I e-smoked at my daughter's High School Graduation

I puff on my REC at work all the time. It's awesome. Think of the increase in productivity if they supplied all the real smokers with these. Would be huge.
I've puffed is stores, the movies, whereever i want. I dare them to call the cops on me... The pie'd be on their face. Smoking in public places etc is not legal here. Which is good. Can't even drive in your car with minors and smoke. Also good. I say that I could puff in a church full of kiddies and there's nothing they can do

They'd try.. but fail.

Actually, there is no law permitting e-smoking. If you're on private property, you do as the owner demands, not as you desire. Numerous restaurants and bars are prohibiting e-smoking. You will NOT have a choice in those places. Defiance is not the answer. Explain your device, if necessary, but always comply with a private place's rules. There is no RIGHT to e-smoke. Don't forget that in your zealous pursuit of legal nicotine.

BTW: I fully agree on productivity increases if business owners would let smokers e-smoke at their stations or in their offices. I'd even suggest a business purchase e-cigs and USB cords for smokers. A financial gain in productive time would soon follow. The presumed health benefits of e-smoking could lower insurance costs in the long run.

I did come off a little like a zealot didn't I. No I'm not a Yank lol. I just go about my puffing business and if confronted I let them know what it is and that it's not covered by the anti smoking laws. My REC doesn't look like a real cigar being black with gold toned writing on it.

Most places I've e-smoked, and been seen doing it, I've been met with questions and plenty of smiles when I show the e-cigarette and how it works. I've never confronted anyone and attempted to assert smoking rights, so all has been well. I have used the e-cig in a bookstore, grocery store, etc., without incident. And the less it looks like a cigarette, the better! I would never whip out the mini and flash it around in a "no smoking" area. I use my pen style and it looks to most people like I'm sucking on the end of a ballpoint pen. That's fine by me.

I think that is why I favor the penstyle. Everyone assumes I am sucking on a ballpoint. I don't know how many times I have been asked to "borrow my pen" and I have to explain to them what it is.
