This is a interesting thread to read. A lot of different views.
Personally, I never smoked in the garage, basement, nor in my car. I do vape in all of those places at home. However, in public I don't vape indoors (even at bars that allow smoking indoors). I generally don't vape anywhere where it's not OK to smoke when I'm in public. I figure other people think of it similar to smoking, so I try to be conscious of others comfort. I'll walk outside and vape when I'm out somewhere, but yet I'll stand a few feet away from the smokers. Vaping while being around smoke lessens the enjoyment to me. But it makes it hard when the curious (sometimes obnoxious) smoker comes to talk to me about it and blows their smoke around me. I try to be conscious of others, but not everyone returns the favor.
