Ecig got me yelled at

Went to the Museum with my GF today.... I don't know if anyone remembers the post I made last week about wanting to try Ecigs, but yeah, I bought one and have been using it for a couple days... it's pretty cool.
Anyhow, I'm puffing on it inside the museum and this Older gentlemen, obviously security, Storms over to me and very loudly demands "Sir, put it out NOW!".
He was quite embarrassed when I explained to him what it was... haha, I felt bad for the guy really.
Anyone got any interesting Ecig stories of this nature? I thought it was quite hilarious that people think they're really cigarettes.

A friend said he got talked to in a movie theater for smoking one. I don't know if they all do, but the e-cigg he had lit up on the end when you hit it.
once he explained it to them they were like ok and left him alone. He said he had to put the red end on his hand to show it wasn't actually burning.

Haha, my brother has one of those. I went to Halloween Horror Nights at universal with him a few years ago, and he was smoking it in line. We had already seen a whole bunch of people being told to put out their cigarettes. So he sees some woman powerwalking over to our location, so he puts the thing in his pocket. She says "Hey! Put that thing out right now!" He asks her wtf she's talking about. So she says that he needs to put out his cigarette, and he tells her he doesn't have one. So she spends like 5 minutes looking all over the floor for the cigarette that he dropped, but never found it. So she apologizes and walks away. It was pretty hilarious.

Mine lights up but it lights up blue, so its never been mistaken for a cigarette. I did get some stupid bitch at a coffee shop, of all places, tell me I could't smoke in there. I explained what it was to her, and that it wasn't actual smoke, and she just looked at me and repeated "You can't smoke in here!" I finished my coffee and then fuckin left and haven't been back since. God DAMN I hate stupid people.

lol i was in rehab last year. a rehab that doesnt allow cigarettes or tobacco products. i dont smoke cigs so i didnt really care. but everyone else was sneakin them in and watchin out for each other while they opened a window and smoked out the window. covering up the leftover smoke smell wasnt easy... they take all your cologne away basically for that reason.
anyway, i was talkin to some of the guys, and brought up the ecig thing. because technically, it isnt smoking, and it isnt tobacco. so one of the guys called his girlfriend and she brought one in for him. worked like a charm. still kept it on the DL though of course. didnt even have to open a window, they dont smell like what you think it would smell like. more like stale air than smoke or anything.
sorry thats not an exciting story but thats all i had

a woman I work with had her 16 year old son get suspended from school because he was "smoking" an e-cig outside during a break and the principal confiscated it. The kid asked if he could get it back after school, the principal said no, so the kid called him an asshole and got suspended for a week.

Haha, well ecigs aren't legal for minors to posses either. It's still got nicotine in it. I'm surprised he wasn't suspended just for having it.

at least where i'm from minors can have tobacco products, they just can't buy them. If someone were to give them the stuff free of charge, it is lawful.

In the US you can get a ticket if your caught with tobacco stuff underage. Not even allowed to have a pack of rolling papers.
Hell, you can get pulled over, be 20 years old and get a paraphernalia charge for simply having a pack of rolling papers but not rolling tobacco.

I'm in the states... NJ, PA, and NY allow minors to have tobacco products if underage as far as my knowledge. I don't smoke and am of age, but I remember in high school cops even told us that they couldn't charge us unless they were trying to buy it or something

back in high school, a friend of mine got a fuckin citation from an ATF agent across the street from our high school for smoking a cigarette when he was 17. THAT is ridiculous. you would think federal agents have better shit to do than ticket high school kids for smoking cigarettes.
but no. they dont.

You can't really, you just have to present the facts and hope they will eventually realize its stupid to smoke cigs and quit. You can't *make* anybody quit anything, short of locking them up indefinitely.

A coworker of mine at an old job would always give me his to smoke. It was okay; a little weird but not bad. Definitely hasn't caught on with the public yet, though.
I live in PA and I have no experience with police ticketing underage people using tobacco products, I haven't even heard of that before. Pretty shitty.

But giving them away free of charge to minors isn't okay. It really doesn't make any sense, minors can have them (I believe), but there's no legal way for them to get tobacco products.

That's how they all should be. How the fuck can you be expected to quit your addiction when tabacco is one of the most addictive substances there is?

I have an ecig that I got about two years ago. I haven't even used it in about a year though. It's just not the same as real smoking :o
And the vapor doesn't smell like anything really.

Agreed. You were vaping it inside a museum? And some other guy in a movie theater? Wtf do you expect morons.
The Carbon Dioxide you exhale is more dangerous than the vapor, so really, you're the moron if you agree with that. Once the security guard realized it was an Ecig, he apologized and said it was fine to use.
I used to get a bunch of bullshit for smoking cigarettes in bars when it was legal, the nancy boy anti-smokers won that battle here, nothing I can do about it, the people voted it out.
I can at least understand why cigarette smoke bothers some people, but if I get a bunch of bullshit from people because of water vapor from my E-cig, that's when I'm gonna cram some fresh dog shit down some throats and see how they like that instead.
Seriously, if I get one complaint from a real person in real life about my E-cig out in public, I'm going to fucking jail.
This society needs to clean the sand out of its vagina.

The only reason some people think ecigs are crap is because: a. They fall for misinformation like most do with drug use, or b. they were ripped off with an over-priced cheaply made chinese piece of crap.
I use a PV (personal vaproizer is what they are really called) and have not touched a cig since. The best model you can get is called a Riva, and the starter kit in only $30...yes, only $30.
It comes with two complete units and 10 cartridges that you fill with liquid. There are literally thousands of flavors to choose from, so if you think the cheap one you tried tastes like crap, it's because it had a crap flavor in it.
They are completely harmless and the ingredients of the liquid are all USP or food grade materials.
As for nicotine, it does not cause cancer and no one ever claimed it did, It's the 4000 other chemicals in cigarettes that are harmful. Nicotine is also not nearly as addictive in it's pure form as it is when mixed with the chemicals the tobacco companies add to it.
There is more nicotine in eggplant an potatoes than there is in second hand smoke.
There is no reason people should shun ecigs in public, they just do it out of ignorance.
find a GOOd PV, some liquid that you like, and you can stop smoking like thousands of others already did.
