Look zeroi, I think you've good intentions about spreading vaping as a healthy alternative to smoking, and I'm all for that.
The thing is that you've to understand that vaping in public openly won't make a positive difference.
Let's just say in the best case scenario, a smoker sees you, you talk to him about the benefits of vaping, and he converts to vaping. You don't get caught and move along. Hooray you are a hero for improving someone's life!
But here's a whole other scenario that can and will happen if you continue at it.
Authorities will see you vaping. They will fine you a pretty large sum, from a reference above it's $3000. Your dear mod and tank gets confiscated, and you might be brought in to confess how you got such an item. Under pressure you break and told them of the person you got it from, and the chain of catch-the-vapers continue. The media then gets hold of this story and the newspaper the next morning reads: "Sharp increase in catching of illegal vapers in SG"
More scrutiny may be placed upon other vapers and more of us will be caught. It's a chain reaction, you see?
I applaud your will to make the world to be a better place. Yes Singapore would be better if vaping is legalised. Yes it is unfortunate that we've such high fines, that could be avoided if the government is more understanding.
However you see, vaping is still illegal and against the law. No matter how you see it, one that breaks the law is punishable. So far, they've still sort of closed one eye to vapers. But if people like you continue to be so blatant about it, they might not give us the slight lax that we have the luxury to now.
It's just like gay sex. Two people of the same gender can fck each other, but in privacy. They always campaign for this law to be lifted or changed. You see, they voice it out vocally and legally through open forums with authorities.
Do you see men (Having relations with) each other publicly, shouting to have the ban on gay sex lifted?
The same thing applies to vaping. Vape safe, express yourself in an avenue where you do not jeopardise yourself or others. You've good intentions, but I just hope you understand most of our point of view.
