Did you ever had a problem vaping in a movie theater?

We all get ourselves into trouble this way, yes?

I've a decent mini theatre set up at home so I know you don't need to blow massive clouds for the vapor to be easily noticeable and cause a distraction to others in a theater.

Your sitting in a dark room with a high intensity light beam behind you projecting an image in front of you. Any amount of smoke/vape crosses that light beam and it will be seen. So in this scenario, It may bother a few people...

God forbid someone sees the vapor, thinks "smoke" and yells out "fire" in the crowded theater causing all kinds of panic

O come on your really going to go there Fire? That made me chuckle I feel bad for you if your being serious.

So I think you made my point if a person can vape and you are not seeing it then they are not bothering you. If it dose bother you because you can see someone taking a vape and blowing it in their shirt or something and that behavior irritates you the problem is yours.

The difference is you think that person is doing something they should not be doing vs that person doing something that is bothering others around them. As I stated before This person is just as disruptive and rude as the person bothering others with rude behavior.

As for the fire thing. Yeah i wasnt serious, but you know how some people can be. Lol

Actually no. I dont think, I know the person is doing something he's not supposed to be doing if I see them vaping in the theater. The fact that you need to be stealthy about it shows that you kinda know it too. ;-)

A bad stealth vapor may be disruptive to others in the theater as well. Not saying your bad at it. I just know alotta people who 'think' their being stealthy.

If you do it and no one sees you then no one knows so you didnt do it. ;-) Good for you, but If someone does catch you, don't be surprised if your asked to stop or asked to leave if you refuse to stop.

Think if you went to a friends house and your asked not to vape in his house. Would you respect that or would you stealth vape when he's not looking? Doesn't matter what his reasons are. You wouldn't vape in his house right?

People like you are the reason for all these new regulations popping up all over.

I now see this as a trolling comment as its basis in fact, by those who truly understand and participate in politics of eCigs, is unfounded. I'll highlight it this one time, but would suggest it just be ignored as nonsense.

You quit smoking. That's great. Do you really need to vape EVERYWHERE you go? I see people who walk into grocery stores vaping massive clouds. They can't go 15 minutes into a store without hitting their PV... That's kinda sad imho

a) I didn't quit smoking, and think it's great to be a moderate smoker.
b) I desire to vape everywhere I go.

To the other comments of do I need to vape during 1.5-3 hour movie? Nope, I don't. I desire to.
I don't desire to eat strong smelling popcorn that permeates the air while watching a movie. Others do. Should I be asking them about their 'problem' and if they can go without eating / popcorn for just 3 hours, or are they that much of an addict? If yes to that question regardless of how it is spun, shall I then tell them to seek professional help simply cause they are trying to justify what is obviously known before question is asked - that no human needs to eat popcorn in that situation?

Maybe I ought to announce here on the internet that if I catch you in your popcorn addiction while watching a movie I'll be the 'sane' one in the room and go report you for taking away from my enjoyment of watching the film in public. Perhaps I can plant just enough seeds that there will be a movement of anti-popcorn eaters in movies. Man those reasons for watching a movie on the big screen just keep getting to be fewer and fewer.

Personally I don't vape in a movie I just dont have a issue with it ether.

I guess its how you look at other people and project their intent.

Is this person being considerate of others and taking a vape and stealthing it so as not to bother anyone around him? Or is he a pathetic nicotine addict hell bent on disrupting the rules of civilized society by sneaking a vape? ;-)

Honestly I dont have any friends who care if I vape in their house. This is another behavior Ive noticed that has took a turn for the worst.

Hosts use to try to make their guest comfortable and a guest would not impose, again a two way street If my Hosts were non vapors non smokers I would keep my vaping down to a minimum so as not to place undue stress on them in turn they would not be up tight about me doing something that dose not usually occur in their home.

 

[stumacky]

What's a movie theatre? Is that like Netflix? Because I vape while watching Netflix.

 

[snowyghost]

I go to the movies a lot and my recent movie the wolf of wall Street was 3 hours long. That's a long time to go without my vape. I went with me father who also uses a ecig. I've had no issues just sit on the end of a row stealth vape and blow it into the walk way. I don't think it effects anyone.

1st I would like to say I vape like I wear cologne- moderate as not to offend.

As far as cow towing to people and running around like the sky is falling because they may ban vaping, They are going to try to do that regardless imho, but I would suggest that Vapers read the following before giving up their rights so easily.

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.

I've posted this a couple times before, but in my state's legislature last year, there was a bill to allow the banning of vaping by businesses, which advanced in part because one influential person sat behind someone vaping in a movie theater. If you think about it, the movie theater is about the least appropriate place to vape.

You just never know if the one person you piss off could actually do something about it.

The main thing is, if no one knows you're doing it, how can it be offensive?

 

[stylezuk]

I really don't get this concept. "If we don't treat it like smoking, then they will regulate it to be just like smoking".

They may do that. They may pass laws everywhere to say "Vaping must be treated the same as smoking, you are only allowed to vape where you can smoke". They may do that whether we vape in public or not.

But what you are asking is for us to do it to ourselves. Treat is as if those laws already exist. Stand in the smoking section and come back inside reeking of smoke. Freeze when it is cold outside, get wet when it's raining, because we're acting like smokers.

My plan is to be reasonable and try not to piss people off, but to vape more or less wherever I want. In some cases, like the movie theater, I'll stealth vape. In others (in most) I vape openly.

