I think I might be the bad guy with some of these comments but they're are my opinion.
I hear all these stories of new vapers (and old) pushing the social limits of using PV's in public. It can be rather annoying considering we are trying to gain public support for their use and the situation is a bit precarious. My general rule of thumb is: If I couldn't smoke in this situation (socially) then I'm not going to vape (blatantly that is). Restaurants, hospitals, supermarkets, grocery stores, theaters, church, etc are all examples of where you would not smoke normally. I stealth vape places, but I don't openly use my PV in these places where it has the potential of creating a scene.
I think many people are looking for that confrontational moment where they can be confronted for smoking then tell the person confronting them, "but it's not a cigarette". This has very little to do with the fact that you are pushing something they aren't comfortable into their space. Even though PV's are better and there is no second hand smoke- some people just don't like it.
Please respect your surroundings and the people in it. Don't vape for a confrontation or for shock value either.
