There was a news story here about ecigs where this woman said they were looking into banning them on buses, etc "because the bus driver wouldn't know what they were doing back there"! WTH, my comment on the story was that Coke cans should be banned as well because many people add rum. We wouldn't "know" what's in their can! Guess it's kinda like hearding cats and it sure would be easier if we were more like lil robots, without thoughts, opinions and mouths(fingers)!
Actually, it's a heck of a lot easier to know if someone is smoking versus vaping than it is to know if there is rum in the Coke.
If someone is smoking you can smell it. If you can't smell smoke, nobody is smoking.
Thats it, thats my new mech. I'm going to make a mod that looks like an inhaler, that way I can vape in Starbucks. No one will be able to tell me not to. It will look like I'll die without it. Great idea.
I love this thread, hardly anybody know who is antagonizing and who is really annoyed. Truely entertaining.
My take on all this is that any company that rents or leases a portion of a building only can control the inside of that building and not the public area outside. If they have an area outside for their business, then yes, they can regulate that area as well.
No company that doesn't own the parking lot can tell you or me that we can't so something out there.
I worked for an medical insurance company. they told us that we can not smoke or vape on their property. So we all went out to the sidewalk and smoked/vaped. They didn't like that and tried to stop us from being on the sidwalk and told us we had to go across the street.
I, very nicely, explained that the public sidewalks were just that. Public. And they could not dictate to me what I did on public property. I am obeying the company rules and am not on their property. They finally backed off.
Basically I think we as vapors can do pretty much what we want to. We are not smoking cigarettes, we are using water vapor. Companies that ban electronic cigarettes are just ignorant and don't know any better.
I live in Henderson, Nevada, and I vape everywhere. No one has ever told me I can't do that. I have respect for people and the places that I am at, but if there isn't a sign that says "No Electronic Cigarettes", then I vape.
lol just my 2 cents......
And peterforpats, relax and have a smoke....err.... vape. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I respect yours, but you seem to be trying to force it on us. Relax
It's all good !!!

Not that it should ever happen, but it would be interesting to see how the lawsuit would have turned out for the person who was hit by a car crossing the street to smoke. You probably did the company a huge favor, even though they may not feel that way because they failed to consider different scenarios.
Using water vapor? You might want to research that before you quote it to people.
I think my point was clear. If not, let me explain.
We are not using water vapor. Clear enough?
Really? So you feel the need to start an argument and be rude??? What is up with you bud?
Wasn't being rude at all. I simply stated you might want to research your comment before you quoted it to people. You then asked what my point was, so I was explicit what my point was.
Not starting an argument but making sure you understood my point - which is exactly what you asked.
