I had an interesting Conversation with a lady while at the gate in the Charlotte Airport. I was sitting in a far corner of the gate area alone, and discretely puffing on my E-Cig when a woman (30ish) sat down across from me.
She; Is that one of those smokless cigarettes?
Me; Yup.
She: Aren't they illegal in here.
Me; Nope. There is no tobacco, or smoke.
She: I see smoke.
Me: No, it's vapor from the Nicotine fluid.
She; They have Nicotine? So they're still dangerous!
Me: No, Nicotine has medical benifits. It's being used in the treatment & prevention of Alzheimer's, and Parkinsons disease.
She; Nicotine is addictive, and you still shouldn't be using it in here. Can't you people go a few hours without putting things like that in your mouth??
Me; Says the lady sucking down her Starbucks Caffiene Fix. How many cups do you drink a day?
She; This is different.
Me: How so?
She; Long pause, and then nothing.
End of conversation. She got up and moved.
