Who hates vaping besides me?

I smoked 20 years. The day I vaped I quit and have not touched a cig in 4 years. I quit because work, restaurants, hotels… etc became illegal to smoke in my state. I thought cool I will just start vape instead. Now I can’t vape in public because it’s banned everywhere so I’m going to throw out my rig and snuff instead. Next they will ban snuff import and I will be fubar. Seems like the gov won’t leave me alone. Last time I was in the hospital was never so don’t give me that B.S about how I am a drain on healthcare. P.s. when I vape in public I hold it in after a hit and blow out no smoke. If I didn’t hold the rig to my mouth you couldn’t even tell I was doing it… just want my nicotine and to be left alone.

photo IMG_20160804_1609005_rewind_zpshbdwujfj.jpg Soon to cost $18 for a 3 day supply. I make $9,000 a year for a family of 3 and can’t afford e juice anymore. Going to switch to the least harmful tobacco which is snuff. Thanks government for getting me back to tobacco and killing me. Hope the lobbyists paid for a nice second vacation home for you.

@peacock yeah I live in Illinois. The tobacco act goes into affect 2018. You got about 16 months till the ball drops to get your parents off cigs. After that every flavor (menthol, blueberry, cherry) from every manufacturer Will need to be fda approved. The cost will be millions per flavor. So if you have 30 flavors in your inventory you better I have a large bank account. This cost will get passed to the consumer of course. Driving out most low cost choices. From what the video above shows the u.k. is doing the same thing. Along with it they are also lowering the quantity you can purchase. No more bulk. Just a matter of time before they add a luxury tax for healthcare purposes. So instead of choices we will be stuck with a few top players in the game and inflated prices. In the end the price will be almost the same per day as cigarettes. People will say $#=@ it I may as well be smoking cigarettes. Win for tobacco companies and big pharmaceutical. They have already talked the public into Deming it a public nuisance and I get looked at like I am a smoker again. My wife’s grandma tells us every time we see her that we should go back to cigarettes because e cigs are dangerous. Scare the public, control the facts, destroy the competition. I’m giving up and moving on to snuff happily. If you wanna vape get bulk before 2018 or your wallet is going to pay. Just my 2 cents.

@Robert Anderson well i can understand the want to regulate it to prevent actual harmful things from being put in e juice. however, everybody with half a brain knows you cant trust the fda because they are in the pockets of big business. the 18 dollar price tag might not be accurate either. the fda may just come up with a list of approved ingredients as they do with many other things. we will have to wait until 2018 to see how all this will pan out. in the mean time, buy up a lifetimes supply of juice if it doesnt go bad

@RobertAnderson Makes me glad I’m in Canada. As of right now it’s has only gone as far as treating it like cigarettes. So no vaping indoors in public places and whatnot. It’s being handled provincially instead of federally, and as far as I know, we are not adopting the USA’s plan to make juice makers pay up the yin yang. However the concentrated flavors can be reliable as food flavoring (actually, that’s how they were sold as before vaping took off) and they can use that to get around the FDA’s ruling. Big tobacco wants to monopolize the vaping industry. Just follow the money. Shut them down by buying up all the PG, VG and concentrated flavors that you can and don’t pay them a cent, or the tax the federal government will impose upon big tobacco for regulated e juice.

Well, I vape, and its the ONLY THING that helped me quit smoking. Same with my dad, my wife, my neighbor, and countless friends. I saw a comment up here that said otherwise, but I’m living proof along with countless others that it does work. you can hate vaping all you want, but it helped me.

Also, it’s not quite a fad seeing as it’s been around for over 10 years…

oh no, not this thread again, why wont it just die?! what is it about the internet that makes people so sensitive? 

It also makes some people insensitive. :stuck_out_tongue:

^ ha! your point has been received!

I highly dislike vaping. I didnt have anything against it…but then I went to a bar, and this one (you dont need to know the word) starts vaping like hes a damn steamroller…and it smelled HORRIBLE! The smell reminds me of walking around in a house that recently burned down. Sure, I could just go out of the bar…and I did, but the smell was stuck in m hair, in my clothes…it was following me around! Hated vaping ever since

@RobertAnderson do you order your e liquids over the internet or buy them in store. When I was vaping trying to quit smoking I used to buy the highest nicotine strength liquid which I think was either 24 or 32mg per ml, the diluting them down myself. I bought a lot of large 50ml bottles for quite cheep online from a good source. I started vaping after a bad motorcycle accident which stopped me being able to walk for a couple of years since it was quite difficult to go outside for a cigarette. I stopped vaping quite awhile ago not only because I misplaced one of the batteries but was getting strange wheezing sounds while exhaling, I also came down with bronchitis a couple of times which I attributed to vaping a lot. I also enjoyed tobacco far too much. Now I’ve quit smoking, thanks to my new friend snuff.

and to answer your question, I neither like nor dislike vaping. I would say some flavors were pleasant although I don’t see the point in it anymore since I want the other alkaloids not just the nicotine. I don’t mind other people vaping, unless they don’t shut up about vaping while trying to have a conversation with them. Although I do enjoy a nice Davinchi portable outdoor vape or a volcano for some grade A herb every once In awhile. Anyway why vape when you can get so much more satisfaction from snuffing

Tried it for a week or so. Too digital and techy for me. I prefer real tobacco. I don’t hate it, but I don’t really admire it much. Still, a lot of friends say that it helps them give up fags, so good luck to em. I never hear anyone tell me that without promoting snuff as a better alternative. I’m happy to say that the woman I’m with, while a non smoker and utterly contemptuous of vaping, thinks snuff is cool and eccentric. I gave her a little silver box full, but it almost blew her head off. I probably shouldn’t have started her off with White Elephant, but it was what I had on hand.
