Do you guys use your e-cigs in public?

[Ohio Points]

Yeppers, although I try for discretion.

 

[Royalbob]

All the time, still get some funnt looks tho..

 

[zapped]

Every......single....chance...i ......get.

Hiding away and letting people push us into a dark nasty smelling corner like smokers is the surest way to make sure we lose our rights.

vaping is actually a positive thing for many of us, its not something that we should be ashamed of.

 

[tulianjan]

I love taking my ecig out! I've gotten so much interest it's ridiculous, help spread the wonderful world of ecigs

 

[tnt56]

I will try to respect others when I am in their home or business, but other than that I'll vape whenever I get ready. Except for work where it's banned and I have to drive across the street. But then only 4 more working days here and then I'll be free. Free I tell you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[yowamushi]

I vape in public outdoors but tend not to inside. I did stealth vape in a movie theater once, blew the vapor into my soda haha. I do vape at work but I'm alone in my office most of the time so noone there to see. Back at my old job I did play a trick on the new intern I was training. I took a puff while his back was turned and put my pv away. When he turned toward me I was explaining something, vapor was coming out of my mouth and he was like what the heck was that, I acted like I had no idea what he was talking about. Freaked him out haha.

I try for discretion as there are places where it may eventually be banned. My office mate is pretty decent about it and supportive as she sees it as better than smoking, ex smoker and sympathetic. But in the building at work I maintain a low profile. Sometimes when you get caught it can become an opportunity to educate, insist on calling it a vaporizer, insist on referring to it as steam or steam-vapor, avoid mentioning nicotine content, talk about where VG is used and in what common products, you might want to not mention PG because some food nazi's might not like that, maybe cut out flavors as some food nuts have allergies or at least insist that they have one.
These seem to function well enough in places where there could be legal issue in the particular locality you reside in.
Heck, some young ladies in a bar started asking me a bunch of questions when one of them spotted me using mine, So, interesting conversation starter

In the US, e-liquid is classified as a tobacco product (silly, but really probably the best way to deal with it in our bureaucracy, legitimizes it to some extent, makes above board chain stores comfortable selling it). This means you shouldn't use it in any "tobacco free" areas. Basically, if it's not cool for you to smoke there, you probably shouldn't vape.

To be clear, electronic cigarettes are not at this time classified as tobacco products.

If the FDA issues deeming regulations to apply Chapter IX of the FSPTCA to electronic cigarettes, then they will be tobacco products.
And the FDA has made it very clear that they intend to do so, but they have not done so yet.

So until then, enjoy your Blu and NJoy commercials!

Wow, my bad. That's what I get for believing the signage at a truck stop. I guess they were anticipating the action.

 

[Sickkboy]

Just where a smoke allowed.

 

[emegaz]

if I gotta stealth vape then I bring my volt's and no one has said anything.

 

[dragonfly72]

Did some stealth vaping at the bowling alley last night...gotta love my mini's

 

[redhill]

Funny thing is that the most complaints seem to happen in bars but I haven't been in one for a while now...

 

[TheAngryBovine]

I vape pretty much everywhere. Walmart, grocery, restaurants. Bars here aren't nonsmoking so that's never been an issue. Even at my Dr's office. He actually encouraged the switch and is now reccomending them to other patients.

 

[pmac415]

I have a twist that I use with a clearomizer and yes, I vape in public. I was walking into the local Walgreens blowing smoke and some lady gave me the most dirtiest look ever... I just rolled my eyes at her and walked on, I know she wanted to deck me. It's not like I was blowing smoke in her face or anything and there were no little kids around. I didn't bother to explain that the vapor would not cause her to have lung cancer because I don't know what the hazards of vaping are yet. But I smoke in movie lines, no one minds when i tell them I'm vaping and it's not a cigarette! They all know me, so it's not a big deal. But general consensus is to vape in designated areas to avoid causing a scene!

 

[oheysup]

Some people just don't want smelly(it may smell good, but it's still classified as smelly) 'smoke'(vape) in their face/eyes. This is okay, please respect them!

 

[JazzyTech]

I vape everywhere I go except at gas/petrol stations, and airports. All the places we frequent know us and know we vape. ie: local stores. I tend to sneak a vape in supermarkets and I use a pg mix with no flavoring so there's little/no vape or smell. Just in case Any new locations I make sure I'm facing a camera, vape and wait. Best way to strike up a conversation and convert more smokers I can't say this is for everyone; I'm the type that tends to get away with things Spent a day vaping with my mother in the hospital once. The doctors knew all about them and didn't mind at all. They only asked that we not vape in the hallways since it might upset the other clueless patients. the CASSAA CASAA - The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association has lots of information. There are little business cards with info on vaping that you can carry around with you

 

[moran5]

I don't vape where I wouldn't smoke, of course if I can get a stealth pull in I do. I know I would get annoyed if people were being obnoxious abut there vape. I Agree one the common courtesy thing.

 

[Hello World]

I do... sort of. I have yet to whip it out in Walmart or someplace like that. I do it in my car, in my house etc. I don't, however, do it around my 5-year old step son.

Did a Safeway today, the ethics of it debatible.

I whipped it out in an aisle where some manager of influence was talking to his staff. I told him it's the first time I have been able to leave home in years with this new high-tech "Electronic Asthma Inhaler" without the ambulance showing up 10 minutes later. I just walked on did my stuff while my GF gave him a very sad look back.

Possible Emergency response test.

Gonna do the Odeon on a Monday sometime sitting well away from the crowd. Gov't offices I'll pass on for the time being ... lol
