Every belief, every argument, has to have a basic assumption - a common foundation we both use to build our belief system. If it's good manners to not inflict our vapors on others, please explain how the basic assumption isn't that vaping is either harmful or offensive? You talked about others being disadvantaged (Disadvantaged? Really?) by being in proximity to vapors. You compared vaping to farm boots covered in pig feces.
Again, if what you're breathing out is that disgusting, change your brand. What I'm breathing out isn't harmful or offensive, and there's absolutely no reason for me to hide in shame to do it.
I knew a guy who used to hide his vaping. He was a serial killer, and he died in prison.
See how the juxtaposition of two totally unrelated things can create an impression?

I somewhat disagree. In as much there are some people I have read on forums that seem to exist solely for the fun of pulling apart other peoples comments with inane and often lop-sided logic. That is - whilst there is an aim to the argument the person is so vacuous they have no belief system of their own (and probably because of it) but only the need to ridicule others.
This is in no way aimed at any of the people in this thread (so far) I may add.

I was actually giving a comparison to an individual's
perceived discomfort. Whilst it may be individual's assumption that there is a problem with someone vaping in a eatery (thinking it is cigarette smoke) doesn't change the real-ness to them, in a situation which could have been avoided by the "Vape-or" showing a modicum of respect for someone else rather than fulfilling their own immediate wants/needs.

Maybe my VGo puts out way more vapour than your pro-vari cause at times I produce vast clouds of vapour. Thats the way I like it - uh-huh. When a mushroom cloud of vapour coming from the table next to you (Bacon, Cloves, Cinnacide or whatever flavour) blots out the person sitting across the table from you or precludes you from seeing your meal I think that could be interpreted as a perceived disadvantage-ment. Really.

You seem to be making a somewhat poorly disguised jibe at my breath. At no time has anyone other than you has made the inference that I am indeed vaping pig feces or comparing vaping to farm boots covered in pig feces. It was used as I stated before simply as a comparison, something it seems you have yet to grasp. Go back and read the post once more and if you still disagree that was what I inferred then I will agree to disagree - and move on.

If the impression you are trying to convey is that you know some pretty weird people, then I guess you've succeeded admirably.
