Anti PV's

In the last week i've had the oppertunity to share my new found toy with others and apart from one person, you'd think I was offering crack to them. I'm quite shocked tbh. My Dad who smoked for 50 years and just recently managed to stop smoking with the help of champix, but has been having the odd sneaky fag. I offered him a try and said it was probably a better alternitave to smoking again. He blankly refused to try. And an old friend who I bumped into who I'd put into the hard core smoking catagory, and I offered her a try as she had a cheap e-cig from the chemist for when shes in her husbands car (he doesn't let her smoke in there) and she said if I wanna smoke I'll have a fag. I honestly thought people would be more open to trying it.
Shame really :{ I would have given up smoking years ago if I had one of these available to me.

Some people just can't be helped

Its all about perception. Much of the time, People just can't get their head around it and are very dubious when they see something that doesnt look like a fag. You can almost guarantee that if you had had asked the same people to try one that looked just like a cig, you would get a far better response.

I sent a kit to my sister a couple of years ago but she wouldn't try it. However, she did give up tobacco last May - with nicotine chewing gum *yuk* Now she chews ordinary gum, gives me jaw-ache just thinking about it

Nats, some people will always be resistant to change. They are set in their ways and refuse to try anything new.

I knew about e-cigs a year before I actually tried them, I thought they were a silly gimmick. I finally bought a kit, thinking that it might help me cut down on my cigarette/pipe smoking, but I wasn't very optomistic. It wasn't long, before I realized just how good e-cigs were.

As long as you let people know that e-cigs exist, that's all that matters. I'm sure that some of them will try it eventually.
