    Let's Play Double Jeopardy

    There. Fixed it for you... :(

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    That still does not make it clear for me, why exactly do you not support the idea of restaurant owners being able to freely choose what kind of businesses they run. That freedom should be given to owners of "adult type" businesses only, if I understood well - like bars and pubs. To support you...

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    Ohhhhh, the "chiiiiildrun"...! I was hoping you would mention that. So, let me ask you: Why would non-smoking parents go to a smoke-friendly restaurant in the first place? On top of that, with their kids trailing behind? Just to annoy smokers about their "filthy addiction"? ** Why would...

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    How would you like to be "perceived" as an irresponsible drunkard who drinks a dozen NA-beers and then gets behind the wheel? "Oh, but I am NOT drinking...!" Well, by the same logic, "Yes you are, you irresponsible fool! Because THAT looks just like regular beer! I'm calling the cops on you !!"

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    C'mon... really ?? Back to the smoking ban in Portugal, in venues less than 100 square meters, where the owner had to choose between smoking, or non-smoking, because separation was not possible: - Before the ban, smoking was usually allowed - After the ban, some owners chose non-smoking -...

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    Might as I try, I still cannot see why it should be a free market for bars and pubs, and NOT for restaurants. Thing is, a vegan restaurant is just as "family, all ages" business as a stake house (And it is NOT a "public" venue. Just like a bar, it's a *privately* owned business with public...

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    My point exactly. If owners feel the need to *go around* a ban imposed on them, it's because business is suffering. Some of them just decide to bite the bullet and pay the fines to keep the doors open. I had an exchange of words recently with a rabid anti-smoker over this same issue on the...

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    Well, it was the opposite here in Portugal when non-smoking laws were passed. Venues with more than 100 square meters *can* have a separate smoking area. The owner is not *required* to have one. And if you do want to have a separate smoking area, you must spend some money in air...

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    So... a bar owner should be free to choose his own business model as he sees fit, but NOT a restaurant owner? "But I don't vape while I'm eating, and I don't want to be surrounded in clouds while I'm eating" A simple "vaping allowed" sign at the door would solve that problem. Do not like...

    Are you for or against being able to vape indoors in public places?

    I've read that in England, it was quite the opposite. Non-smokers managed to kick smokers out of pubs. Smokers, being forced to smoke in the cold, stopped going to pubs. And after that, non-smokers hardly showed their faces in pubs to support those businesses - now that they had them "their...

    Why so little love for side by sides?

    When I first bought a Gizmo, I did not like it very much at first. It was strange to have that button on the top rather than on the side. A few hours later, I was already loving it. It was smaller, stealthier, and most of all, did not have a tendency of falling off my shirt pocket. :) The...

    Should Children be Allowed to Buy e-Liquids that contain Nicotine?

    Please, please, let's not mix up "smoking is bad", with "Nicotine is bad". That's the tactic lately used by ANTZ's against our devices. Have you considered how swiftly they moved the goalposts lately? First, it was "SMOKE is bad". When confronted with the simple fact that there's no smoke in...

    Should Children be Allowed to Buy e-Liquids that contain Nicotine?

    It is only a "poison", in the right amount of dosage - just like everything else. Caffeine is also a "poison" in the right circunstances. But people do not think twice before having a cup of coffe. The potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, etc, etc... that you eat regularly, all have the "poisonous"...

    Someone just literally bombed ADV about an hour ago

    This. Maybe someone really believed he was doing the "Lord's work" by planting that device. The "childrun" must be saved, whatever it takes. :facepalm:

    No Vaping in Vape Shops

    This !!! :thumbs: I remember reading an article in some blog (Dr Siegel's, maybe?) where the real dangers of this wrong perception was adressed. Some lady was considered as very anti-tobacco by her co-workers. No-one ever saw her smoking, and she would always warn smokers about the dangers of...

    oh B&M shops...

    I'm well aware of that. That's why in my *hipothetical* example, I stated, "The *nurse* who is welcoming you". Not the receptionist. :) This. When you have no clue, admitting it is always an option. Usually, the best one. :)

    oh B&M shops...

    Ok. We will have to agree that we disagree then. :) One thing is not being a full expert in your line of business. OK, I get that. Another thing is to get it all wrong and not even having a clue. Fortunately the OP knew what he was doing. But suppose he was a noob asking that person "By all...

    Do any of you plan to quit?

    Sorry, but I must disagree. Imagine a long-term heavy drinker, well aware of how alchool could be ruining his health over the years, but still unable to quit. He simply loved his beers too much. And all of a sudden, that person tries NA-beer, and discovers that it *could* replace regular beer...

    No Vaping in Vape Shops

    Unless they caught someone SMOKING inside a vape shop, that shop should NEVER be considered as failing a SMOKE-free compliance :facepalm: "Oh, but bureucrats deemed e-cigs as SMOKING products..." Well. I does not make it any more true. I mean, a greedy Govt, with an high excise tax on...

    oh B&M shops...

    That's a moot point. You sell beer in filled bottles, already tested for food safety at the manufacturer, so not much "health" concerns here. Of course, being learned about what you sell is going to make you look more professional. You could then advise a costumer about different types of beer...
