See this is where I disagree.
the fight has never really been about safety or anything else, it's visual. Some people just plain don't want to SEE anyone smoking, that's why they are nearly as vile towards vaping. they have been literally trained to hate. Catering to these people is the worst thing you can do. If you think that being tolerant of an over-perfumed anti who claims your vapor is bothering will somehow bridge the divide, you are mistaken. They hate you. Lots of things bug me about other people, but no one made me king and I recognize that fact. Catering to the demands and whining of these people only empower them all the more. Of course, some of it is from misinformation or no information, but that doesn't excuse it. We all know smoking and vaping aren't even related outside the visual effects and the nicotine delivery. And quite frankly, if someone is sitting is a restaurant and start complaining about smelling apples or bluberries, they need to go home and cook for themselves. That's the core of it, there is no valid complaint and I simply don't care if they like it or not.
