Yah its like that at casinos here too. A friend of mine manages a movie theatre that is part of a large franchise and corporate has mandated that they announce " please silence your cell phones and restrain from texting during the movie and E cigarettes are not permitted in our theatres." Although Im the only person he knows who vapes it has been a big issue at other theatres so it is banned corporate wide.
I vape in public but not inside public buildings generally.
Except church...taught a girl how to double hit the vape, hold it and the vapor is gone with no smell. Figure it gives me something to do while they pray. Don't judge me! It's not like I put an Ego into a cross around my neck .... now THAT is an idea.
Generally speaking, the only building I vape in is my home, friends houses, bars that allow smoking and outside. Many people know what vaping is and my mechanical sure does not look like a cigarette. Over time, the general population will eventually accept vaping, it's not like any technology advancements have ever been put back in the box once released. OK, but if you eliminate the Middle East--generally people will learn, adjust and accept the truth....usually. When cameras were first put on cell phones there was talk about banning them in public places. Have to protect the children from pedophiles taking pictures of them in public bathrooms!
If you fear the ignorant--then you'll have a miserable life. Vape on but be reasonable.

If I'm in someone else's home or business and I would like to vape, I either ask permission from the homeowner, proprietor, or manager or step outside. I've never been asked by another patron to stop, but if it was nauseous (or worse) to someone unavoidably close, I would be willing to stop if asked.
If I'm outdoors, I vape where I like, within reason. I don't vape while pumping gas, for example, because people might think there was an open flame and panic. If it was nauseous (or worse) to someone unavoidably close, I would be willing to stop if asked, but I have never been asked.

Those of you who are relatively new to vaping and don't know the history of vaping, it would be good to do some research. People vaping openly in public (including buildings) and in most cases respectfully, are not the reason that there are vaping bans and a probable federal regulation that will severely restrict vaping nationwide. Even the few less than respectful vapers are not the problem.
The Federal government tried to ban vaping nationwide in 2009-2010 way before there were hardly any vapers at all, much less ones vaping in public. The Big Pharm industry, using their funded mouth-pieces (ALA, AHA, ACS, ASH, etc) along with the zealot ANTZ's and the politicians from one side of the aisle, are the major causes of bans and severe restrictions. We could all only vape in bomb shelters and the drive to eliminate vaping would be going on full force.
Most of us advocate vaping openly in most places BUT respectfully and with common sense. We also advocate educating yourself on what vaping is and is not and being prepared to educate the uninformed. Let's NOT confuse vapers' actions with what is driving vaping bans/severe restrictions. That's just not reality.
If you care about vaping, want to continue to vape as you do today and want to learn what we can do to stop these insane restrictions, then join CASAA. Every vaper should be a member, unless you want to see vaping banned and severely restricted.

If you're talking anti-vaping legislation, I agree, the source of anti-vaping legislation is definitely not rude vapers. There are organized groups actively lobbying for that.
A particular place of business, however, may consider the behavior of patrons when establishing policy for that place of business. A local and privately owned park, for example, informed me that they banned an outdoor game that I play because some other people did not ask permission before playing. Thanks to some other jerk who didn't ask permission, I can never play in that park again. This experience is one of the reasons I will not vape in someone else's home or business without permission.

That is one of the reasons why we advocate to vape openly but respectfully and with common sense. Those who state on here we should all just act like vaping and smoking are the same thing are part of the problem and not the solution.
would rather inhale clouds of vapor then clouds of cigar or cigarette smoke. Usually when I blow clouds, people response is, yummm that smells good!! What are you vaping. Most casinos around here allow smoking, since it is on tribal land, and is the last refuge for public smoking in Washington State. Haven't had a single complaint from vapers vape but continue to hear complaints from patrons about people's nasty smoke from cigars, cigarettes and tiparillos. Most heard comment is OMG did you see the clouds of vape he was producing?
That was when the guys from MBV visit our casino, but never a word of complaints, more of what is that, and asking for business cards. But yeah, common courtesy should be followed, sounds more like you might of lost at black jack or something.

I don't vape indoors... Because I don't want to.
I vape at home... Because I want to.
I vape outdoors on a bench or chair away from everyone... Because I value my time of solitude.
I vape in my car... Because I am stuck in stop and go SoCal traffic.
I choose places I do and do not vape.

Shame we have to hide instead of flaunt what has the potential to save more lives than most if not all recent pharma products.
GOOD THREAD!
I like to vape...I vape everywhere....movies....doctor waiting rooms...restaraunts...on airplanes...and never once have been discovered or approached about it. I dont vape to get attention...or compete in the biggest cloud contests.
But alas....it had to go there....to bad.
Hoot

Totally agree! It's creating way too much attention when everybody turns and look at you. On top of that, high chance that they'll probably have a disgusted look on their faces. I wouldn't want to experience that at all.
Yeah plus all the questions asked about how they can get into vaping, getting distracted from placing my bet and missing out on a 3 way or hopping hardy way bet that I wanted to make, hate having to educate people by getting un wanted attention.
I've been in the unique situation for decades of being in a group of friends in which I was the ONLY smoker. I don't even know anyone who smokes, or vapes.
My friends were always very tolerant and allowed me to smoke here and there lightly in their homes and even in their vehicles if I could roll down a window.
Once I did try a small cigar and that was a little overwhelming for them since cigars tend to be more "stinkie" so I didn't do that in their homes or cars.
Now that I am vaping, they are equally magnanimous......EXCEPT there have been a few ejuices that have flavorings that BOTHER some of my friends. The smell of certain things fills up their room or car and they do not like it.
That sort of "clued me in" to the fact that while vapor may be safe to others, that doesn't mean it will be PLEASANT to them.
As a result, I am careful where and when and how I vape when around other people, and even moreso around strangers for whom I do not know their preferences like I do my friends.
For ME, vapor is so much less offensive than cig smoke, cuz I can barely stand the smell of cigarettes now......but I have found that is not necessarily true for others who aren't vaping.
Hope my above post explains things. I am not hiding but i see no reason to flaunt either. My friends are so kind to me, I see no reason to make them uncomfortable with some of the vapor I blow
For the most part, I vape openly and unemcumbered, all over town, at the race track, in the casinos, at parties, etc. I just like to be aware of and cognizant of those around me though, as I feel that is respectful. I haven't had any negative experiences at all so far.

There are always other solutions if you want to vape indoors. If you use a 100% PG e-liquid then you will produce far less vapor. There is quite a bit on the inhale but on the exhale there is nearly none. It seems to dissipate far more quickly than VG also. It is pretty much perfect for stealth vaping.
