Tomorrow is my birthday and my friend is taking me to a movie (Saw 3D. Never seen a 3d movie before), then we're going to dinner with some friends and family, then out to the pub to drink some beer and shoot pool. Overall I figure I am going to be away from the house for 10+ hours. I do not intend to bring my pack of analogs with me, as if I don't have them, well, nothing I can do about it, and less tempting. Anyway, this will be the first time I've been out in public for an extended period of time (I am a computer geek who generally stays at home). vaping at the movie sounds like it will be a nice change of pace rather than missing parts of it for a smoke break. I hope I can stealth well. Shouldn't be too hard in the theater since it's dark, and at dinner I could just step outside easily enough. But while we're at the pub, it's hard to take a smoke break while playing pool sometimes, so I hope I can stealth there effectively.
My issue is the town I live in. They view smokers as if we were Nazi's in 1940's Germany. They are so bad about it that if you are walking down the block with a smoke, and no matter how badly you try to keep it away from other people, someone halfway down the block will inevitably give that fake little cough as if just the mere presence of smoke in a 1 mile radius will kill them. I am hoping that there are vapers out there in this town and that people are already aware of it and at least somewhat accepting of it, but I have serious doubts due to how close minded people here are about smoking.
I won't just outwardly vape in a pub or anything just to be respectful, and if I were noticed stealthing and asked to stop I would. I just hope my first time out like this won't end up bad. Should I just ask the bartender or whoever is in charge that night if it is alright, and explain what it actually is, or should I just stealth away and hope for the best?
