I agree, just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean you SHOULD. Then you start a steep decline of privilege and restriction.
Just because some people say you have to hide it doesn't mean you have to. We are not sheep. We are people. Why do so many people forget or fail to realize that each of us are independently able to think and make decisions for ourselves. At least some of us can..
casinos by me have smoking sections on the floor. I agree though, personally I don't vape anywhere that smoking isn't allowed. The whole its not smoke argument is just being a ..... imo. Not everyone knows, and it makes people upset, why cause trouble?
I honestly believe that one of the best ways for us to avoid legislation is to vape in public and explain what it is that we are doing. The governments and non-profits have worked for quite a long time to demonize smoking, and for good reason. It will kill you. They have even gone so far as to whip the public into a lather about second hand smoke again debatably with good reason.
When a person sees you vaping they automatically associate it with smoking and therefore demonize vaping as well.
I agree that we must be polite, but we should also go out of our way to vape in public. Not only to de-demonized it (pardon me for coining a term) but also to help spread the virus as it were.
More people see, more people switch. This is better for everyone involved.

If I ask the manager, and they're okay with it. I'm vaping it, and I'm not hiding it. That's just that. I'm not going to walk up to someone's dinner or drink and blow a ginormous sub-ohmmy type cloud into it, but I'm certainly not going to hide in a corner, either.
If you vape where you were able to smoke who cares! If you want to argue it's vapor not smoke.....thanks in advance for the stiff regulations were gonna have forced upon us. Most proponents put anyone blowin anything in the same category! Respect you're surroundings and the people in it and you'll be fine.
Good point. NOW, may be the only time you are allowed to vape. I'm confident the majority will do their best to shut us down even if we are meek as mice.
What a mental image.
It's too dang late. I jus thought bout going on over to dat beer drinker forum and telling them knuckle heads not to hoot and hollar when they are sipping those import suds.
I don't hide, but I don't flaunt either. Flaunting is bad manners, showing off is bad manners, drawing too much attention to oneself, speaking loudly, talking on a cell phone in a movie theater or spraying too much perfume on oneself before going to a concert or a play is also bad manners. I may love my Chanel No.5, but the person sitting next to me may not.
Let's just be polite and respect other people's space. I do believe in vaping but I don't believe in proselytizing. If someone asks, and people do ask here in California where vaping is quite common, I'm more than happy to talk about vaping. But I don't flaunt.

Ummm... isn't not doing it, because you might be afraid of what someone else thinks or believes the very essence of "a steep decline of privilege and restriction"?

I vape while bartending but the majority of my customers are regulars/people I've converted from smoking. I'll vape inconspicuously in public and in my car but usually when I'm out (grocery shopping, movie, dentist) I can wait an hour and a half for some nicotine.
I've vaped in places like SeaTac airport and various hospitals and people have been more curious and chatty about it than annoyed. You can't please everyone. There's always going to be that one person that's upset about someone doing anything.

I personally don't vape in food places as non-vapers don't know or understand what an ecig is. I work in the food industry myself and have to enforce a non-vaping rule out of respect of non-vapers.
Just know your boundaries when and where not to vape.

Great post Katya and exactly my feelings....has always baffled me to why someone would want to "flaunt" the fact they're addicted to sumthin'.
Just waiting for the day the smoke/ fire alarm is activated on a flight by a Vaper and authorities decide to make that person an example. HEAVY fines for disrupting flights.
I believe if the above we're to happen the ANTZ would all over it and there's the very real likelihood Vaping might be banned in the terminals...presently Vaping is generally allowed within terminal areas.

you should have spoken up ... some people are delirious to those around them
Sadly, this is true in general and not just as it relates to vaping. It never ceases to amaze me just how many people seem to think that they are the only person on the planet. I get that sense every time I'm stuck behind a driver going 10 miles below the speed limit and talking on their cell phone.
I don't vape anywhere that would draw negative attention to it.... and if I am in public I don't try to fog out the place. Some just don't understand that we don't need negative attention when we are trying so hard to become accepted for our hobby.
