Yesterday I stopped by a local tavern here in Tacoma WA where it's is legal to vape indoors. I asked the bartender if it was ok if I vaped in the bar and she said she had no problem with it.
I started vaping and not one exhale later a lady behind me is yelling "Hey you can't smoke in here!" I turned around and calmly replied "I'm not." and continued vaping.
Let me stop and paint the picture. Now this is a tiny 40 year old bar still dripping tar from the walls from the millions upon millions of cigarettes once smoked in it and all of the patrons there were probably at the ribbon cutting ceremony, clear, a real poophole.
I try to ignore this lady but she now has the rest of the natives up in arms. "Hey man, you can't do that in here!" From what I can only assume was the "Mayor" of the tavern. "Eh, yeah I can. I'm not breaking any laws and the bartender told me it's ok." "Well it smells like a cigar" (Beware everyone. To smokers Vaporbombs Blueberry Waffle smells like a cigar) How he could smell anything let alone my vaping from across the bar is beyond me. Now EVERYONE in this bar is a smoker so my refraining from dying of laughter is commendable and perhaps worthy of an award.
The lady who thought I was smoking is telling me how the scent is bothering her now too oh and of course her friend. I'm out of steam. An hour later I am tired of explaining I'm not smoking nor breaking any laws but non of them will have any of it so I paid my tab and left.
I feel like there was a lot of resentment in that bar. Every time someone would have to go out for a smoke they'd come back in and see my happy ... vaping away. The other half I think was just pure ignorance of what vaping was, smoke bad!
I don't think I'll be going back but I have found plenty of other places that allow vaping and are very friendly.

Ummmmmm huh??? lol I usually don't vape inside in public but hey more power to ya. I can at the bar/ restaurant down the street but I usually like to go outside anyway just to get some fresh air. At home, in my car and peoples houses who allow it though, I'm chain vaping all day.
