When my cat was bugging me, I would deliberately pick up my smokes pack and she would scatter fast. Worked every time and what I used to be cat-free while I worked at the computer. However, she loves and I mean loves vape. So I still have the cat problem its just in reverse. *sigh* Now I have to have a spray bottle of water handy to keep her away. Blowing anything, including bad breath, in anyone's face... child, adult or pet.... is just mean. Why would anyone do that? I think its a "straw man." As for getting a nic-high around vapers, personally, I think its psychological. I've been chain vaping in my home and car for 18+ months with my non-smoker Hubby present and he has never experienced that. However, just because it may be psychological, I don't minimize it. I have no doubt that what so many called a fake ANTZ cough 25 feet away from a smoker was real to som of them. This "where is the line between your rights and mine" has been going on a long time with many, many, things other than vape and will continue no doubt. I went through it years ago with a neighbor who was allergic to olive trees and wanted me to cut mine down. I think many of us, myself included, find ourselves falling into backlash mode because we've been so badly treated. My hope is that we don't, individually, loose our humanity as a result of being treated like sub-humans. If we do "they" win. The best any of us can do is handle each situation as it arises with as much humanity as we can muster.
