Come on now peeps.... we don't need the publicity, for now just abide.....
I have walked out on restaurants that allow vaping inside the dining area. Why? Because I don't want to smell someone's Ooey Gooey Tutti Frutti ejuice, or whatever their vaping, while I'm paying my money to have a meal. The vapor doesn't bother me, but I don't want to smell whatever is being vaped while I'm eating. Just common courtesy alone should be enough for a reasonable person to not infringe on others dining experience this way. It's self centered and rude. The bar or patio, as long as they're partitioned from the dining area, I don't care either way. But in the dining area respect for other diners should just be common courtesy. I fully support ALL restaurants being able to deny vaping on the premises if they wish. And the restaurants that don't allow vaping in the dining area are the ones that are most likely to get my business.
This doesn't bother me at all. Now that I'm vaping I can easily go without. Wasn't that way with cigarettes though.
what about clone or perfume or chewing gum i can smell many of those things in public.
Same here. I can go several hours without a vape. When I smoked analogs (about 2 1/2 packs a day) an hour at most and I'd be craving one.
On a side note: got a gift card once about 4 or 5 yrs ago for Chili's. The wife and I went there (in NH) and that was the 1st and last time we ever went. Food was ...... Nuff said!
Edit: Agree that if within 50 ft from their front door does not belong to Chili's and is not a town, county or state ordinance, then the statement of being fined is wrong. I won't ever go there regardless.

Look up the laws if it bothers you, and send them a letter. I personally do not care if a private business nixes vaping on their property, I think that should be up to business owners everywhere.
If they're nixing vaping where they have no jurisdiction, don't eat there. Let them know that you think their policy is stupid and you don't want to eat their food and possibly catch The Stupid. It's not a federal case IMO. lol

i was once on someones property and didn't like the rules. i was very vocal about it at times.
then my parents showed me the door. it wasn't long before i figured out the folks who pay the bills make the rules on their property.
if it were a place where i was a potential patron i'd weigh the pros and cons. do i want a tasty dinner and a couple shots or do i want to vape within 50 feet of the front door?
My kids never understood that rule either when living with us. Now they have their own houses with similar rules.i was once on someones property and didn't like the rules. i was very vocal about it at times.

I happen to live in Bradenton, FL There is no ordinance.
As a matter of fact several restaurants here have outside decks so that people can smoke analogs.
Olive Garden, Beef O Brady's, The little Scottish pub in Lakewood Ranch.... Just to name a few. (which all have better food!)
Chili's food is gross anyways. I have had several bad experiences at Chili's at different FL locations. The only good Chili's is the one in Key Largo.
from what i remember reading about e-cigs on here and the internet i think they are banned in Florida...
Do we Ever figure out if the Chilies Owns the Property 50 Feet from where the Sign was Posted?

PEEPS! Just choose the battle wisely... question.... how many posters in this thread signed the documet opposing the Washington tax???? I'm not usually a political person but do YOU feel your vape rights have been violated? Well then sign a petition or whatever it takes to make a real difference other than this.... sorry for being blunt....
I am unable to substantiate the OP's claim in this sign .. I believe it is doubtful that there is actually a sign like this in a Chillis in or around Bradenton, FL ..
