So you are saying that two different people in two different places just came right up to you and your child and Blew Vapor in your Childs face? Just out of the blue, they walked up and bam, blew their Vapor? What am I missing here? Who does that?
It is disrespectful to blow any substance into anyones face, child or not. But don't generalize everyone with an e-cig because not everyone with one is running around blowing vapor in people's faces. Most of us are careful doing it.
Also,(I've had this happen) if you walk INTO the cloud of the vapor while one is exhaling, whose fault is it really?
It just sounds like you've encountered some undesirable people. Just tell them to stop, and walk away with your child.
Threatening legal action is laughable at best.....

Not to sound a bit of a Richard cranium but why are you letting your child get close to any stranger holding a metallic device in there hands... I'm a parent and strangers don't get within a inch of my 2 year old... Im very confused hear?
In that instance, I would agree to having the person reported to the authorities for abuse. As stated here already, most of us try to be considerate of others perceptions around us. This only hurts our goal and image, and I myself, though I shouldn't have to, sincerely apologize that this has happened to you and your child. Safe or not, I consider the fact are others in an enclosed environment allergic to any of the chemicals in the vapor I exhale, the fact this person didn't put another's safety over their own arrogance is absurd IMHO.
Everything falls into someone hands who's ignorant. People with guns, you see gangster, people who loose their minds or plain idiots with guns do stupid stuff all the time. But you don't group them together.
Also, Yes this is a ecig forum but what is ranting here, grouping us with idiots going to do? Nothing. If it happens again call the cops, plain in simple. Posting here isn't going to stop "New" vapors from vaping any where. It's the person and obviously an idiot. You can't control what other people do nor should you waste your time posting on a public forum who has NOTHING to do with your incident.

Although there is no shortage of idiots in this world, I also find it hard to believe that someone would intentionally do that, not to mention two different people on two different occasions.
The OP has every reason to be outraged.
Hopefully, some simple common sense will prevail when vaping in public. (Then again, there is no shortage of idiots in this world.....ohh!! I already said that!!?! Maybe worth stating twice...)

Well it was probably more just in her direction where her kids were aswell when he was blowing it. But people do allot worse things than that to others so really wouldn't surprise me if it happened.
Now before others post if somebody did something to your child and you posted about it would you want to see others saying troll or I don't believe it you must be making it up? It can happen so if you don't believe it don't post, if you want to be a troll and post troll on boards go to another forum.

Frankly... I don't believe you.
Edit: I only gave this thread the time it took to read halfway through.

Most "vapers" I know are as considerate now with their e-cigs as they were with tobacco cigarettes. Sadly, one bad apple can spoil the basket.
Chances are, ranting on a forum is the least effective place to take out your understandable grievances. Most of us are on here because we wish to educate ourselves and wouldn't do such a thing regardless of the safety aspect.
I am sorry to hear your story. If I saw such a thing, I expect I'd be as unhappy.
Walking down an aisle in a grocery store, there are people everywhere. I did think it was strange that these 3 people, 2 women and 1 man were just standing around at the end of the aisle. I did not put too much thought into it, it is a safe neighborhood and have never been threaten by anyone, so my wife, son, and I continued down the aisle with intent on going to the next aisle over, when I saw the female stare straight at me and then looks twords my son, then exhales twords my son. I moved my family past them and gave them some choice words. The started ranting about how it was not illegal for them to blow their ecig smoke at us. That it was harmless and why am I complaining.
Unless I see some information on what led up to someone doing this, (twice!) I will assume it's just trolling. Nobody would walk up to a child and do this out of the clear blue. If one was to have it happen once, why on earth would they put themself with their child in a similar encounter?
Just noticed this is your first post in this forum. Did you just join the forum to post this as a complaint? Again, I ask, are you a vaper? Have you done any research on ecigs? I would feel like you if someone came up to me or my children and just breathed (without smoke or vapor) in my children's face. I'm 65 and all my children are grown and have never run across anyone who breathed on my children's faces in grocery stores, or anywhere else for that matter.
If you do a search of this forum you will see that we DO discuss when and where we can vape appropriately.
etiquette? Teach?
Okay, that's why there is murder, break ins, thief, gangster people with no regard to human life? Since there human we should teach them etiquette and assume it's going to work?
Plain in simple. If it happens call the cops. Why waste your time here? Are you miserable? How about spend that time with your child instead of ranting about something that we can't control.

I would have to agree with you there, everything needs an etiquette. However, not every e-cig user is registered on these forums, so there are a few, clearly this encounter you have witnessed, that are not as mature and ignorant of true reality. However, there is a way we can possibly meet in the middle, as you stated, educate other users in proper decorum and etiquette when around non-smokers/non-vapers.
