Hi everyone! In my new video, I briefly summarize why the current situation of e-cigarettes in the Hungarian market is problematic. We compare the situation with the United Kingdom, and I also discuss why reasonable regulation would be a win-win for both us and the state. What is your opinion on this topic?
Currently, we hate scooter riders. Once that has been regulated, we’ll find someone else. The cigarette topic comes up every few years anyway, along with vaping. Society always needs a group to hate.
I worked in a tobacco shop and the Continental area representative was constantly badmouthing e-cigarettes… he explained that he completely agreed with the ban, etc. etc… so obviously this whole thing is no coincidence…
And did he even know what he was talking about?
Because many people have no idea. Even when the topic rarely comes up on news report shows, they often mix up apples and oranges.
He brought up typical arguments like fluid in the lungs, that there’s no experience behind it so we’ll see in 30 years how much it destroys the lungs, and nicotine overdose… I didn’t start an argument because I wasn’t in the mood, and he was also a close friend of the owner…
That is about as much of a sensation as the fact that tap water makes skin wet, or that sunlight provides heat though everyone knows that compared to healthy, clean air, everything has a minimal effect. It’s just that the scale and the spectrum of the damage matter hell of a lot.
As many have written, it’s ignorance. One day, a colleague of mine started talking to me about how e-cigarettes are really bad and why I’m vaping, blah blah. I tried to explain it to him, but he couldn’t understand. I just took myself off to go blow some clouds instead Somehow, these things get burned into people’s minds and you can’t even get them to think with rational arguments.
I’ve been at a workplace where they let me vape in the workshop! Because it was an enlightened team, and that’s not even the half of it… now I have to trudge hundreds of meters out into the scorching sun, that’s a different mindset. There are many degrees and offshoots of ignorance present everywhere. (And I say this while absolutely not considering myself ‘smart’).
Yes This is something you can really study when you have to work with people… I ended up in a customer service/sales role… well, yeah, there would be plenty to talk about. When my colleague told the same thing to a nice customer 8 times (yes, 8 times!!!), and then they asked the exact same thing for the 9th time. I’ll write a post on a similar topic on Vaperina, just like I did about panic attacks back then, only more actively
It’s impossible, the restroom is so spotless that even an MTK (vape cloud) would be felt and seen… and there are too many people compared to the number of toilets.
