I was in the 'smoking area' in the car park today (in a bl**dy gale, I might add), when a customer came up to ask if I had a light for his ciggie. I've never seen anyone more confused when I said no... 'but you're smoking', he said. Without getting too 'evangelical, I explained what it was that was producing the 'vapour' and my own personal journey... gave him the link to here... and he went away scratching his head! We shall see... but I wouldn't know him if he did register.  |

Happens to me a lot on the street in London. I sometimes wonder if I should short a battery and light their entire pack  |

Same here I must get asked for a light nearly every time I go out for a vape break. Now they cone over and say "have you got a...., oh never mind!" they must be used to me now.
Best one was when 3 peeps can into the little doorway where I was vaping and they were whispering a discussion if grey should move as it wasn't fair as I was vaping! Told them not to worry and we all got chatting. See them a couple of times a week and each time they say they must give vaping a go. One day they will.
On a good note another workmate called me yesterday asking where I get my vape stuff. He's been on cigalikes for a couple of months and wanted something more cost effective. Have him the idea of an evod from my pack and it arrived next day, another convert!

I would usually have a lighter with me anyway. Makes a cracking bottle opener. ..

On a similar theme. I was the only smoker in family here ( in laws). Mother in law hated me smoking, and nagged all the time. Anyway, I stopped smoking almost 6 months ago. I still get nagged. Because I smoked I always had a lighter on me. So on birthdays I was always in charge of lighting the candles. Last month was my daughter s birthday. Mother in law asks me for my lighter, I don't have one " but you must have one! We need your lighter!". I've since bought her a box of matches.
