So let me get this straight... we're supposed to passively accept whatever restrictions those who have absolutely no clue about e-cigs impose on us, and feel lucky that a few places might be magnanimous enough to allow us to
vape? I don't think so.
There is already far too much misinformation being pushed by entities that have very much to lose by widespread acceptance of e-cigs as a viable and safe alternative to smoking. The more we accept it, the more e-cigs and
vaping will be lumped together by default with smoking, and be subjected to the same bans and restrictions. These entites claim repeatedly that there has been no testing done, intentionally ignoring the testing that
has been done.
We don't require everything we come in contact with every day to be tested for absolute safety. We may not know that e-cig vapor is 100% safe, but there is very good evidence that suggests very strongly that it is. Vaporized PG has been subjected to testing going back to the 1940s, and is considered safe. It's also considered safe in heavier concentrations as occurs when used for theatrical fog.
Testing also indicates that the amount of residual nicotine left in exhaled vapor is quite low. Further, vapor dissipates quickly; it doesn't linger in the air like smoke, so it is highly unlikely that there would be enough to even be detected in the inhaled air of someone who is in the vicinity of someone
vaping, let alone enough to cause problems for anyone not vaping.
I was tired of being an outcast when I smoked. I'm not going to accept it being a vaper, period.
