For me:

I sometimes vape in people's bathrooms. Like family who doesn't know I smoke or might not be ok with me vaping inside. Am I the only one who does this? Lol

I vape at work inside and no one knows. There is no rule against it and no one has caught me doing it yet. But in time someone will see me do it I'm sure.

I vape in front of my mom sometimes. She hates that I vape and smoke. I used to send my e cig supply packages to her house and I don't think she liked that very much. She said it was like I was sending drugs to her house. My neighborhood is a little sketchy, so that's why I did it.

I have sneaked a vape or two when I was watching my nephew and niece. They never saw me do it, but my nephew did see the e cig in my hand and asked what it was.

Am I a bad person? I can't be the only one doing this kind of thing. :)

I don't because doing it can antagonize people and turn them into antivapers. That is the last thing we need. I vape near but not in smoking areas or when alone. I have vaped in a meeting where it is allowed but only occasionally. If we go pushing the envelope we will start to see more ban notices all it takes is for one person to complain and it will cause notice to be posted.

I do the bathroom thing too. See nothing wrong with it really.

I have vaped in front of my grandmother who is in her 80s, but after explaining it out she seemed to understand it and really isn't bothered. This is one of the instances though I'll restrict it to practically 0 use just out of respect.

In this area I'm finding that a lot of people really aren't bothered by vaping, are more interested in it. We've got quite a few 'yuppies' though and I could easily see one of them getting all tied in a knot over a perceived issue that doesn't exist.

Maybe not allowed at all , but I vape in Walmart , Home Depot , Lowes , sometimes the grocery store . Indoor flea markets , and even in some of the V.A. clinics , I go to . In fact my hemotologists likes them , and sees no problem , using them in her office . And I vape at peoples houses , all the time . They just don't see me . And I vape in non-smoking motel/hotel rooms . Never had a problem yet .

Lol

Probably half my friends let me vape in their house, but after someone told me "no" I stopped asking. It bothers me that some people don't want you to inside even though there is no reason not to. At my friends houses I just go outside unless they let me do it inside. Family I do it outside, in the bathroom and at my moms house ill sneak a puff or two anywhere in the house. Almost always when I vape inside no one said I couldn't, so I do it and not tell them.

Some people are not open minded or would take the time to try and understand something they didnt know about , All the hype on passive smoking is to blame for some of the negitivity towards vaping , 99% of people i meet are curious and seem genuinely pleased that i have an alternative to smoking which is less harmful but there is always the other 1%. but to sit on the other side of the fence you like us all are an adict , if one of your friends wanted to light up a crack pipe in your house would you let them , I wouldnt so that makes me a hypocrite, I also have an adiction to polished or anodised metal things and small plastic bottles of strange liquids inside

i never gave it much thought, the idea of vaping for me was to quit smoking and also there isnt really any bad smells or anything that sticks to fabric and little to no second hand side effects, i vape everywhere, all day at work, while shopping, at my moms house, at the in laws, vaped like a train in the hospital while my wife was in labor and during recovery... in fact only place i havent vaped (morals) was in the NICU while my newborn was in recovery from Csection.

My apartment, lol.
This summer the management instituted a smoking ban (which included ecigs BTW)..the thing is, the vape I used either can't be smelled or if I do vape something that smells, it is a fruity smell. One time my landlord had to come into my apartment and remarked how nice it smelled. Needless to say I kept my mouth shut for the exception of saying, "Oh, thank you".
Of course, i made sure all of the evidence was out of sight...LOL :2cool:

There are two sides to every coin, I'll play the devils advocate on this one as I've a few friends that don't vape and have brought a few issues to my attention that I never considered before.
As for vaping in someones house, work, business or whatever...just remember this key fact, its not yours and you don't own it. I'd love to vape in the theathers here however the vapor will reflect light and is in general an annoyance. Also some businesses may not enjoy the smell, yes I said it...the smell. Each juice has a smell and truthfully some people don't care for it as was brought to the attention of a non-vaping friend of mine.
Anywhere your allowed really doesn't matter, feel free to do so at your leasure. The only issue I can see is to blow plumes of vape in someones face. I won't name anyone in particular but have seen this done before. Yah, the person that had gotten a full on face full of vape now prob. is going to be a vape hater. Just be considerate of others when anywhere really, some people may not like it.
I myself have vaped in bathrooms, and at other peoples houses...pretty much anywhere allowed however I still follow the same rules as when I was on analouges.
Just my two cents, prob. not worth the copper its stamped on but I wouldn't take it to heart..rather with a grain of salt and a shot of tequila.
