You original post said that you "didn't want to deal with it". In THAT scenario, it is you who are inconveniencing yourself. Again, no one has a right to not be offended. That is what "PC" conjures to me--those who believe that they should never, never, EVER have to expose their brains to...
Discussion, perhaps. Policy, absolutely NOT. But the problem is, most think that the best way to "fix" a perceived "offense" is to bring in the guns of government--always achieving something close to the opposite of rationally desired consequences.
Stop with all of that non-FDA approved...
Anecdotal evidence=the same way that it was "proved" that second hand smoke "kills". They interviewed non-smokers who had developed lung cancer, and cherry-picked those who had some memory of being in a smoky environment. They didn't consider the SHS exposure of anyone who WASN'T suffering from...
From just north of the St. Louis Metro-I've had two "wild" vape sightings; one was a kid in a tacobell with a cig-alike, one was a fella my age with a Twist and a Redux in Wal-Mart (It was hanging from a lanyard, can't remember if I actually saw him toot on it).

When smokers ask me why I have so many PVs, I reply thusly:
If you had to drive 30 miles to get a pack of smokes, or wait three or four days for a lighter to come by mail, how many of each would...
If one is renting the space, it is THEIR space-subject to the agreement made with the owner. Being subject to A LAW that decides what the owner can or cannot allow (father raping and mother stabbing excluded, of course,) in the agreement is NOT the same as the owner telling the renter how loud...
Not at all equivalent: someone (the landlord) setting the terms of a mutually agreed to contract-vs-guys with guns telling the two parties to a contract what is in the contract.
ANY answer to the posts by Kristin or Elaine is deafening in it's absence. I greatly appreciate them and all of the DO-ers here and at CASAA. I am wholly UN-impressed by those who are oh-so willing to tell the DO-ers how they should do it.
