Good links zapped. I vape in front of everyone. Used to smoke outside, and chew indoors. My air conditioners are going. If I want to get my serious chain vaporizing on, I hide in my room. 1. My heating pad is in there 2. The kids usually leave me be for a few minutes. I am not too worried about left over vapor. Mostly I go to my room for some peace and quietThis is patently false. The Op is stating his opinions as facts and doesnt know what he's talking about.
For this reason and MANY others I highly recommend new members acquaint themselves with CASAA.org

................
It is less harmful yes. (or maybe not you never know) but the fact that there IS still nicotines in exhaled vapor.................
i call that being selfish.
no offense though.
my point was not if it is being legal to vape front of kids.
main concern is that exhaled vapor contains massive amount of nicotine depending on what type of ejuice you are using. This could be fatal to young ones even pets.

I finally convinced my wife that vaping is less harsh compared to smoking actual cigarettes.
In fact, she does like the point that i dont smell bad anymore and can play with my kids without washing hands after smoke.
But I still dont feel comfortable vaping in the house when everyone walks around and especially when my 4yr old son is staring at me probably wondering "... is he doing with that light saber looking thing?"
And i have seen many people vaping in the car drving with kids on board.

I don't vape in front of children in my family - my two daughters and several nieces and nephews. My daughters are 2 1/2 and 4 months. The 4 month old doesn't really count in this as she has no clue.
When I was growing up, every single adult in my family smoked, except both of my grandmothers. I'm not blaming them for my smoking, after all I was the one who make the choice even though every one of them told me not to. But actions are so much louder than words.
My brothers are quite a bit younger than I am. The older one is 10 years younger. My father tried quitting a million times, but finally quit when my brother was about 4 and sitting around acting like he was smoking a pen. He sat down on the couch next to my father, pretended his Lego block was a lighter, sucked on a pen, and tilted his head up as he made a loud exhale. My father put his head down in shame and that was it.
Actions speak louder than words. A lot of people here have this notion that nicotine is some healthy wonder drug. I don't care what rationale they use. I'm vaping as a nicotine cessation method. Gradually dropping the nic concentration until I reach zero.
There's no guarantee my children and nieces and nephews won't smoke, vape or use any other means of nicotine. If they do, at least it won't be due to my influence. If they pick up the habit or start to, I'll be open and transparent about my nicotine use. Till then, I'll vape in the bathroom, porch and anywhere else where I'm out of sight. No way they'll do what my brother did and be able to say "I saw dad/uncle JR doing it."
Edit: I find it interesting that my 3 cousins and I who are within 3 years of each other all smoked/smoked at one point, yet my brothers and cousins who are significantly younger than us never smoked. Everyone (except one uncle) quit smoking before or right around the time they were born. Sure there's other influences out there, but there's no influence like your family. Maybe it's purely coincidental that it worked out that way, but I doubt it.
This is just plain BS, as you well know. You have an agenda and not a positive one, either.
I think he's still upset about getting his kayfun stuck to a mod. Still needs to blow off steam.

I learned from watching you Dad!
I haven't gone back and searched the OP's prior posts, but if he has a habit of "hit and run" misinformation/FUD posts like this one and not returning to defend them with verifiable facts, then I'd have to say he does indeed have an agenda. Classic anti-<whatever> tactic....post a lie, hope that at least a few people read it without reading the ensuing posts calling them out...mission accomplished - the seed of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) has been planted....but neither of us would ever accuse the other of outright lying, spreading fear or having an agenda......unlike the OP.

I'm still waiting for the OP to post something which verifies his claims. I have a feeling I'd better not hold my breath while I wait...
...I can't stand the "protect the children" mentality. I said it in the last thread of this tone and it's the same with this one. I see what it's about and I think of the song "Dyers Eve" by Metallica. If you haven't heard it, the meaning is basically an overprotected child being thrust into a world they are not prepared for...
I am right there with you. I was overexposed to .... as a child and as a result, I avoid it like the plague. In fact I believe it is a plague.
I had a friend who was sheltered his whole life and now I can't look at him without shedding a few man tears because he's fallen so far and become an absolute wreck.
P.S. I love the Aleister Crowley quote in your sig. At least you didn't go with "Do what thou wilt..." like most people do. He said much better stuff than that and it's somehow the only quote that even practicing occultists know half the time...
I saw the effects of .... in a localized area of the country before it became common nationwide. Not a pretty sight.
I actually don't like Crowley and that fact, to me, makes that quote all the more impressive. I considered adding something to the sig to point out that in his time the word prejudice hadn't yet been hijacked by race concerns but decided not to because it still applies to those concerns.
