Vaping at the movies?

[vsummer1]

Oh, and another one. BANANAS. Really? I find it full of innuendo whenever anyone eats a banana. I think they should be BANNED from family restaurants and schools. Why do you subject your CHILDREN to watching such a thing! Whoever created that packaging really needs to rethink it. Not to mention the texture and the smell.

vaping isn't smoking peoples, we need to change the PERCEPTION of it.

If you used to be able to sit through movies without a smoke break why would you need to vape through one.

My thoughts exactly. You wouldn't expect to be able to smoke in a movie theater, so why vape there? I, too, find it disrespectful.

On the other side of the coin, why should I be spending my money to watch a movie and be having a Nic fit, in a huge movie theater with a 100 foot high ceiling and lot's of ventilation, when no one will ever notice.?

Myy old Karate teachers definition of a smuck is someone who gets out of the shower to take a piss.

When stealth vaping is done right. No one ever notices.

You don't drink coffee or eat bananas do you?

I don't see what the big deal is. If the owner, manager, supervisor of an establishment decides they don't allow vaping, then so be it. If some tool wants to get thrown out of a theatre, airport, restaurant, mall, store, hospital, etc... because they're going to vape-be-damned, who am I to get in the way. My sons school only allows khaki pants/shorts and solid colour shirts with a collar. I can let him wear jeans and a t-shirt if I want, but he'll be sitting in the main office until I bring him the proper attire. Rules are rules. Like them or not. If smoking and/or vaping isn't allowed, get over it. If you want to educate the official who's showing you the door, then do it; but first put the PV away. Maybe they'll review their vaping policy at a later date, but pluming up the place with RY4 isn't going change their opinion on anything right then.

I agree. And some tool will come along and ruin it for all of us who do it respectfully. And of course, if there is a rule against it I would not consider it. But the rules against SMOKING do not apply to me. I am merely emitting some steam that is equivalent to a cup of coffee steam from an object that looks like I am eating a banana. No disrespect at all, I keep my steam to myself and don't blow clouds out like the tool that will and ruin if for the rest of us.

Hi when I smoked Analogs, I never smoked in the house, At work or in a Public place, other than outside or in a smoking section. And if when I was in the smoking section a person asked me not to smoke nicely, I'd always put it out.

You really can't compare Vaping to Analogs. When I hold in my vape for 10 seconds there is no visible sign of vapor and virtually no smell. Analogs just plain stink.

I now vape at work, in my house, and wherever I please because vaping is totally different from smoking. It is not offensive to most people and if done properly in public no one ever notices.

The only incident that I ever ran into was at work, the owners wife was offended by the tobacco smell of the liquid I was using. I immediately changed to non tobacco, wrote an email that I had switched to non tobacco flavored liquids, and than tested the liquid with her to see if she was Ok with it. She was, and I vape blissfully at work now.

You really should consider changing the mindset. Vaping is not smoking, it's a new world and different rules apply.

Like I said to each his own - I vape at work and at home. Unfortunately there is no solid scientific reachable that shows vaping poses no danger when done in an enclosed area. Would you agree with that? And you did admit that the e juice you were vaping did have a smell - so I rest my point - it "could" bother others.

 

[damthisisfun]

That is exactly right. VAPING IS NOT SMOKING. I hate the smell of coffee and syrup. Places like Denny's in the morning literally make me gag. So I don't go there. Now what happens when I am out a another place and some caffeine addict orders their after dinner coffee. Do I start gagging and staring at them while their cup steams out noxious smells? NO.

We need to change the perception of the steam I emit from my vaporizor. It is NO DIFFERENT from the steam rising from that coffee cup. Except I can't ask the caffeine addicts to stop drinking the vile stuff in my presence. Just to be fair, shouldn't I be allowed to steam my stuff if they are steaming theirs?

The vapor is not steam - where yall getting all this from. It has nicotine, PG and or VG, flavor and water vapor - that is not just steam - not that I have read anywhere. Everything I have read says it is mostly water vapor.....that does not mean it is only water vapor - and BTW - I dont think I said it was smoking - if I did - it was in error.

You lost me on this one - but ponder on what everyone including doctors used to say about analogs - we need more research - I dare u to go vape inside a public school - and not vape and hold it in for 10 seconds with the e cig hidden in your pocket.........vape like you would normally do - puff out plumes of vapor - lets see how far that goes....

 

[damthisisfun]

Why did i comment on this one - lol...........do what you think is right.....vape on

 

[Done Deal DR]

I know I posted the other day that I vaped a little bit in the theater, but I also must say that the matinee showing I went to had like 5 people in it otherwise I wouldn't have just out of respect. Nobody was nearby or noticed with the ProVari voltage turned down with a 100% PG menthol juice (VaporGod).

Vaping will never be allowed in movie theaters, if for no other reason, because some idiot will try to fog up the room. You are not suppose to use your cell phone or talk at the movie, not because of danger, but because it is rude. If you are doing something without others even noticing, who cares, it is your business.

I do have a problem with the comment above where there seems to be a sentiment that we need to ensure "vaping poses no danger". I can't think of a single thing I do all day that causes no danger. Driving (crashing, carbon monoxide), standing in the parking lot (carbon monoxide/allergies, bees/insects), typing on this computer (radiation/carpal tunnel), drinking my diet soda, etc. The fact is, it hasn't be shown to cause any danger. I don't want to live in a world where we are banned from doing things that haven't be proven to pose no danger. If you don't do these things, then you will never know if they pose any danger. Heck most medicines out there have been proven to pose a danger, often MANY, MANY dangers including DEATH.

Things should only be banned when they are shown to cause a more danger than benefit that they deliver. If we don't follow this model, we would never have automobiles...

I've vaped during movies with no detectable reaction from anyone. I try to sit on the end, out of the way of the crowd, away from lights, and vape discreetly, blowing the vapor downward across my shirt. I turn off the LED on my Provari and it doesn't seem to be a problem to anyone.

What kills me are the people who have to check their text messages in a movie. When they do that, it's like a flashlight in your eyes, even from a distance. That makes me wish I had a pea shooter sometimes.

This study shows small amounts of nicotine in exhaled vapor. The average ecig only delivers about 10% of the nicotine to the vaper as the average cigarette and far less in the exhaled vapor. There's also a recent medical analysis that reveals no measurable nicotine, but the results will be released at a worldwide medical conference in September and they want $31 for a copy at this time. The one below is free.

When i go to the movies I stop at the local gas station to pick up one of those throw away e-cigs. I actually just go to town in the theater the owner knows me.. If anyone complains he tells them it is a anti-smoking device like a enhaler. It wont hurt them..If there is to much complaning I do stop. Also talked to the local donut shop about me vaping they don't care unless to many people complain. I live in a small town..I figure I will just ask the owners of the businesses I go to. If it is okay...

Better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission.

"Things should only be banned when they are shown to cause a more danger than benefit that they deliver." Who said anything about banning? Plus benefit to whom? Smokers? Forget about everyone else? That's a little selfish.

One time I saw a little girl with asthma use her inhaler in a movie theater. I thought it was quite rude, considering the possible dangers of secondhand albuterol vapors. Plus it made a hissing noise that was VERY DISTRACTING.
