A few on ECF believe smoking and vaping are the same thing and treated the same way.
They are entitled to their opinion, however I find that hard to believe. If that was the case then what's the hubbub about the FDA, taxes and bans?
Thanks AmandaD & vv2win for your responses. I have printed off the relevant info & will use it to write my letter to the board.
I have seriously considered leaving the club. I just have so much money and time invested in the place, I don't want to make a hasty decision.
The club executive are not the morality police. I am not harming anyone.
I'll see how (if) they respond to my letter & proceed from there.
Ahhh, Rich people problems. ..KIDDING...vapers are as big a pariah in society as analog users. All you have to do is whip out your baseball bat mod and 5 ml tank and watch...people look at you like you have a 3rd eye. Why should it be any different at a country club. You are wasting your time trying to convince anyone of anything else. The pseudo "science" on the effect of vaping is laughable.

A few on ECF believe smoking and vaping are the same thing and should be treated the same way.
Despite the mounting scientific evidence that e-cigarette vapor is not hazardous to the health of users or bystanders, some groups such as Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights and American Lung Association lobbyists continue to insist that vapor should be included in laws meant to protect the public from smoke exposure. Calling vapor smoke does not change the physical and chemical properties of either substance. Including vapor in smoking bans encourages smokers to continue lighting up instead of switching to an alternative that could save their lives and reduce health risks of bystanders.
Yes, I have noticed that.
And publishing a link to anti-vaping propaganda in a vapers forum is a case in point.

Whenever you see the name Stanton Glantz, be assured that what he spouts about vaping is the worst kind of fearmongering and propaganda imaginable.
I am amazed that somebody actually has the gall to link anti-vaping propaganda to a new member of this forum who is asking for positive reinforcement and for help. ECF is a vapers forum, not an anti-vapers forum.

Instead of reading propaganda authored by the worst enemy of vaping, Mr. ANTZ himself, the OP might want to take a look at this thread: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...-discussion/508446-myth-second-hand-vape.html - Good reading there. Including the OP statement.
