Well I just try to be respectful to my family & friends so that they stay my family & friends.
Other folks...I don't care so much.
When it's my car, I vape. When it's my house, I vape. When nobody's looking, I vape.
Wow, really? What's their objection to vaping? I can understand them having a problem with smoking but vaping? Personally, the people that care about me are totally positive about me vaping ... they much rather have me doing it than smoking coffin nails.
Vape On!
Vape On!
I was a little worried because I'm the only one in my family who ever smoked. I NEVER smoked around my parents (I'm 43, BTW), and always went outside or somewhere they wouldn't smell it because I know it bothered them (both for them and for me).
Just the other day I was visiting and was showing my "gear" to my mom. I took a drag and blew it out. She smiled and said, oh, it smells so good! That's when I knew she was OK with me vaping. I still won't do it around them like I do at home though.
Sorry you're having trouble getting your family past the psychological barrier of smoking vs vaping. Maybe once they see how much healthier you've become they'll be more open to it.

When in their house/vehicle, I would honor their request. My house or vehicle, my rules. As for vaping around them, when out in public that depends on local law, the locations rules, and whether or not you wish to honor their wishes.
I actually am a little bit worried about vaping in the car. I just have the most horrid fear that I am going to get pulled over by a cop thinking its (SOMETHING ELSE) rather than a PV.

if cops don't know what they are by now, then they need to be re-educated.
i vape in hospitals, police staions, doctors offices.
any where i feel like it.
no one has said anything to me yet.

I have been asked about me vaping in the car a couple times while using it and once I explain it I usually have people interested and when I refer them I get discounts from referrals from nettmix it's great!

I have walked into grocery stores while vaping and forgot I had it out and never had a bad experience
That's the spirit CowdogWhen it's my car, I vape. When it's my house, I vape. When nobody's looking, I vape.
I always smoked out side and never in the house cause my daughters couldn't stand the smell. Now I vape most every place. My daughters don't smell anything from vaping even when in the same room. I still don't vape in any stores but I think it's just habit.
If u don't wanna waste your breath on info... I would simply not vape as requested
I kinda treat it the same way if it were analogs. I already know they aren't as harmful as analogs, but I don't want the risk of pissing anyone off, or even getting into a whole argument from someone who is misinformed on the health risks of e-cigs vs real cigarettes.
Out of sight, out of mind. . . but it is my own choice.

Do you have a link with the studies that prove the bolded statement?
The truth is we don't know if or how harmful e-cigs are.
And not only that, your rights end where the other person's begin.
I'm stunned they are so uptight about it. It doesn't smell and disipates quickly, so what is there even to complain about.
Educate these folks. Tell them what is in it and how harmless it is.
I understand it is hard though. I was telling my mom all about it everything I knew, and she said, "but you're still smoking." I was so frustrated. Just because there is stuff coming out of your lungs people can't get over that it is vapor not smoke. Slowly she has started to understand. Once they get over the initial fear and stigma of "smoke" they'll get use to it. My mom now takes hits off of mine now!
Stick with it and don't give up on it. This should not be considered taboo.
