Vaping does have limits? I'm curious what limits you see vaping having.
Children can't vape in school, for instance. A business has a right to say "no vaping allowed". (And we have a right to do business elsewhere if we wish). A person can not allow vaping in their own car or home if they choose. That's a few to get you started, and I'm sure I could come up with more.
But these aren't limits inherent to vaping. By your logic, ANTZ aren't doing anything extraordinary / wrong. Instead they are just setting reasonable limits to something that needs to be limited. Usage bans become reasonable under this logic. Flavor bans become reasonable under this logic. Limiting the amount of nicotine in a vape becomes reasonable. So on and so forth.
I'm a fan of vaping in public, and I do it daily. But it's silly to call someone an ANTZ (I hate that term) because they don't think kids should be vaping in school during class.
I would say it depends on their reasoning / justification.
Thus far in this thread, I could easily come up with counter examples to those who are saying never vape in a class. Ever. Period. I could bring forth rationale that would (easily) challenge this, and suddenly have these people question and/or stipulate their assertions, thus making the "ever, period" thing appear silly. Or as silly as it appears to me right now. Am glad to do this, but feel the larger point needs to be said.
And that is that these reasons for not vaping in class can and will be used for why not to vape anywhere regardless of your age or status in life. So, I'll just revisit earlier post that gave reason for not vaping in class, not cite which post I'm alluding to, but re-adapt the same logic to apply to where adults should never vape and why (using same logic).
Adults should never vape in a car while driving. Never. It is absolutely ridiculous to conclude otherwise. It's not about whether the vapor itself is deemed harmful, not harmful, has nic or not, etc. It's about the fact that you are in a CAR. It's a distraction to drivers around you, who are also there to DRIVE. Keep both hands on the wheel and think about safety rather than get your nic fix or looking cool with your latest eCig device.
I do agree with you in general about how people should be allowed to vape starting at 14. I don't think it should be encouraged, but I don't think that a law against it will help anything. Personally, I'd put no age rule on it and leave it to parents to deal with. That doesn't mean that kids suddenly get control of the classroom and can do anything they want.
I would say we agree more than we disagree. Especially if you would say outside of classrooms, but still inside of school, these same people could vape, and it would be perfectly acceptable.
