The 9 Laws Of E-Cigarettiquette [INFOGRAPHIC] - Business Insider

Most of them are pretty sensible rules. I don't entirely agree with rule no 7 - not vaping in open office, as IMO that should only apply when people are elbow to elbow. Same goes with public transportation rule. I definitely like rule No 5.
Nice one for a change.

Written by big tobacco, this reads like. Lets clear this up once and for all , vaping is not smoking and no matter how much they would like to group us with smokers, they are wrong.
We need a new set of rules not just smoking etiquette from the 1990's.

Good one. And I agree, pretty sensible.

Most of the indoor vaping rules could have been summed by just saying that when it's too crowded, common sense should apply. But I don't think it's too bad if they publish articles that send healthy signals to the public, that vapers are not ignorant

Glad to see Emilecig Post is alive and well and writing for Business Insider.

Most of these are simple courtesy and common sense. However, that this was published at all strikes me as sending the message, "Don't vape where you can't smoke," equating vaping with smoking in readers' minds. Not good.

ETA: No. 6 needs to be deleted. If I adhered to it, I'd be forced to forego my all-day retail therapy sessions at IKEA...

And "Go outside like a normal smoking human being," rubs me the wrong way.

1. Smoking has been "denormalized" by the ANTZ, making "normal smoking" into an oxymoron.
2. I don't smoke. Please stop calling it smoking!
3. If what you mean is "Go outside and stand in the smoke" why is smoke harmless to an ex-smoker when it's supposedly so dad-gum dangerous to everyone else? Even if there are no health risks from standing in the smoking area, the exposure (especially the smell) could trigger a relapse in someone who recently switched.
4. Are you unaware that the latest craze is to make it illegal to smoke or to vape outdoors? So where do we go then?
5. For gosh sakes learn to stealth vape. There's really no need to create 100 cubic feet of vapor every time you puff. You should be able to vape in a restroom stall without anyone noticing. You're going to need that skill once the ANTZ have outlawed both smoking and vaping everywhere.

This is the first line of the article.

"E-cigarette use and popularity is on the rise, but smoking an e-cig (known as vaping) is not yet so common that if you pull one out, those around you will know what it is or what you're doing sucking on a stick with a blue light. "

First off, it's calling it smoking, which is bullshiat. Then it pretends that nobody will know, which is bullshiat. Then it pretends that the only kind of vaping you can do is with a stupid cig-a-like with an LED on the end.

I have only read one line, and I'm already pretty convinced that the guy writing the article doesn't have a clue.

Yeah, just a couple of lines down, and we have " what the e-cigarette smoker really needs to understand" This idiot is determined to pretend that vaping is the same as smoking.

And then "treat vaping almost as you would treat smoking a cigarette."

This guy claims to be a vaper, but that's clearly a lie, because if he had been vaping for 2 years as he claims, he wouldn't think there is no difference. My guess, is that he is a paid shill.
