I've noticed that as the trend of Vaping (e-cigarettes) grows, there is a larger base of people who feel the need to attack the idea and the users of it, and my question to you, whether you are apart of this community of people with this dislike of vaping, or you are not, what's the reason for this objection? Firstly, let me start off by saying that I'm not trying to victimize vapers, I understand that you would be pissed off if someone was obnoxiously chucking clouds in your personal space, that's just rude and that person is probably just a douchebag in general. What I don't understand is why I'm automatically considered a douchebag for vaping. I've seen multiple threads for vape discussion, and they're all met with a few people attacking the whole entire concept. I get that it might be seen as an outlet for self-validation, but the same can be said for almost anything on a forum. We're (users of a forum) all just here to be included in a community and make some friends after all. Look, I chewed tobacco for about 5 years straight, which might not sound to bad, but on some days I felt that I was never going to quit. I posted a thread here to ask for advice on how to quit, and was directed to vaping. The next day I got a little starter kit, and I've been pretty much clean for 5 months, if we don't include a hiccup I had at a party. My mouth feels better, my teeth are whiter, I'm a happier person, I don't feel dependent anymore (I haven't even taken a rip off my vape today). 5 years doesn't sound like a lot, but it changed my life for the better. It's an anecdote, but I just want you guys to understand that it's a healthy way out of an unhealthy addiction for many people. Yes, you can bring up the kids who start doing it not even having a prior addiction, but I mean would you rather have these impressionable kids vaping or getting into cigarettes?
