Wife's friend is constantly posting Anti Vaping BS on Facebook

[RobbieR]

I am just posting this to vent & you guys & gals are probably the only people that will understand my frustration!

So I log onto Facebook last night and what is at the top of my news feed? This link that my Wifes friend posted on Facebook http://diyzone.tips/e-cigarettes-fo...sing-ingredients-than-regular-cigarettes.html Its a BULLSHIT article that says "E-Cigarettes have 10 Times the carcinogens than regular cigarettes". Normally I just ignore this sort of ignorance, but the thing is my Wife is constantly hearing and reading this Anti Vaping crap from her. The best part is my Wife's friend is a 25 year smoker that has tried every quit smoking aid without success, EXCEPT VAPING. She is on a one woman crusade to save all of us Vapers from ourselves while she smokes a pack of cigarettes a day. My wife is thrilled and proud that I have kicked my 25 year cigarette habit and started vaping, but is now second guessing its health benefits over smoking cigarettes thanks to the Anti Vaping Crusader & Its really starting to piss me off.

Do we need to hire someone? I know and work with people like that. You can't change their minds. As much as you feel it's good, they feel the opposite. Also smokers.

 

[Teresa P]

Every time she posts her anti-vaping bullshit, you simply reply with evidence to the contrary. Nothing like a heartfelt, scientifically proven rebuttal.

JHC Facebook drama, so glad I don't hang on there, this is a great example of why...........

 

[Teresa P]

Only real reason I even keep my FB account is to converse with my daughter and a few friends in England. They're censoring so much content on there now, people couldn't see the truth about anything through the drama and lies. But I have set a few a-holes straight on there about vaping. A couple didn't like it, but I'm not here to blow sunshine up anyone's butt. The truth will stand when the world's on fire.

 

[Whiskey]

Got that right Teresa

 

[f1r3b1rd]

I think your wife needs new friends

 

[Mattp169]

POST PICTURES ON HER TIME LINE OF BLACK LUNGS
THE MORE DISGUSTING THE BETTER

 

[BigNasty]

Antivaping whorebags are just as venom filled as the anti gunners.
Fuck the antz, cut that cunt out of your wife and your life you will be happier.


OH and tell her she smells worse than a dead sun baked whore post necrophiliac gang bang that has been dropped down a construction site shitter.
If she comes over boot her stank ass on the porch do not allow her inside, have to carpool.. NOOOOPE offer her the strap down of roof or hood.

 

[Hank F. Spankman]

Why not do your wifey a solid and unfriend her for her? lol

 

[BigNasty]

Honestly my mom has cancer, she made life choices with stopping smoking and watching her diet.
130lbs lost... her friend of 45 years called her out of the blue who chain smoked and invited mom to go chill with her.
The vaping vs. smoking thing came up and her friend freaked out on her and mom told her to grow the fuck up.

That was 2 years ago and mom is happier telling a "friend" to go fuck themselves.

 

[Whiskey]

I like her already

 

[RobbieR]

Every time she posts her anti-vaping bullshit, you simply reply with evidence to the contrary. Nothing like a heartfelt, scientifically proven rebuttal.

I did that the first few times it happened, but it fell on deaf ears. I swear she posts this shit just to get get a reaction out of me and her other friends that vape, so I just ignore it now. (other than venting in this thread ) This might sound weird but I think she is threatened by vaping. Its almost like vaping is threatening her cigarette smoking so she goes out of her way to tell people how bad it is for you.

 

[RobbieR]

That might be a bit too much maybe I should leave out the construction site shitter part

 

[BigNasty]

Or go up to her and just simply say.."you fucking stink!"

 

[Markw4mms]

That's what the unfriend button is for, my friend. If nothing else, you can choose to hide content posted by her.

 

[RobbieR]

I clicked the "Hide Content" option last night

The funny thing is I have always got along well with her so I don't want to make an issue over something so petty.

 

[CoffeeFuel]

Or....post articles relating to the positive research that has gone into vaping, and get the conversation started.

I think it's an early sign of menopause. Probably being a single too.

 

[UncleRJ]

IMHO, FB is pretty damn useless.

Actually thinking of deleting my own account.

Being an "Old Fart" I actually call or email my friends.

And who actually cares other than my digestive system what I had to eat this morning?

 

[RobbieR]

JHC Facebook drama, so glad I don't hang on there, this is a great example of why...........

Its more about the spreading of ignorant misinformation about vaping that pisses me off. Facebook just happens to be the medium.

 

[Whiskey]

That is why I choose not to be part of that audience

 

[BigNasty]

Forgot the toxoplasmosis from huffing cat shit.

Without seeing to much into it.. single post 40 dumpy and a billion cats. I can smell it from here.

 

[wally]

I had someone like that did this on face book I simply found everything I could find that I could post and posted it on there posting. After while it backfired on them so they stopped posting disinformation. I kind of made a game out of it. I had more ammunition than they did lol.

 

[ej1024]

Dude unfollow them


VAPE ON

Reminds me of that song they did in South Park "...she's a bitch...".

Personally I wouldn't find it petty, not agreeing with someone life choices is one thing. Trying to passively aggressive get them to change those life choices is another entirely.
I'm not saying to start shit, I'm saying the delete or unfriend option.
Then again I don't have Facedbooked.

