Just released from ER to be met with severe ignorance

Damn bud, that sucks! Glad to hear you are doing better!

One of the Boeing engineers at my work is like that, constantly giving me shit about vaping. He is a great guy, and one of the most intelligent ppl I have ever met, but no matter what I say he is dead set against vaping and has to give me crap about it ever chance he gets.

I also prefer the ā€œCā€ version of that word (I get that from my British side of the family) but I decided to change it last minute to twat which is my PG version, I didnt want to use the other because I know how much women in America hate that word :slight_smile:

I’m reminded of a time I put a drop of French Vanilla flavoring into my coffee at work (just to try it) and a co-worker told me to ā€œnever put that poisonā€ in her coffee. I tried to explain that it was food flavoring and she just wouldn’t hear it. Lucky I never lectured her on the processed food she eats every day at lunch…

Right!!! Little does she know that’s how all her candy is made and yeah…the processed food thing for sure! Shit even something as simple as boxed pasta is bad for you, not to mention the insane amount of grams of sugar!

But don’t you dare come at me with that drop of poison! haha too funny

I’m sorry you had to go through that. I hope you mend soon. I also have back problems and it’s no joke. Yes it’s terrible what people choose to believe. Someone said in a prior post only time will change people’s minds about vaping because the damage has already been done. Good news about vaping isn’t dramatic enough to make the headlines… but any negative misguided reports earns a lead story. So that’s all the GP ever see. If it’s shown over and over people believe it’s fact. Just keep vaping and converting smokers and the numbers in the end will tell the true story about the benefits of vaping.

"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.ā€

Sorry to hear about ypur lung. Spontaneous pneumothorax do happen to tall skinny guys more frequently followed by heavy Cigarette and Dab smokers. But vaping ? I don’t see the connection? Typically it can happen when someone coughs very forcefully and we are inhaling some irritants but idk if I wana believe that it was solely this.

Has more to do with the spontaneous turn you did and your body build.

It’s sux about the job though. I hate knowing you gotta defend yourself and your choice to continue to vape but that’s what I’d do. I know they care and some don’t just wana hate on vaping but dang it I wouldn’t change unless you want to.

They can google spontaneous pneumothorax and find all the evidence they want but they won’t. They will continue to be ignorant Bc they choose to not believe anything new.

And for the dab smokers I’m not trying to hate at all it’s just more prominent case with dab and cigarette smokers.

Rest up and I pray you’ll better soon.

Here’s a little story you can tell your buddy at work the next time they sit down and eat their food.


title is rediculously stupid but I guess they’re doing the scare factor.

I’m curious about something along these lines. I hit my vape way stronger than I hit my cig. Is that a health benefit. Is that not an isometric exercise for breathing and lung strength and capacity. Am I looking at this right?

I was kinda wondering this when they gave me a breathing treatment and I had to vape away on their vapor/oxygen machine…I wanted to ask if I could switch it out for 1 of my juices :wink:
But I don’t have an answer for ya… @Amy2 would be the person to know this

It’s interesting. I see the headlines.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS TO OF VAPING

To of…sorry lol

Didn’t sleep, pretty stiff and have some serious sharp mid spine pain, so much so it makes me scream. This is all very confusing and strange! It’s like I got in a major motorcycle accident and broke my spine or something.
Thanks for asking man, really appreciate it!
If course Im heading in to work right now… glutton for punishment that I am

They won’t listen. I’ve been on medication for a bad thyroid for 22 years and it has steadily gotten worse, until I changed my eating habits. No white sugar or white flour, no chemical additives, just whole foods. My medication has gone down 60% and I’m constantly attacked by people around me, trying to push crap into my mouth. They see it as a personal affront when I say no and refuse to believe food has any influence on health. It is government approved and pollution is everywhere so it doesn’t matter what you eat. However, if you turn that around when they talk about vaping and say formaldehyde is everywhere… :rage: Cherry-picking!

[/quote]They did a test in Belgium with people who smoked. Tested their lung capacity and asked them to vape for two weeks and come back and be tested again. The people that stuck to vaping tested the same as nonsmokers. It has been on Belgium TV.
