I'm sure that most of you will vape with your Friends even those who are smoking.

Do u have the Feeling that you wanted to ask him put that Cigarette out as it is really Stinky. I don't know you.

In Singapore most of the Singaporean will gather and smoke in a Smoking Corner (Yellow Box or Smoking Zone) the place is really full of smoke sometime unless in the open air smoking zone. i really hate to vape with the smokers sometime.

when I work overtime, I'll duck out with the boss and have a vape while he has a smoke. Not like i have to, im perfectly allowed to vape in the workplace, I just do enjoy ducking out of the store (while a task is finishing processing for example) and having a vape and a chat for a few minutes.

I do also in other circumstances, but I think its sort of 50/50. If people go out for a smoke when i want a vape and I want to chat, then I'll follow suite, but if Im allowed to vape indoors whever it may be, and if Im doing something indoors, I wouldnt go out and vape with the smokers.

So yeah, sorta but not all the time ;)


That said, I do find the the smell quite unbearable, I guess it depends on the area people are going to have a smoke, if its enclosed or theres no form of breeze, it'll probably be too smelly to tolerate for me and i'd just go back inside

When taking my 10 minute breaks at work, I go outside and vape with the smokers. It's just a sociable thing to do, a change of scene for a few minutes, and I have a few minutes where I don't have to be a little sneaky about vaping. Vaping indoors is not explicitly approved in my workplace.

I haven't flown since I started vaping. But, I vividly recall the smoking rooms at airports like Atlanta International. Even as a smoker, desperate for a nic fix, I found those to be gross as hell. The next time I fly, I'm sure I'll be able to find a way to do some stealthy vaping in the airport without going to those horrible smoking rooms.



I can't imagine asking a smoker to put their 'stinky' cigarette out. Even though I no longer smoke, I vow to never be an ex-smoking cigarette Nazi. That seems to me to be the height of hypocrisy.

Let's see, I take my vaping tool and I go out to the smoker's designated place for them to smoke and then I'm audacious enough to not only wish they didn't smoke, but actually ask them not too? I've heard it all now. Trouble with being as old as I am is I remember when everybody took personal responsibility for everything they did. Means if your stupid kid hurts itself riding on a gas powered trike, it was your stupid kids own fault for being stupid. Not the manufacturers fault for making a machine that could be incorrectly used my the customer. And, people in general tended to mind their own business. JMHO

The breaks at my work are all staggered and there is no smoking area - smokers have to go to their car at the far end of the parking lot (a 4-5 minute walk.)

So, that social aspect of smoking is now non-existent at my work.

Socially - at a bar or restaurant - I vape openly indoors or stealth vape. I refuse to go outside. My husband waits until we get back to the car if we are at a restaurant, because he is more shy than I am and doesn't want to initiate any "confrontations" or discussions with managers or other patrons. I have yet to have a patron even notice I was vaping in a booth, so I don't know why he is so worried! lol

For bars and restaurants I ask. Wisconsin only recently went toward voting to go smoke free and eliminated indoor smoking. So far, if I know that they allowed smoking before then I ask. At this time none of the places have told me 'no vaping' yet. I play it safe and stealth in venues that didn't allow it prior to the ban.

I still wouldn't go outside with the smokers knowing full well that they are going to light up and tell them to 'put it out' because that is still just obnoxious.

if the Area is not a Open air, I think we Vapers vape with the Smoker are still inhaling 2nd hand Smoke and that is so bad hence i do enjoy the chatting session with them smokers but the smell which stink my clothing, that stink can last for hours on the clothing sometime. so i rather vape in my toilet.

There's not one recorded case of anybody ever dying because of second hand smoke. It's a myth. . .rather akin to Global Warming. When my clothes stink. . .I wash um.

Yeah, Ok. Keep telling yourself that. But, don't expect many converts for either case. BTW, "Global Warming" is really a dated phrase, try to keep up.

Since I have been vaping I have found that it is also the social aspect that alot of people are missing. I am free to vape anywhere and everywhere at work. But I still will stand out in the bay with Doreen, and Gaylynne while they have a cigarette, and I will vape. It doesnt bother me that they smoke, and it doesnt bother them when I vape. Be it in the bay or in the office.

I attempt to always be respectful of where I am at-but as I have now vaped since mid Jan 2010 I have to say that I am more bold about vaping out in public places- ie smoke free restaraunts, pool halls, stores, malls etc. I have so many people ask me about what I am using that I have found when in a hurry I have to actually make an effort not to pull out my ecig so that I won't have to take the time needed. But so many people feel that and tell me that they are grateful for the time and the spare new ecig that I always carry with me that they end up wanting - since they couldn't pry mine from my cold, dead hand LOL

NCC, thanks for the Highlight again. We are in the state where Global Warming is already started but is just how we can help to slow it down by not Smoking Tobacco.

Otrpu, what is it with you? Aren't u suppose to stand on the Vaporizer side? since you like to wash your clothes when it stink by those Tobacco, so just see how u actually wash your Lung when is infected with the Tobacco Tar inhaled by you thru them via 2nd hand smoke.

Yeah, Ok. Keep telling yourself that. But, don't expect many converts for either case. BTW, "Global Warming" is really a dated phrase, try to keep up.

Not to nit pick, but using the term "Global Warming" is really a red flag that shows you dont know what your talking about. As soon as i saw that term, i ignored everything else you wrote.

Its called Climate Change. It is much more nuanced, and properly discribed the phenomenon. Global Warming is a term for those who like to pretend they are informed about a topic, but are just pretending.

global warming is the cause, climate change is the effect.
Studies indicate that until some 2.7 billion years ago, there was so much carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane in our atmosphere that average temperatures on Earth were as high as 70 degrees. But bacteria and plants slowly turned CO2 into oxygen and the concentration of CO2 in our current atmosphere dropped to just about 0.038 percent or 383 parts per million (ppm), a unit of measurement used for very low concentrations of gases that has become a kind of currency in climate change debates.

Ive gotten to this point myself. I just cant stand the smell of cigarette smoke now.
