I coach pony league baseball (ages 13-15, or seventh through ninth grade), and I and two partners run a pony-level baseball association. During the 2011 seasons (from late April through early November), I attended and/or coached in maybe 80 games and saw over 300 different players, virtually all of whom are friendly and know me as "the Commish." I've developed good rapport with a lot of them.
During this whole period, with the knowledge beforehand of our other two commissioners, I vaped frequently at games. No one -- players coaches or attending parents -- had any problem whatsoever with this. I would have heard about it, as I've constantly heard about cigarette smoking over the years.
A grand total of five players approached me with serious questions, all from the standpoint of trying to get parents or older siblings to convert to vaping. NOT ONE was in the least bit interested in vaping him or herself -- I know because I always asked. So much for personal vaporizers and vaping being irresistible to kids: in my experience, they plainly aren't.
About 25 parents also approached me, and again, the questions mostly had to do with converting.
Via samples of disposables I handed out to parents, plus lots of support, I got five formerly smoking parents to convert. They're all happy vapers now. All of them had unsuccessfully tried quitting cigarettes multiple times. One dad had become violent when he'd tried to quit cigarettes at the insistence of his anti-smoking wife. They had divorced. After he became a vaper, his personality totally changed for the better, and he and his ex-wife are talking about getting back together again. His shrink opined that quitting nicotine had probably been a significant contributor to his becoming violent.
All of these parents obtain their vaping supplies online. If that option were to disappear, since there are essentially NO retail stores selling these supplies, I suspect most if not all of those folks would go back to smoking cigarettes.
