So I was down at the USS Midway museum today for an event, and saw this sign - just figured I'd share, haven't seen anything like this directly equating vaping to smoking in San Diego before...
Saw my first anti-vape signage today

The graphic is incorrect as well. No PV or cigalike that I know of vents "sidestream" vapor from the end opposite the mouthpiece ... 
Do these people even think about facts, or just blunder ahead with misinformation ?
I'm disappointed that this was done at the Midway, which is a great tourist attraction, and staffed by knowledgable and friendly docents, many are Navy veterans ...
A sign of the times ...

Disappointing here too, especially since my grandfather actually served aboard the Midway when it was in service.

That ignorance is taking over the world?
I'd have to agree.

Until we replace the Dematards and Republitards in DC with 'regular people' who actually work for a living, it's only going to get worse.

Um -- just thinking out loud here -- but there MIGHT be some finicky sensors in-use for smoke/vapors/fumes that could be fooled by eCig vapors. (Certainly wouldn't do anyone's image any good to set-off a false alarm.) Another justifiable situation I can think of would be if there were dangerous chemicals nearby that rely upon indicator scents for leak detection that could be masked by vaping. (This is probably NOT the case on a decommissioned aircraft carrier.) I used to work around cyanide, and dear gawd you did NOT want anything that would mask the scent of any of it getting loose. (Smells like almonds, but only once. The first thing killed by cyanide is your sense of smell! So, if you smelled almonds, but don't anymore, DON'T INHALE AGAIN, just get the french-toast outta there ASAP.)
Perhaps there will be a public resistance to such signs, with people using indelible markers to add comments like, "You can't smoke a vaporizer".
Please do not take this as an incitement to action.
Felt pens are about $1.

I saw one of these signs at a restaurant last weekend, and thought about doing exactly this. Unfortunately I didn't have a Sharpie with me, or I would have done more than thought about it.
They can put all the signs they want up but if I exhale nothing visable then I am not vaping.
One of my favorite restaurants ( ......'s) posted up a no smoking no vaping sign all around the building. I just decided not to spend my money there anymore

Not to change the subject, but rather to tell a tale from the other side of the spectrum. I've been working at a local college lately here in Jefferson county, which is a smoke-free county. Inside of the research building we are working on, there is a lab where rats are exposed to cigarette smoke 24/7 to test long term effects. Upstairs where we are working, we are allowed to vape within the construction areas (save for the hallways were staff may pass).
I'm not so oblivious to believe Louisville doesn't have its share of anti-vaping proponents or misinformed people; but the town in general seems to be very accepting of vaping. For every "antifreeze" comment encountered, I'll hear ten from people interested in how it's working for me; or the "ooh, where's that pancake smell coming from".
