    A dose of the old vapours tongue oh woe is me

    My juice starts either tasting odd (like honey...I have no idea why...it's always a menthol) or loses its taste when I've been vaping too often. I find putting the stick down (if I can, LOL) for a longer period of time tends to get the flavor to kick back in a bit better. I think maybe sometimes...

    This. It's the same reason kids aren't supposed to chew gum, gnaw endlessly on their pencils, blow up balloons, whistle, etc. in class. It's a distraction - to the chewer/gnawer/whistler/balloon blower (that one was actually a joke) and to everyone else (ugh). My kids don't need to pacify their...

    Has anyone else been "chosen to be part of a new e-cig trial"

    Well, it got my gender right, but it would have been silly for it to guess "male" when my name is Melanie (and that's part of my Gmail account name) and when I have a pic. It got my age right, that was good. I Google a lot of herbal remedies and stuff, pretty much a dead giveaway that I'm in...

    do you use your right hand more or left hand more when vaping?

    I'm right-handed and I almost always vape with my left hand. It feels weird in my right. I also can't kick a ball with my right foot and I can't open bottles or jars with my right hand..

    Exactly the same rules in my school as the poster you're quoting; I graduated HS in 1985. I definitely feel it must have been a regional thing at least in part.

    Oh can I get a "hell yeah..." If vaping had been around for me in HS I'd have been in nic heaven. Soooooooooooo much easier to hide.

    I am NOT going to add to this-here convo, I already got blue hell for my assumed "political views" just for saying law is law, LOL. But...well. Hello. And that's all I'm sayin'!

    "Lives under a bridge," OMG, I will not laugh, I will not laugh, I will not laugh...Okay, too late. I too am originally from NJ...I got used to people being nice out here (neighbors, store workers, etc.) FAST...I went back to NJ and I still love it, it is still home but, true story, I was...

    It would've fully been my reason, personally, had vaping been around at the time. I was well and fully addicted at 15, to the tune of going to the girl's room to smoke quickly between every single class. I could physically feel every minute that it was killing me but I could not stop. I'd have...

    Agree. Who's "babying" him? Are we babying each other when we go on and on passionately about how we SHOULD be able to vape in hospitals, etc...other areas where the establishment has its own rules, just like a school? And all the sympathetic pile-ons and tears about how "they" are "all" just...

    Well, the original post definitely didn't sound like he "needed" to vape or was standing up to fight for his rights or anything else like that. He simply stated that the rule "confused" him.

    Erm. How on earth was "legal age is legal age" a "political" view? As for parenting views, how does one's parenting view override law? I didn't ask you to change the way you parent, where on earth does that come in? As for the third part, I have stated many times in this thread that I do NOT...

    Then if the OP is in Utah, Alaska, Alabama or NJ, I am wrong about him being a legal adult. He will be one in a year or less, in that case, but currently is not one. That, for the less informed, IS a reasonable, logical and fact-backed way to correct someone. :) Thank you for this info.

    Well, you would support it or not support it based on the environment he's asking about and other factors, but not age. You would support or not support it if he were 40 and asking the same question (there are many 40-year-olds in college). I disagree that anyone should be allowed to vape in...

    Hospital Smoking Ban

    So I'm still wondering...what would the authorities (not sure whom this would be - the establishment/hospital? The police?) do if they caught you vaping within those three blocks? Is there a charge for this? Do you owe a fine? Are you just asked to leave? What exactly happens?

    Whatever one's perception of being an "actual" adult is - and yes, what you're listing is just your perception - legally, he is an adult at 18 and legally, he can purchase and use nicotine at this age. That's an aside, obviously school rules are school rules and I'm 100% for nic restriction in...

    Started smoking again :(

    Sweetie, you know what? You have another chance. And that's something to be grateful for. And yes, this is good advice and a good lesson to the rest of us stepping down. So thank you for sharing it.

    We used to do the same thing, although it was technically not allowed. The bathrooms always seriously reeked even with those giant windows open full-time. If the door opened and it was a teacher, and you had a .... in your hand, you were in trouble. Perhaps to an extent some of this is/was...
