Question for those who think we should not vape where we can not smoke...

[B1sh0p]

Do you know the stated reason why New York City just passed their electronic cigarette ban?
Because it looks like smoking. They didn't mention anything about butts.

What does that have to do with my post?

You said smoking bans at beaches and parks are all about the cigarette butts.

But we are seeing people passing bans for the simple reason that it looks like smoking.
Those same reasons would apply in beaches and parks, whether there are any butts or not.

On the other hand, if you want to argue that nobody in their right mind would enforce beach and park bans...
Personally, I am more concerned about growing trend for campus-wide bans on colleges and hospitals.

Dang, had to get some more , with extra butter.

vape On anywhere Outside

And already has happened in some place unfortunately.

And there are those on this forum who agree with the rationale behind the bans on vaping due to appearance. Logic and science are way over rated.

Another false equivalence.

I hope you are not lumping me in that group.

I'm in agreement with your belief that vapers should not be treated as if they are smokers. But.....

It appears you believe that it should be illegal to allow all of these kiosks selling vaping supplies in malls where customers try out different flavors of eliquid. And it would go without saying, that the kiosks that sells perfumes where customers try different fragrances would also need to be illegal since the same reasoning would apply in both cases as to why they should not be permitted in malls.

It appears you did not read what I wrote. I said "walking around vaping" I did not mention a mall kiosk where one might try out a product.

Not at all.

I really don't care tbh, but lean towards taking a step outside to have a vape. It helps me manage my habit and I get too avoid public debates over decency. Double win.

Well, I, among others, may appreciate your attempts to control your habit. BUT, stay da frack outta my habits and management of such!

LOL. I left my tinfoil hat at the family Christmas gathering.

I'm having a hard time understanding what you're trying to articulate.

Ya might want to retrieve dat hat; just saying...

I did read it. I just think the line you are drawing is very thin. There is not much difference between someone walking in the mall taking an occasional vape vs someone trying eliquid at a mall kiosk. I believe the majority of those who vape in public do so in a respectful manner.

On the other hand, if you were referring to those few who are obnoxious about their vaping, I agree they don't help shed a positive light on vaping. In four years I have never run into those type of vapers.

When did I say that I care what you do? I don't. Vape away.

About all I can say to that is no it isn't.

This must be the new "standard response" when one is unable to support both current and past assertions.

So I guess we've reached the end of that particular topic.
How do you feel about campus-wide college and hospital bans?

I personally don't care, but it should be the choice of the institution.

Even public ones?

That's always been the standard response for when one tries to equate 2 different situations to aide their argument.

 

[B1sh0p]

Obviously.

How about public housing?
