*[https://www.misthub.com/blogs/vape-tutorials/76787717-electronic-cigarette-101-jargon-and-terms-glossary Anti Nicotine and Tobacco Zealots] - This is a derogatory label applied to individuals and groups focused on eliminating alternatives to tobacco products such as e-cigarettes. | |||
*Comment from Skip, the creator of this wiki page. | |||
**Those of us who believe there is a place in the world for alternative nicotine products have faced years of stigmatization for our use of nicotine and our belief we have a right to use it. I encourage all of us to think twice about our own use of stigmatizing words, especially when directed at those we don't agree with. We must remember that we sometimes seem like "zealots" to them, too. Name-calling, disrespectful attitudes, and hurtful words will never open the dialogue between opposing viewpoints. Don't be a PANTZ (pro-alternative nicotine and tobacco zealot). #BeKind - millions of people are dying from smoking. It is one thing to be enthusiastic, it is another thing to be a rude troll. Show your mission's credibility by treating others with respect, even if they've come across rude first. #TeachByExample | |||
