtray every morning. I can smell my aftershave throughout the day. I don't stink of smoke anymore.
The best part? Walking into a nice fresh house every day.
Whenever a smoker starts feeding me some BS about vaping, I just move away and tell him that he stinks, and have no desire to die prematurely. That normally shuts them up.
I love it when I get back into my car after doing some shopping and getting that fresh odor of whatever I am vaping coming from my mod patiently waiting in the cupholder.
Get you some of that, smokers!

Or getting into the hot car in the middle of a scorching day and having toot of a refreshing fruity menthol.
A few weeks back I had a bit of a cold. Lasted 4 days from sniffs to scratchy throat to end of coughing. While i was smoking I would have been coughing for at least 3 weeks after.
For me that is very difficult. Got another tag to how vaping is more canceres. I nearly unfriended the person. But I posted a article about findings how its not. So lets see if she gets the message now. Next tag is a going out the door.
In the beginning, I used to get annoyed by these folk and engage. But these days, I don't give a damn. I usually just nip the conversation with a line like, "to each his own." Or, "you do you, I do me."
I don't have time to get into debates with people who have already made their minds up due to mainstream media.

Yip, or I explain how much healthier I feel. When I'm in a caring mood.
I get these negative comments almost everyday from many people. My response is always simple
‘I feel a lot healthier, I feel happier, I feel that I can make the call on what helps and what does not help my wellbeing. Vaping is enjoyable and whilst being that it’s made a huge difference in my health at an early stage in my life. So let me be’
It’s always going to be a fight like many other arguments. But I don’t go around telling people not to ride motorcycles or not to over eat etc, live the life you love, and if people can’t take that, blow a cloud and walk away.

This is now my attitude. I don't care anymore. If people are to ignorant to facts then they need to go fly a kite. I will even blow clouds to help them along.
I must have a very tolerant family and social circle because I've mostly had encouragement or interested enquiries. Most people ask me how it works, what are the benefits, how does it compare to smoking tobacco, and so on. I had one who said "it's still nicotine so you're still addicted, you haven't kicked your dependence on it". Which is a fair point, I guess.
I don't think the negative mindset comes totally from the media because most media coverage these days is positive. I think people have been so indoctrinated, by fifty years of anti-smoking campaigns, that any chemical you inhale must be cancerous and will kill you the day after tomorrow. If it looks like smoking, it must be as bad as smoking, in their view. It's a conclusion they reach independently without even consulting the media.

This is very true as well, and I agree completely that a huge part of the problem is that the vast majority of people still see nicotine = cigarettes = deadly. They don't realise or know better that it's the other rubbish thrown into cigs that is the real danger, and that's exactly what we get rid of by vaping.
There is that angle but the other angle, especially from those who have quit altogether, is "I don't need nicotine anymore, you still do". Seven of the nine smokers in my direct family quit everything, I vape, one still smokes. So the seven claim to be better off. They don't think about nic now, they don't spend anything on it, they don't get edgy if they can't get it. So it's a valid point and one that I don't argue against. Quitting everything is the gold medal, switching to a less harmful form of nic is the silver, continuing smoking is the booby prize and wooden spoon combined.
