Legality of Vaping Indoors in King County

[moonstone]

So would you object to people drinking coffee around your kids because there's cafiene in the steam? It's about the same level of exposure and about the same level of harm.

How do you know that? How do we know what the true risk is? Have their been studies? If so where are they? The reason I ask is that I vaped inside my house for the 1st day-then I noticed that there was a strong odor that hung around for days, so I felt bad and started vaping outside, just like I used to smoke outside. I have a dog and cat with kidney disease so indoor air quality becomes a concern as their kidneys don't need to be exposed to any more toxins than what I can control.

I've also noticed that it's not just exhaled vape, there is also a little vape that escapes between the battery and carto and also on my kgo with dual coals-there is also some vapor left in the carto that slowly escapes after I bring it inside. Since learning that, I now take the mouthpiece off and blow out the vapor before coming inside.

So I would love to know for sure if I am being overly paranoid-I would love to vape inside-but only if it is absolutely, no doubt about it, safe for my little critters. So are their any definitive studies showing the ingredients and dispersal of exhaled vape?

I was actually in an Indian casino the other day where smoking is legit. I had my epipe with me and it had a tank on it so it looked kinda menacing you could say. I was approached and told by the security that I could not use my device in the casino. I pulled out my backup Smoov which looks more like a cig. He told me no to that also since it was electronic and might scare people. LOL. So that kinda sucked. I did break the rules and stealth vaped a few times throughout the night. I mean the cig smoke was wafting all around me choking me out anyhow so I didnt see any problem with my little ecig. I still felt kinda guilty doing it though since I was told not too. I maybe took a puff per hour though so not too much rule breaking.

Which Casino was this if you don't mind sharing? I would have immediately pulled my chips from play, and politely informed them that I was going to take my money elsewhere. I had an opposite experience in a casino. Another patron asked me if I was allowed to use my ecig, and before I could answer, the pit boss stated with authority that since there were no laws against it, it was absolutely allowed. This was at a smaller card room type casino within King County. I wasn't aware of the law at the time, and neither was the staff apparently.

I was out visiting my parents at the Quinault Beach Resort Casino in Ocean Shores. I would have left but I was mainly there to watch my wife play slots for hours on end. I actually considered approaching another security person to see if he would over rule the first but decided it wasnt worth the trouble.

We are fairly new parents so when my folks offered to watch the little one while we go out for a night we obviously leaped at the opportunity. We have only had a couple nights out since he was born. Plus my folks were super excited to watch him anyhow. It was my first ecig test in public and it went all sorts of wrong lol. Im not the type of person that wants undue attention. Im kinda quiet and not argumentative so Im not the best for arguing "our side".

Exhaled vapour is pretty much the same as inhaled vapor: propelyne glycol. It's been used for years as an additive and it's often injected into hospital ventilation systems for its anti-bacterial properties. It's considered safe. Odors do hang around sometimes. It doesn't mean anything. Ever cook fish? Your dog and cat properly pollute the air more than your PV.
