This is great! So here we have closet vapers/not actual vapers name calling vapers and belittling their opinions with their opinions of "what" they were doing. 1) Why don't the closet/non vapers go back to their closet (I don't get why you would care what others are doing since no one knows you vape. Public vaping policy wouldn't apply to you anyway, right?) Where do you people hang out, because I want to see these "in your face, look at me,junkies"!
IMHO. Starbucks is entitled to make their policy as I am entitled to decide where my money is spent, period. I have vaped in public but never on a table or on a bar or demanding cameras. I ask if it's ok first, homeowner or management. Airport, told fine. At hospital, yep, they said ok. Now to be clear, I'm NOT saying that I then proceed to a group of people and start fogging them out! RESPECT MY RIGHTS AND I WILL RESPECT YOURS. Did someone actually say they don't want to talk to their kids about it? Whaaaat, with the many issues going on in our country right now, you are seriously concerned about explaining an ecig?, lol
P.S. When do I get to choose YOUR perfume and hair color, because I don't like either of em?

Some of us want vaping to be socially accepted. When someone with a mod the size of a flashlight glued to their mouth goes out in public, unable to put it down, vaping wherever they please, they don't help the cause. Most people probably just see them and unfortunately all vapers as junkies- because that's what they look like.

My main problem with people wanting us vapers to act like we still smoke and regulating us to the "smokers area" is, that I quit smoking to become healthier and because I have health problems that were exacerbated by smoking, so why should I go where the smokers are and have to inhale all the 2nd hand smoke? I quit smoking! I'll be da#@ if I'm going to sit around and inhale someone elses smoke!
Sorry if I was a little too blunt! I am usually a very calm person but this issue fires me up.
 
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.

It'll only work if you have a staff and can say it like Gandalf! :thumbs:

There are people that actually believe people should not vape where smoking is not allowed.
How do you logically support that position? Because you don't want to offend THEM? You don't want them to treat us like smokers?

You are already acting like smokers, so what the rest of us do should be of no concern to you.
It has to be one of the most illogical arguments I see on this forum.