I've been doing it that way for two years, and nobody ever complains. Nobody ever says "Hey, you can't do that" or anything similar. The only time it even almost came up, in a large bar, a bouncer comes up and tells me I can't smoke. I show him my PV and tell him I'm not smoking. He repeats "can't smoke", I repeat", "Not Smoking". He says "You need to talk to the manager" and points across the room. (I'm pretty sure the manager had seen my vapor across the room and sent the guy over.) So I go over to talk to the manager. Before I even get to him, he see's me walking up, see's my PV, and says "Oh, it's one of those. You are fine". He knew what it was. The only reason he sent the bouncer over is because he thought I was smoking. The bouncer didn't know about vaping - but I'm sure he does now. And now, at that same bar, lots of people vape, including some of the bartenders/waitresses.

Vaping in public helps bring it around people who aren't familiar with it. They learn that it isn't like smoking. They learn that it doesn't smell like smoking. (And for most people, the "I hate smoking" stigma is due primarily to the smell.)

It makes sense to be considerate. If there are kids all around you, you shouldn't vape openly, and even stealth vaping you need to be very, very stealthy. The more crowded it is, the more picky you should be. But if we treat it exactly like smoking, we're stigmatizing ourselves, and it doesn't matter if *they* pass laws about "You can vape only in places where you are allowed to smoke" because in that case, we've already done it to ourselves.

I'm not smoking, and I'm not going to pretend like I am smoking.

I'm not smoking, so no, I'm not going to treat it like I am. Granted, I'll be respectful and make sure I'm not blowing plumes of smoke everywhere I go. I mainly do that at home because I can, but indoors and in public I keep it to myself.

Giving in and only vaping where smoking is allowed is pretty much letting the government already walk all over you, I refuse to do that.

I'm fully ware were not smoking that was not my point, it's about others not ourselfs and perceptions of if people keep going to the owners of establishments and moaning about people vaping what happens, the management will make the "No vaping" it goes higher than this since they play a part as big organisations in the future of what happens and so do the misinformed public that moan about us and what we do "Vape" so all in all it's just being conseravtive over where vape and what one does so as the future is not impeded more than needs to be, yeah there will be the well i "Vape" not smoke but they will also always be the ones that do not like and will be against why add fuel to the fire....

Pretty simple that we should not push our believes on others, i'm in now way knocking what anyone has said as each to there own and my thoughts are that too but just shared.

No offence but if you seriously can't sit down and enjoy a movie for 2-3 hours without fiending for a smoke/vape maybe you shouldn't be going to the theater.

Some people feel they have a right to control everything that anyone around them does. This time it's you.

It would be very similar to me throwing a hissy fit and calling you names because you ate popcorn at the theater and I could smell it.

 

[cantstopwontstop]

A movie theater is the only place I have ever been told to stop vaping. Sat down with a friend in an almost empty theater away from the other 5-6 people occupying it besides me took one hit and immediately watched a woman whisper to her husband then leave. 2 minutes later i was asked to not "smoke" or leave. Since this experience I have stopped vaping inside anywhere that isn't mine or friends place. Tired of getting ugly looks because I vape. Until people understand it's not going to hurt them or smell bad there isn't anything to do. Funny how I seem to get worse looks for vaping than smoking lol.

My exwife said I ate popcorn to noisy in a theater I know how to chew with my mouth closed what else can you do? Just one of the reasons shes my EX!

 

[Baditude]

This!

As I pointed out in my first post in this thread, the above can be accomplished quite easily. Last row, lights out, short double inhale technique, discretion and stealth. No one is aware that I am vaping, even if someone is sitting right beside me.

 

[Jman8]

I like your statement/question.

But to me, the main thing, is if one chooses to be offended, where others are not, then where does THAT stop? What plausible action could anyone do in public that wouldn't be grounds for banning if one (or more) choose to be offended.

I posted on this thread about a non-vaper that sat 1 row behind vaper who was not hiding it, and she could see the vapor. She found neither the smell nor the odor of it even a little bit offensive. She specifically said she didn't notice any smell, and had no issues seeing the film. Again, this is vaper who is not stealth vaping, sitting one row in front of her.

But similar circumstance with someone who is 'highly influential' and that makes it solid grounds to never vape in a theater????
IMO, as the kids will tell you, it makes it grounds to hide it better. Which is unreasonable response to an unreasonable scenario, given that we are, or for sure I am, aware of non-vaper who found zero offense in that similar situation.

Reasonable response, IMO, would mean if you are offended by vaping in a theater, don't sit behind the vapers and/or vaping in the back or balcony is allowed.

 

[omyeyes]

Went to see The Wolf of Wall Street the day after Christmas. Yes, it was 3 hours long but worth it. I stealth vaped and there was no one around me at all to notice. Inhaled all that I could and no clouds.

However, IF I had gotten caught they would have heard me screaming (at the top of my lungs) about the temperature in that theater!!! You could have hung meat in there!!!!!! Why do they do that?????

Lmmfao. Yeah... Because eating popcorn isn't allowed and would get you kicked out of movie theaters... Hahaha good one.....

And for the record. When your on someone else's property then, yes they kindda do have that right to determine what they allow you to do or not do. Their property/land/business their rules. Its not ME as you say. Its the theater. If you want to ask the theater manager/owner if you can vape in there be my guest. You really think they are gonna say Ohh suure no problem.? If they do say OK. Then sh**. Let me know where this place is. Lol

Imagine if someone walked up in your house and started telling you what they were permitted to do in your home. Well... Significant other aside. XD

 

[Zealous]

People with your mentality are pathetic.

Thank you...

I'm not "fiending", I'm enjoying something while enjoying something else. I'm not scraping bugs off my skin. Expand your mind a little bit. Self-righteous, much? Throw the first stone.

...and thank you again. I do not understand why a person who just wants to enjoy a vape during a movie has to be defined as "fiending" or "in need of professional help". This response shows up too often in these type threads & it makes me crazy.

edit: oops, I wasn't talking about YOUR response making me crazy but rather the posters you were responding to lol.
