Ohio Regulations on E-Cigs

[brandontrjn]

Hi! Wondering if anyone has any info on Ohio laws: where can I vape? Health codes (no smoking in public buildings)? Any current bills going through that might limit e-cigs here?

Thanks!

We don't have any. It's up to each entity to decide on allowability. Wally world, Aldi, and Lowes "officially" say no. Most employees don't enforce it. If some idiot makes a big enough ... of himself, I'm sure that will change.

 

[brandontrjn]

Thanks Pamdane. Any lists you know of anywhere of places that don't allow vaping?

i wouldn't vape inside anywhere. in my opinion, its rude. it looks like smoke, its distracting, and it isn't likely to win us any points for vaping as a recognized alternative. one battle at a time.

Good point. Usually I cover the LED and hide the vapor when I'm inside a building...keeps me from getting weird looks. Remember when you could smoke in a grocery store? They had ashtrays attached to the shelves...gross

Yeh I stealth vape in the bathroom at school but otherwise outside

Most bars allow it, but ask first. Any mall that has an e cig kiosk allows it openly. Ask your doctor if he supports it, and they will usually allow it. Cleveland Clinic does NOT allow it. Company wide. The new steak house that used to be Penny's Poorhouse in Medina allows it.
I live 5 minutes south west of Great Northern Mall. Meems on the forum lives 5 minutes south of me.

I'll be going to the Vaper Bomb gathering the 29th in Akron.

I generally say vape low, if you have to, when at an unknown store. We need not to draw attention to ourselves in publicly. Ye, we want our voices heard about vaping, but only in nice and considerate ways. Belligerence will only be seen negatively.

Thanks again PamDane...even though you make it seem like we are vampires lol!

Fun, I spend a day most weekends at one of the buildings there. We go play while hubby works. Marc's and Lowes are my favorite. We were there 2 hours ago!

[wazzup592]

Cleveland ohio huh? That's a pretty cool place to be

I live in parma so I'm sure you know where that is

 

[RandaPandaBear]

Yep. Brooklyn's not far from Parma. I never see people vaping around here. only the person who introduced me to it. where do they all hide?!

 

[wazzup592]

I've never seen one either... Maybe they all vape like I do, secretively

 

[Krisb]

East sider here, Perry. I know wild wings allows it, even though as a rule I don't vape in restaurants.

Only time I vape in public is if I'm in like the grocery store and I'm the only one in the isle. Otherwise, I'll save it for the bathroom, if I must
