"The FDA has not evaluated it for the content of nicotine or for other dangerous drugs," says Mayo Clinic Health System Nurse Practitioner, Kim Edson.

"USP grade liquid nicotine, kosher certified natural and artificial flavors," says Hartkemeyer.

Much shorter than the list of ingredients in a cigarette, but still not approved by doctors.

I think some people smoke the e-cig out in public just to irritate non-smokers.

I think that the non-smokers with their holier-than-thou attitude deserve to be irritated.

There's a number of reasons why e-cigarettes have been included in smoking bans.
One of the reasons ... we seldom talk about ... is vaping looks like smoking.

The public has a difficult time wrapping their heads around
seeing someone blowing huge vapor clouds below a No Smoking sign.

The ONLY way to fix that is with education.
There is no other way to fix it.

I've been cogitatin' on my first "vape-in" since this whole shebang started...

I don't know about others, but the usual reaction now is "oh is that one of those e-cigarettes"? This is my Billet Box and normally leads to a short discussion and passing out some ECF cards. Surprisingly well over half are non smokers who have family or friends who have been trying to quit or have tried the cig-alikes that didn't work. Way different than 2 years ago "what is that?" with my box mods.

Our personal experiences when vaping in public ...
have little to do with e-cigs being included in smoking bans.
