I agree with peterforpats and the others who think you should keep vaping to yourelf. I think of it like this. I wouldn't want a guy using Nicorette to come chomp it right in my face or someone using the patch to walk up to me and point at his patch and yell "HEY LOOK AT ME, I'M NOT SMOKING. I'M USING THIS PATCH. THE ONE RIGHT HERE. DO YOU SEE IT. AREN"T YOU PROUD OF ME?" This is what I equate people walking around vaping in groceries stores and Starbucks to. I think it makes you look like nicotine "junkies" and worst of all, pompous asses. My

I don't see the correlation. And no need for name calling. This is a family forum and we don't need kids thinking it is OK to be hurtful.
that's the funny thing about "your" freedom-it usually involves taking it away from someone else...
I'm headed to Starbux tomorrow to protest this tomfoolery!
I'll block the door with my blackwood stave-mod while vaping up massive clouds and shouting "you shall not pass!"
That'll teach 'em!
Chillax folks, to each his own. Just vape and don't be a d&$k about it, ain't hard.

And people standing around in Starbucks drinking over-priced coffee demanding that others don't engage in harmless, lawful behavior that visually offends them aren't pompous ... caffiene junkies? Got it.
Being anti-AIPAC is not being anti-semitic. It is just being smart. Being anti-semitic is something completely different. But much love all, I was just saying why I avoid Starbucks all together.
Anyways, I vape when it seems appropriate, I have been out places recently and have asked the bartender/server if it would be cool to vape and they have said that a) they have one and love it but it freaks people out so no , or b) no we don't allow it cause it makes people uncomfortable. So I just step outside. Done deal. Stay chill people. One love.

no, you don't "got it". people standing in starbucks drinking over-priced coffee are called customers. why don't you trot off to some vape lounge and when someone comes and starts to smoke a cigarette you can tell them this is for vaping only. then they can tell you that they have every right to engage in a legal activity and who are you to try and stop them. starbucks doesn't want you to vape then be an adult and don't vape. or just not go there. or you hold off not vaping long enough to get your coffee. or you can talk to the company and try and get them to understand what vaping is and why it should be allowed. but they have a right to tell you not to vape in their stores-unless , of course , the whole world needs to let you do whatever you want to do when you want to do it.
Ok I get it. You're saying I should go to my local starbucks and vape my provari while pulling a pooh bear right?
Are you for real? I have NEVER seen someone be "in your face" about vaping in public. Yet you equate it with blowing vapor in someone's face and screaming look at me. I am sick of people who portray public vaping as some some abusive, aggressive, anti-social behavior. I have vaped at work, in the ER (as a patient) and in public venues with no problem. I don't know why you think we are all running around making spectacles of ourselves.
I have seen many posts here about vaping in public, and often the stereotype is taken to the extreme when it is simply not the case.

I THINK what he is trying I say is that we need to open a vaping lounge with a Starbucks inside?
No no no... I get it. He is saying that we need to allow smokers in Starbucks because customers don't like hot dogs.
Yep. Now I get it.

Yeah, I don't get it. What I find amusing, though, is the very same folks complaining about Starbucks' policies also say Starbucks sells overpriced, poor-tasting coffee. Why, then, would they care if they can't get their nic fix at Starbucks? Apparently they don't like Starbucks anyway.
In the end, I'm pretty sure every public establishment will ban vaping, save for bars. In-your-face vapers are simply accelerating the inevitable.
How many in-your-face vapers have you seen/encountered in public?
None, but read through some posts and you will find plenty on this forum.
so vaping in places that don't allow it isn't making a "spectacle"? if it isn't an egocentric display of "i'll do what I want when I want" then what is it? you have the freedom to make love to your wife. you don't have the right to do it in burger king. you have the freedom to own a gun and shoot it. you don't have the right to do it in a crowded theater. if a private business doesn't want you to vape in their business why do you feel you have to do it anyway? don't you respect their rights? maybe it should just be about you. now I get it!
Oddly enough, many of these types seem to be from California, where something else is somewhat legal. Is there a connection? Seems some cities in California have made the connection, lumping pv supplies together with 'other' supplies.
