a few bad apples

I hate when that happens........converted a friend who felt & acted the same way, we don't go out much together anyore. What time shall I be ready for the next game??

 

As long as that is not directed towards me we are all good. Go blues.

 

rut ro.........

 

This is disappointing. Going to Blues/Rams/Cards games and not having to go outside to smoke is one of the things I was looking forward to now that I am vaping. I used snus in the past and guess I will just continue to do that. Sounds to me like your buddy deserves an Agent Gibbs head smack.

 

I'm afraid that a few years will either result in outlawing or legalization of vaping nationwide. Right now, it's looking like state by state, it's being included by name along with cigarettes in county and statewide bans. Every time a community passes a smoking ban with ecigs called out by name, we lose a little power.

I want to see medical nicotine products banned similarly if ecigs can't be used in public. The only trouble there is that nicotine inhalers obtained through medical sources don't make noticeable vapor. I stealth vape in public and blow it down across my shirt unless I'm outside. I vape 100% PG in public to limit the vapor. Those who blow smoke rings and create huge exhales are a problem. Conduct like that will get us kicked out of public places in short time. If it looks like a duck, it's probably a duck to those who hate cigarettes.

 

Our local sports arena has already banned vaping, they also do not allow in/out's in their venue. This makes it more difficult to get around so I keep my habit on the extreme down low and vape in the restrooms, but I agree use common sense and let's try to keep it from getting banned else where.

 

When I'm in public I try to vape a fruity flavor, so that if someone sees me blowing vapor, it smells so good they don't complain. I was at the bar recently and someone was saying something about me vaping, so I told them check out how it smells, and smelled the green apple ejuice I had, and they thought it was cool. Next thing I know I'm having a discussion with about 5 people about how ecigs helped me quit tobacco cigarettes. Now they want one forbade friend or family member to help them quit.

The reality is that the only bad apples to blame here are the ones that put the ban in place. Sooner or later someone would have caught on to what you were doing not matter how sneaky you might be. You cannot know whether the rule change was made in response to your friends. For all you know, someone saw you and the rule was being reviewed well before the incident you think caused it. It probably would have been asked about you too once you were noticed and you would have been. Sneaking does not make what we are doing any more or less acceptable.

 

Do what I do.Watch the games on TV,much cheaper and more convenient.

 

Pretty much every new smoking ban attempt that comes up these days initially includes electronic cigarettes.
And thanks to the efforts of CASAA and the rest of us vapers, electronic cigarettes have been purposely removed from almost all of them.

There are powerful and influential people who are purposely trying to stop electronic cigarette use.
They are using propaganda techniques and outright lies in order to get what they're after.

But we are using truth to educate those who will be voting, and it is working.
Vaping is being purposely REMOVED from far more smoking bans than it is being added to.

Having said that, vaping is banned in every sports venue I know of, and that is not the least bit surprising.
Blowing clouds of vapor in front of people who are trying to watch something is just simply not a cool thing to do.
