Practically chucked out of my local...

Certain bars in NYC don't allow it. They just ask us to stop and we do. Then we never go back. The truth is people see you vape and don't know what you're doing they assume it's a cig. If the person who sees you smokes they may "light up" out of confusion. It's stupid but understandable. Just remember you use to go outside to have a cigarette. It never use to bother you. If it does bother you to go outside FIND A NEW PLACE. I don't agree with the pub but i understand. If you're not producing giant clouds of vapor 90% of the time no one says anything. Keep that in mind. Maybe you should get her husband a kit. If he quits they'll be your best friend and who knows maybe you'll see an "E-CIG'S WELCOME" sign. Best of luck!

If someone who owns a business asks me to stop vaping, I explain what it is, and if they still don't get it I tell them that I will stop but I will also be leaving and not returning.

As someone said, it's their right to ask us to stop vaping, but it's our right to only patronise places which support our way of life.

That is unfortunate! The general public is just not informed about e-cigs well enough to accept them sometimes. Hubby and I went to Chris Cornell show last night at the House of Blues and my husband was vaping inside. I took a few stealth vapes but that wasn't really satisfying me. The girls next to me were chatting and I heard them tell each other that he shouldn't be doing it inside. I explained to her what is was and she said "oh, ok, that's cool". However, I made him go outside with me so I could vape because I just didn't feel comfortable doing it inside. We went outside and was standing in the non-smoking area vaping and the doorman told us we had to go behind the ropes. I told him it was an e-cig and he said I was fine then.He says "you can use that inside if you want". I told him I didn't really feel comfortable doing it inside and didn't want anyone .....ing about it or smokers getting ticked off because they have to go outside. He agreed and said that would probably happen. It was a rowdy crowd last night and that place was insanely packed! I still don't feel comfortable vaping inside establishments and will just go outside with the smokers but far enough away from them so I don't have to breath in all that smoke.

You forgot some important information.... how was the show?

To follow rules is OK. But...to be dismissed because someone sees vapor and determines that it is smoke and then becomes closed-minded or prideful because they were wrong...is quite something else.
