Its a touchy subject obviously. some of us vape in the open and some of us do not. In my home town I vape in line at the supermarket, I vape in my car, I vape walking around home depot, I walk around walmart
vaping... But more recently I haven't been doing this because I am starting to understand that while its cool to be able to vape wherever I want and not bother others with smoke, and NOT be breaking any smoking bans TECHNICALLY.... I MAY be causing a lot of trouble behind the scenes. People could be running around talking to managers for all I know. People could be ratting on me only to find out I am
vaping. People could think its an illicit substance. It might be OK to vape because I'm technically not smoking but I am causing a lot of people to wonder what I am doing.. I am making smokers jealous, and I am perhaps even making non-smokers that dislike smokers for their air pollution angry. I am worrying mothers with their children if I accidentally blow out a plume around a corner to find a child or a mother with her baby carriage.. So I am beginning to stop
vaping.
I am still going to take a stealth vape here, or a stealth vape here, but I want to be more conscious of who can see me and more conscious of my surroundings than others are. I want to ensure that I will not cause any trouble. Thats what a true gentleman should always be doing and trying to execute anyway. Try to be as gracious as you would like others to be around you. Will I still vape in a supermarket? Probably. But I will do it quickly, 2-3 quick drags in a completely empty isle.
With all of that said... I DO want vaping to be SEEN. I DO want vaping to gain in popularity and I want people to see it and wonder what I am doing. I want vaping to be accepted. I want to be able to do it in an empty isle in the supermarket without having the security officer watching the camera come down and bag me. So I DO want vaping to become OK... and Widely KNOWN as OK! But I will be seen by those that I WANT to see me. SMOKERS. I will vape OUTSIDE of the supermarket openly. Around ash treys outside the mall! Anywhere that smokers are allowed to smoke, I will vape in hopes of a smoker asking me what it is I am doing.
But I am definitely not going to be vaping INDOORS around people that can see me as much as I used to. Its been a slow realization to get to that point, but I am getting there. I am understanding that its not a great idea to vape in line at the supermarket
