I couldn`t agree more. If I was the poster, I would be more concerned about my child breathing in exhaust fumes. Blowing smoke or vape in someones face is just rude. Unlike some of the respondents, I do vape around my grandchildren, and I certainly don't look at it as child abuse. People need to ready the studies on secondhand vape.
I was in the mood for comedy and this tread has provided it. Just for more amusement, I'll say I believe this.
As pointed out so far, it is rare to see people in the wild vaping. It is also rare to find people who are just wanting to be rude and offensive. So how could this happen twice?
How about this - Either as a vapor or smoker, have you ever been in the process of exhaling and something caught your attention. You look and find you are unintentionally exhaling into a persons face, or in some otherwise ill advised place. I don't know about you but when I notice a child walking by I look down at them partly because you never know what they are about to do.
Now suppose this person is a former smoker. If you've ever noticed the most hostile antz are former smokers and those who lost a loved one to smoking related disease. Now add to it this person is passive aggressive.
They want to lash out but don't have the guts to lash out to the offending party. Why not go to an online forum and lash out against them since a computer screen gives you super abilities. But one time isn't enough to gain sympathy so claim it happened twice. Be careful not to give the story of the "second" situation.
But maybe the second situation did occur. Why? Because this time the person is feeling aggressive instead of passive aggressive. As pointed out, they have a hatred for smoking. All they see vaping as would be a loophole. In the aggressive state they confront the person, possibly to show their child hatred for anything that is perceived as smoking is horrible and those people don't deserve respect. But this person is a 5 foot 50 year old woman. She exhales in a downward directions which is where the child is, or she is just as passive aggressive and knows this person won't do squat, so it might not have been an accident.
NAH, I say troll.

I'd be curious as to the age group that offended the OP. That might show a bit of immaturity.
I believe the OP is legit & took the time to find ECF & bring up a disturbing issue. I doubt the hideous people who blew vapor in a childs face belongs to ECF. It's too weird of behavior for any halfway mature person to do.
If we can't take a rant then who are we to blow off somebody's real concern if in fact it's real. I'm so sorry that happened to you & agree with those that would have reacted by knocking somebody out or getting a hold of the management, or taken whatever action that was necessary.
The people of this forum wont stand for trolls or those trying to put a bad name to vaping. If this teaches one single vaper a bit of etiquette then this whole thread is worth it. We hear you loud & clear but you must understand those that are proud of standing up for this community and the by far majority of vapers. It's too bad you had to find the one in a million. It is very hard to believe that anyone would do anything like that. It's beyond disgusting.
After all, this is a public forum and it is not fair to exclude someones opinion. Perhaps we all may have learned a little something?

um actually you can vape without nicotine.......
so basically you are only here to argue....at this point your story is pointless....would you go onto an auto forum and start blaming everyone for someone's vehicle "blowing" exhaust into you or your kids face?
as stated if this did happen, you blame the people not the product...such as in life you blame the person not their nationality....
there are bad people and idiots everywhere...
well...then that would be me...since I work 12+ hours without breaks I did originally get a disposable ecig so that when I can not step outside I can step into the backroom to take a few quick puffs to kill that nic fit before I bite off irritating customers heads
Vapors are a race now? I must have missed that one.
All kidding aside, fail troll is obvious. The Ops post was put here for no other reason than to incite and hope that someone posts something stupid out of anger in response.

I'm assuming you have not been reading this forum for 4 years. I can categorically state that this "story" never happened and this person is a troll with an agenda. We've seen it many times before.
Too many posts to read them all. However, something does not add up w/ the op. The op just joined today and all 17 posts were in this thread. Making broad and in fact inaccurate statements stereotyping e-cig user behavior. Where does he/she live that blowing vape in kids faces seems commonplace. If this happened to my kid, either a fight would have ensued or the police would have been called. If he/she witnessed this happening to other children and did nothing about it. I would blame the op for complacency. The LAST thing on my mind (if this in fact really happened) would be to seek out vaping forums to rant about it.
If in fact your child was assaulted in the manor you described, You best look out for your child's welfare rather than spending time on ECF {MODERATED} about it. Just MHO but I am sticking to it.

Nope, I'm a bit of a newbie. If that's the case, well then it's scary. What good would it do to post such BS?
That's why I questioned whether or not this could be real & it's so hard to believe.
Twice is fishy to say the least.

They exhaled. That's it. They did not lean in and blow. Yes it's rude they did it inside. Yes it sucks but that's it. I vape outside in public. I vape away from my baby. But don't lump us all in to that group and if I read blow in the face I mean lean down and blow. Not exhale.
On earth so far away.
There aren't that many vapers to notice out there, and I would have been really aware of them after the first time. I would have placed myself between the vapers and my child, just like I would with a smoker. One has to deal with the jerks in life. Better to formulate a plan on how to keep it from happening again than spend time casting blame on a group.
What if someone spit a watermelon seed on your child at the grocery store. Would all watermelon eaters need a reprimand on courtesy?

I am not trying to be mean or anything. However, why didn't you approach the people who "actually" blew vapor on your child. I would not divert my anger/and or displeasure upon a group of folks who had nothing to do with your personal issue. Your actions after the fact belong to you. Go find the perpetrators and tell them your displeasure.
Have a wonderful day!

Since most of us dont think like ANTZ (and wouldnt even if we could as it would likely entail losing 2/3rds of our brain cells) we can only hazard a guess that posts like these are meant to incite a heated response from forum members. This is either done to antagonize OR in the hopes that someone will post something stupid or insensitive out of anger that could be recorded and conceivably used against vapors in the future.
Op has already been reported at least half a dozen times and will most likely only be visiting us for a short period of time.
I don't think the OP gets out much. It must be tough going through life with a holier then thou attitude. IMHO, this is just a prank to stir the pot.
I've never heard of any vaper blowing into a kids face before, nor would anyone I know who vapes do that.
If someone did that to my kid, I was backhand the {MODERATED} out of them, and you should be ashamed you didn't.
