On a recent episode of Conan, the host associated the attributes of a marijuana user with that of a vaper—but as all vapers know, this is far from the truth. The segment itself was a spoof on the naming of vape shops, which made this statement or joke even more untrue, due to majority of vape shops steering away from anything that tends to be synonymous with marijuana use.
This public fallacy that was made by the talk show host, could not have come at a worse time; especially considering the vaping community’s current struggles with public perception and legislation.
Sadly, Conan is not the only individual who looks at vaping as a portal for drug use, we also have a personal experience which we shared in our article: “Vaping in public: Why do people assume the worst?“.
This misconception seems to be only made by older individuals who are uneducated in the area, and as we stressed many times, vapers need to take the initiative in actively educating those around them. This use of direct education seems to be the best method in preventing any further mix up; and moreover, it can be taken as a passage to abolish the existence of the cigarette all together.
