Go back and find my posts in dis thread. Helps to read 'fore ya post...

Since I apparently can't read maybe you could consolidate all of your posts into your response to this post so I can find them easily. Or perhaps a more direct response would be appropriate, for those of us that read through most of the thread but wanted to offer an opinion on a specific post without rereading the entire thread. Or maybe I overlooked your post(s) that you are so nicely pointing out to me.

this was posted on a chilis door in bradenton FL. How can they try and pull this crap??

Private business. They can run it however they like.

Just don't go there.

To be honest, I've never even eaten at a Chilli's. Buncha processed food, but that's besides the point.

Find a restaurant that lets you vape. Maybe a small non chain one. Otherwise, stay home and cook or get take-out. ;)

I go outside like a smoker

Interestingly, last time I went outside a place to vape, I didn't HAVE to stand around with the smokers, inhaling their smelly smoke.

I stood in a little area behind them, with a group of other VAPERS. :) To be honest, I don't mind it, I enjoyed the comraderie of "fellow smokers" when I smoked, now I enjoy the same little circle now that I vape.

We had some good conversations (not about vaping, but about the play we went to watch).

No one has the right to inflict other people with residues from their habit, whatever that habit is. When I was a smoker I was pretty militant about losing my right to smoke cigarettes, until I actually quit and realized the awful stench that I was forcing non smokers to endure.

Those that insist on their "right" to vape indoors or around non vapers will accelerate laws and rules against all vapers, including tax issues. I wish people weren't so pushy.

My sister is the biggest anti-smoker you can imagine. She lets me vape at her kitchen table (and anywhere else in her house I happen to be), she also hands out more ecig business cards than I do. Studies show that we aren't "inflicting other people with residues".
Feel free to make an argument when you're not stealing it from the ANTZ.

LOL. That's great for you that sis lets you vape in the house. Maybe she could buy Chili's and set us all free.

As far as this ANTZ silliness, whats that foolishness about? Is it one of those US vs THEM things? If so here's some news for you>>> THEM will most certainly win that pissing contest. There are way more of THEM's than US's.
As far as studies go there is no long term hard science on the effect of vape clouds and health. Anecdotally, wasn't there a thread here recently with people complaining about vape RESIDUE on the inside of car windows?

Most people, including me, really have no desire to have clouds of cinnamon danish/blueberry whatever blown in their face.
A bit of respect for others personal space will go a lot further than all the cute acronyms and card carrying sisters in the world.

Of course THEM will win when they have people who are allegedly us supporting their idiotic claims that fly in the face of science. Thank you for that.

When the science says there's nothing to worry about in vapor there's no need to worry about long term. Thanks again for supporting ANTZ junk science.

They don't allow our anecdotal quit stories because it doesn't suit them. Thank you for supporting them using anecdotal residue stories.

Never saw any claims of blowing vapor in people's faces. More ANTZ extremism. Thank you for doing all you can to give THEM credibility.

I don't know what the law is in Florida but around here smoking inside a business or within 25ft of the entrance will het you fined. However vaping is at the discretion of the business owner, as smoking should be imo. It looks like the sign is aimed at smokers and vaping is an afterthought. The company is trying to cover their own ... since anyone not aware would loom at the exhaled vapor and assume your smoking. I highly doubt they would say anything if you were subtle about it.

i sent an email to Chili's about their smoking policy and this is what they replied to me.

March 15, 2014

Dear Mr. Marschel,

Thank you for contacting Chili’s through a social media channel. Each of our restaurants adheres to local city ordinances regarding smoking. Our smoking policy includes smoking of any substance. In restaurants where smoking is permitted, all smoking is restricted to designated smoking areas; in locations where no smoking is permitted, that includes smoking of electronic as well as tobacco cigarettes.

Should you have further questions, please feel free to contact our Public Relations Department at:


Brinker International
Attn: Public Relations
6820 LBJ Freeway
Dallas, TX 75240

We appreciate your interest in Chili’s.

Sincerely,
Chili's Guest Relations
Reference Number: 910872


so they consider no smoking to include e-cigs.

Jeeze Myk, can we Lighten Up a Tad?

Does Everyone who has a Different Opinion than yours Really Need to be Called an ANTZ?

LOL There you go again.

Repeat after me. THERE IS NO REAL DATA ON THE DANGERS OF E CIGS. NONE.

There is no regulation of what goes into juices. Hell, even nicotine base is made in China. Do you trust the Chinese to put the safety of consumers before profit? If you do, try a bit of recent history. 2008 Chinese milk scandal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I use e cigs, but I am not going to deny the reality that we are using products produced by a country with some of the worst industrial health and safety regs. in the world. Who knows what corners those guys cut.

We are using e cigs to get off of real cigs, which is great, but lets not try to fool ourselves and others that what we are doing is anything more than a crap shoot. No need to put non vapers in the same boat.
If supporting a ban on public close encounter vaping makes me an ANTZ then so be it, I'll buy the t-shirt. To do anything else is just being a narcissist.

Stop drinking the vaper kool-aid.
