5. We, The Vapers
Call me harsh, call me an arse-hole, but every time our 10 million strong number does anything to bring vaping into a bad light it gets magnified. Blow a cloud in the lobby at the movie theater while a council woman is standing by you, the next week the whole town faces a vaping ban… which passes because all vapers are judged by one persons actions. Read the other points on this list, believe me when I say they are looking for any excuse to put bans in place everywhere. Do not be the person who is used as a scapegoat for their aggressive over reaches, make sure that when the advocates and lobbyists show up to the town hall meeting, all they have to fight is junk science, not bad manners.
Our job as vapers is to make sure we do our part to keep the industry alive for future generations of smokers who will succumb to the draw of combustible cigarettes who have not even been born (sounds like something Greg Conley said at VaperSlam… I guess that stuck in my head), to educate people as to why their thoughts on vaping have been wrong, and to convince them that they should not be trying to ban but embrace the vaping industry.
As always, enjoy your vaporizers and vape safe!