 

[wally]

All attempts to change her "mind" will be futile.
She's a Wackadoodle.
Her mind is made up and will not be clouded with facts.

A Wackadoodle lol.

 

[RobbieR]

I'm not saying to start shit, I'm saying the delete or unfriend option.

Unfriending someone on FB is starting shit

Like I said before, vaping is threatening her passion for smoking so she knocks it. A few months ago when she tried to quite smoking for the 100th time I offered to give her my Kanger Emow Starter kit to try. She politely declined and said she was using the patch. Needless to say she is still smoking cigarettes.

 

[fq06]

Went to see a move and have dinner with my wife and one of her girlfriends that smokes. After the movie we had a vape and she had a smoke.

She said factually that vaping is more harmful than smoking.

I replied that smoking is known to kill, that has not been proven for vaping yet. There are just as many studies that prove vaping is harmful as there are saying is it not or at least much less, so chose which one you want to believe.

I am not going to change her mind and her health is not my concern so she can do what she wants.
Could I have stated many non tobacco funded studies including the UK governments own findings? Sure, but I wanted to enjoy my vape... and with how convinced she was from whatever she read or was told or saw on Fox news, it would not get through her thick head so I didn't

 

[wally]

While back I was in hospital for operation a doctor walked in noticed the e cig sitting on the food table. He said we need to talk about those and I replied even faster ok it was the only thing that got me off smoking and i tried it all but I warn you I'm very well informed and you will lose lol, his eyes got kind of big he never did come back with any remark.

 

[fq06]

1st sentence from that link in the OP...

New research has found electronic cigarettes to contain even 10 times more cancer causing ingredients than the tobacco products they are supposed to save us from.

Those fucktards can't even put a good sentence together. Drop even, that's a little better.

 

[FlavoVape]

JHC Facebook drama, so glad I don't hang on there, this is a great example of why...........

My thoughts exactly. And about the scientific rebuttal most of the time folks that post stuff publicly on Facebook don't want to hear any other opinions. Yet they put it out there for everyone to see. Facebook is just a lot of drama and that's why I choose not to use it. As far as this study goes it looks like a bunch of BS until specific sources are cited I call BS on this whole article.

I had a bipass done last march and there were complications which turned the 2hr routing surgery into a 6 hour ordeal. When I woke up in ICU, my sister put my mod under my pillow.
The icu nurse made sure she gave it to me and let me vape on it when the morphine wore off.

[f1r3b1rd]

You guys just don't understand her. She's prolly really nice deep down but just needs to get laid.
I'm afraid the only way to fix this is for one o' you FB dudes to go in & sex her down.

Time to take one for the team. We'll getcha' a banner here.

I nominate f1r3b1rd.

There... climb out from under that bus.

Huh?

 

[fq06]

Maybe he just thought you were a team player

 

[f1r3b1rd]

that would be a negative, I killed facebook after I did my share

 

[FlavoVape]

You should invite her to join the VU. Here she will get an education. Otherwise she should STFU....lol

GRENADE!!!
Not one that the less than picky friend would not even take on for the team.

Dude, I have skeletons in my closet and have taken that walk of shame on a few mornings in college.

I've learned my lessons, it's time to let a young one pay their dues.

If you un-friend this person, then only your Wife will see her posts. Don't un-friend this person, because you need to see the bullshit she is feeding your Wife. The only thing you can do is calmly educate your Wife so she eventually sees what a mouthy ignorant fool this person is.

There are tons of links to scientific studies done to refute bogus articles like that. Like this article. or this article. Let your Wife be in control. Maybe slip her an article or two about the propaganda some states put out in fear vaping is destroying it's tobacco tax revenue.

How bout an article where States are ignoring the fact that vaping can save billions in Medicare & Medicaid costs, because they sold out and issued bonds against future tobacco tax revenue.

I've gone my whole life without having a facebook. There was a little era when people would have the reaction of "OMG, how do you not have a facebook?" Nowadays, when I tell people that, they always say they wish they didn't have to have one. Never understood what they meant by that. Think I'm starting to.

I'd say Robert B has the right idea, though I think you should forget what the other person is saying. You're not there to counter her arguments. That's already giving her too much credit. An uninformed opinion is made obvious by clear information.

Besides, she's just a friend of your wife. You are more than that. You are inherently better equipped to talk to her and inform her opinions on vaping. I take it you know how to get a point across well enough without shoving things in her face. You have the ability to provide her with the means to learn more and ask questions. After that, all you can do is let your wife draw her own conclusions.

And from there, hopefully your wife can take care of the rest with her newfound understanding of the other side of the argument. Maybe after that, that naggy, self-righteous friend of the wife will realize that nobody wants to hear what she has to say anymore...

...or maybe she won't care and you can both happily ignore her rants together.

Just reply to her with this http://www.ecigarette-research.com/web/index.php/2013-04-07-09-50-07/2014/188-frm-jp and tell her if she has any questions or doesn't understand what she is reading she can contact you and you can help educate her on actual research.

 

[MrGrimR]

I couldn't edit my post for some reason, but here is the follow up to that article. http://www.ecigarette-research.com/web/index.php/2013-04-07-09-50-07/2015/192-form-ver Also be sure to tell your wife's friend that the conditions associated with these "dry puff conditions" would be similar to her lighting a cigarette filter first.
