I just met Plymouth's 'village' idiot.

A bloke in his 50s on a mobility scooter drove towards me earlier and gave me a pretty dirty look, thinking nothing of it I had a little vape (my cloudage went nowhere near him, I'm well aware that people might not like or know about what we do and really don't want to give us a bad rep with almost anyone!) and he made the most exaggerated coughing sound you could imagine and pointed at me.

I'm not sure he expected me to laugh at him and I'm amazed he didn't try to run me over as the look he gave me was even nastier than the first one. I couldn't help myself, he had a lit fag in his gob.

I wasn't in a hurry and would have stopped to talk with him had he put his opinion into words rather than glares and gestures, but somehow I don't think he was for converting. His loss.

On a far more positive note, I saw a lot more people vaping than smoking in my half hour in town and a distinct lack of ego/ce4 combos, an evod setup was as basic as it got. People of all ages too, not just the young'uns as it used to be in Plymouth. At times vapers outnumber smokers in the smoking area at work too.

Word really seems to be getting out about how great an alternative to smoking what we do is. While the TPD won't stop most of us, it kills me to think of those people going back to cancer sticks.

He probably thought you were going to burn a hole in his lung with your Superman X-Ray vision, although he's doing a good job of it on his own. Daft old Eejit.

I'm not an idiot!

I had one of those in pub garden in Greenwich, everyone smoking, me only vapor, but this guy kept looking at me and coughing a bit to loudly, in the end he decided to ask me to put that out, cant I replied it's not alight, he looked perplexed, finished his drink and left. Was not smelly juice (dekang tobacco) and fairly obvious I was not smoking (MPV with a tank). Some people are just stupid, thats life !!!

If one more person says to me about burning a hole in my lung, I think I might well put a hole in their head
