You need to take into account population density here. You list your location as "The OC," so I take it you live in an urban or suburban environment, correct?

Yeah, Orange County, CA

It's a bunch of smaller cities that are primarily suburban and border each other, with no clear gap between them. Population 3.5 Million, give or take.

It's south of LA, but has it's own distinct "personality".
Home of the Anaheim Ducks, Los Angeles(gag) Angeles of Anaheim, Disneyland & US Open of Surfing.

I'm actually in the city of Huntington Beach, with a Population of about 200,000

I've never even been to a metropolitan area that big! :laugh: Wow!

According to wiki, my town contains about 4,500 people. I think they're counting some of the cows by mistake though, because it really doesn't seem like there's that many people here...

Wow... You likely have a higher shop/vapers ratio than here LOL

But the selection here is absurd... And being "sunny so cal" smoking has long been demonized here, so many didn't smoke in public anyway...

Still, it would now seem very odd to go anywhere and NOT see other vapers.

The ONLY times i see smokers outnumber vapers, is outside of Honda center for Ducks games. But that is due in part to people deciding to just stealth vape inside.

Of course its always been about money. Why else would some selfish politician waste their time trying to stop you from inhaling vapor? Really? You think any of these people give a crap whether or not you inhale vapor? Did anyone actually believe that these people could possibly be bothered with you inhaling vapor?! No, they don't care. Its about money, of course. What else could possibly motivate people to attack vapor products so violently? Their own kindness and consideration for your health? Good god, tell me you are kidding.

Huh?
My apologies if this sounded like a personal character attack. I was making "light" on the contraband hysteria that's been in the news of late. The ATF are whining about stolen taxes to bloomberg while the taxpayers are out shopping for kid shoes and stimulating the economy.
I never thought it could be taken personally. My bad.

Thank you :) apology accepted. I did feel very much like that to me - tho I think I'm kind of hypersensitive at the moment, I am sorry I took it the wrong way. I'll go back and edit my post.

With regards to the stat I quoted, I did read that as official data somewhere, I don't remember where... but now that I think of it it's probably just an old statistic.

:toast: all good. Thanks!
I should have followed the thread more closer instead of jumping in when I did. I'm sure your stats were/are spot on and up to date, I'm the one who's skimming around trying to catch up on the news and threads & should pay closer attention.
Vape on, it's all good. :vapor:

Yeah I've been the same way, there's so much going on in each thread I keep getting them mixed up! Probably part of my confusion there...

Oh gosh yeah! I need a good long puff...

:vapor:

LOL, that fits me to a tee. This wouldn't be the first time I've commented on the wrong thread. I'm so glad we sorted this out, I adore and appreciate your posts & would be miserable if we didn't.

Aw thank you! :) I like your posts too! I will keep this in mind if I have another issue, I shouldn't have been so defensive, I know you better than that!

:hugs:

Water under the bridge, and we'll keep on vapin' on :vapor:
