vaping banned on campus

[BoomerFZ1]

Vapers are bringing the banning problems on ourselves. Be smart about your vaping habits and just assume it's a bad idea to vape in places you wouldn't smoke in...saves so much trouble. When I'm on campus, I just nip into the bathroom and take a few hits while sitting in a stall

I completely agree. I don't begrudge cloud-chasers but when you're blowing plumes in public that are so thick you can darn near walk on 'em, folks are gonna judge. Add to that 9.99999 out of 10 people are going to assume that cloud blockin' out the sun is smoke and not glorified water vapor, is it really any wonder we're on a slippery slope with the general public (not to mention tight-.....ed school administrators).

Power is rarely granted. It is most often ceded. An important distinction.

Nothing to do with cloud chasers and more to do with the spread of misinformation from Big tobacco and big pharma.

Follow the money not the cloud.

But still, if we're all adults, and we're all outside on an expansive campus, then who cares if someone blows a cloud, smokes a cigarette, tokes a cigar, or enjoys a pipe while walking to the car? The real problem is this ban-everything mindset that has taken over everywhere.

So you smoked in the bathroom on campus?

I think it is so smokers don't light up when they see a vaper from a distance...

No, no, no......you're not doing this correctly. Regardless of the situation, and regardless of the reasons for the proposed ban, we must always blame the cloud chasers.

And last night my husband took his break from class, had an istick and a mini nauti ( no clouds per se) the security guard told him he had to go out of the boundaries, too many smokers were complaining they were letting vapors "smoke" wherever they wanted. So I think it's partially jealousy.....walking 2 mi to go smoke is rediculous walking 2 mi during a 10 min break from a three hour class is absolutely awful. There's a clean air policy on the campus, there's 10 leaf blowers and gas lawn mowers at any given time, that's not clean air....... When does it become too rediculous? When is it enough?

That is just ridiculous!! Someone should simply tell the smokers when they complan that vaping is not smoke. So what if they complain? You can't please everyone.
Maybe if they took the stance that vaping is not smoking thus no need for vapers to go to the smoking area, more smokers would switch to the healthier option of vaping.

They have banned it to the smoking areas here on the college campus where I work..
