Time to go on Offense

[fastsnipedog]

Got approached by security guard today at work who directed me to the smoking area. Company just moved to a new office complex. I've always went out walking to vape in non-traffic areas. At this new place, security guard must of been alerted or something, must of followed me waiting for me to take a vape. Another fellow vapor in the smoking area said he was scolded too.

This is getting out of hand, not sure I can do the smoking area, smell of cigarettes just gets to me now. Thinking about trying the side walk, thinking side walk should be public right a way, should be safe there or not.

Seems like we need some offensive. Defense is getting us no where, regulations getting enacted without question. The standard is vaping allowed only in designated smoking areas.

I mean is this stuff bad for you or not!! And, if not, if they have no proof that second hand vapor is harmful to the general public, then what right do they have to make me inhale second hand cigarette smoke.

Heck, they should be thanking me for not polluting the corner of the parking garage they call the smoking area with butts and smoke.

End of rant. [emoji12]

Yeah ciggy smoke makes me crave one, im just trying to quit, and im forced to be around something more harmful that i crave, if they want new laws, then our politicians should be doing their research.

If the "it looks like smoking" applies, I guess all of us in colder climates will have to hold out breath between the smoking section and entrance to any establishment between the months of October through March.

Looks like I am going to have a good discussion with my lawyer son next time we get together and get his take on this. We have laws enacted so non-smokers are not subjected to the deadly second hand smoke. Does it make sense then to require non-smokers, ie - vapers, to subject themselves to second hand smoke if they want to vape? If laws are enacted that only allows vaping where smoking is allowed, the only place we will be able to vape (an activity that as of now has not proven to be harmful to us or those around us) is while inhaling second hand smoke or in our own homes.

Seems like a pretty good argument in our defense. "Senator, are you really going to vote for a law requiring citizens to put themselves in harms way?"

If you swapped 'smoke', 'breath' and 'exhale' all interchangeably you'd be on a winner.

I'm delighted your son is a lawyer.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. GAWDS, I needed that laugh today!

Have you actually paid any attention to politics ever?

Half (or more) of the time, they don't even write the bills they submit. Now you want them to do research?
