Vaping in a Movie Theater

[Tvan]

I love threads where the OP stirs the cauldron and then magically disappears

I've noticed this.

Exactly...

My parents always taught me to "know your audience". If you're in a bar where smoking is allowed, then by all means, go sub ohm and make rain clouds. But, if you're in an area where most people aren't smoking or vaping...then tone it down to a not-so-noticeable setting and method...or don't do it at all. Not sure what's so hard to understand about that concept. Some non-vapers just won't be convinced that the vapor coming out of your mouth and nose is no different than the steam that comes off of their cup of coffee or bowl of soup. These are the people that are trying to turn the screws down on us already. Don't give them more of a reason, people.

This. I seriously don't understand how some people don't freaking understand this.

Yeah, we call those people trolls. He's probably started another thread already, maybe about vaping in a doctor's office, or at the DMV.

The idea of not vaping where you can't smoke bothers me almost as much as those in-your-face vapers with no respect for others.

As of 2010 there were 150 beaches where you were not allowed to smoke, and 843 public parks...
The Real Motivation Behind Park And Beach Smoking Bans - Forbes

Do the people that think we should not vape where smoking is not allowed really agree we should not vape in the above places?

I absolutely believe we should be able to vape at beaches, and I do. And vaping should also be allowed most other places (most not all) where smoking isn't allowed. The only reason smoking was banned in most places was a health or fire hazard. Neither of which applies to vaping. But the thread is about movie theaters and in that case I think it should not be allowed.

If it were you can bet your mod there would be a few guys/gals in every crowd who vape away obnoxiously without caring about anyone else. (Think: My wife made me come to this dumb chick flick but at least I have my Boba's and this atty is hitting perrrrrrfect! ... or.... How many of these dumb robot movies am I going to have to sit through with this guy before he gets a clue I don't like them? Well, at least I have my eGo...")

You get the idea!

I also said "know your audience"....


I go to dollar theaters during Saturday/Sunday matinee times. Usually the same time moms take their wiggly whiny kids. I usually sit behind everyone. My stealth vaping the least of anyone's concern.

Wow. You go see the same movies Mommy's take their wiggly whiny kids to? Wiggly whiny kids are enough to make me vape too.

You do have a point if the theater is full of Mommies and Daddies with kids. I never, ever go to a theater on a weekend. Only the first showing in the morning, Mon-Thu when no one's there. That's how little I tolerate distractions in a theater. In fact I only go if the movie really warrants a large screen... like sci-fi.

Back off,im vaping.

This thread is being attacked by TROLLS.

I do actually go to the same movies that mommies take their kids to. My wife and I dig the animated movies. It's probably because it doesn't require a lot of thought in order to watch it and enjoy it.

If we go to non-kid movies, there are usually less than 5 people in there.

Its ok too gas Syria,bit dont vape in public?

You basically said we should not vape where we can't smoke because otherwise they might make rules that say we can't vape where we can't smoke.
That's no different than saying don't do (A) because if you do (A) they will make a rule that says you can't do (A)

If anyone thinks that makes any sense, I am open to some kind of explanation as to how it makes sense.

I don't think most are concerned about not being allowed to vape where smoking is not currently allowed

I agree with many Its much easier to go a few hours without a Vape then it EVER was with ciggs
But the powers that be want to tax eciggs as much as ciggs
they want to ban internet sales
and not only that big tobacco along with some of the large ecigg companies like blue and Njoy want the same goal

There have been more negative articles' in the last week on ecigg use and all it is propaganda
why would you want to contribute to that
so you can feel you got over vaping where smoking is not allowed
some type of feeling of superiority or just like conflict

There really is no other reason to have to vape in a place like that
Otherwise if you need it that bad hit the rest room

My rule is simple - where I didnt smoke or cannot smoke -i dont vape.......if I could wait and find a smoking section before I vaped - why cant i wait?

Then carry on.

I like a few animated movies but due to my strict theater protocol requirements I would never see any of them at a theater. Watching a movie in a theater with kids is like trying to sunbathe in the rain. It ain't happ'nin'.

Riddle me this,why do most doctors in hospitals want us too vape instead of smoking?Try it,walk into your local ward and see what happens,they will be giving you big hugs.

Yes, don't vape where you can't smoke. Human decency. Guess that's a foreign concept to you. A shame, really. All too prevelant in the world nowadays. Especially in the U.S.A.

Saying through your actions that vaping and smoking are the same and equally dangerous. Human ignorance. Vaping openly most places but respectfully makes much more sense than acting exactly like the ANTZ's want you to act.

 

[gokusnimbus]

vape at a drive-in movie or buy a projector and vape in your own theatre

I don't see how people don't see this. It's freaking baffling to me. But I was brought up to respect people and rules.

Hammer hits nail on the head! We live in a me, me, me, it's all about me society now a days.. I was taught to respect others; to always say thank you, please, yes sir, yes, ma'am, no thank you, etc... My adult kids do the same. Good behavior is not genetic, it is learned. Values have been (and are being) gutted from our culture- especially over the last few years!

I ALWAYS think about how my actions could potentially affect others. I'll continue down the high road...except maybe when I'm at Walmart

My posts are deleted, but this trash isn't? Great job, mods.

Seriously? You don't think it has anything to do with the health effects of smoking vs. vaping. Wow, you're a smart one.

 

[Randy C]

Simple. Because vaping is not smoking and second hand vape has zero equivalency to second hand smoke. If you can't see the illogic in that there is no helping you. You might as well stop vaping now because your "logic" is exactly what is going to get it banned everywhere. After all, that will be the only decent thing to do...

I suppose you will be ok having to sneak around and do it illegally in any place once gets altogether banned. Or perhaps not. Your sense of decency and your logic seem to be in conflict.

I think Shatner's logic and reasoning are just fine, and I'm sure most veteran vapors feel the same way.

To non-vapers, it's very difficult to tell the difference between a cloud of smoke or a cloud of vapor. Why on earth would you want to make someone else feel uncomfortable? Can't you see that clouds of vapor could be perceived as smoke? Can't you see that other might be concerned with what they're inhaling? We're educated on the subject of vaping; most others aren't

It sounds to me like you just want to fight over your God given right to vape; wherever & when ever you like- at the expense of anyone else around you. Here's a news flash: We have had MANY God given rights taken away from us lately... our right to bear arms in some states, to drink large soft drinks in NYC, our right to privacy, our right to say prayers and the Pledge Of Allegiance in schools, and more....

Some people get off exercising their God given rights to prove a point. Our rights can easily be taken away. Please do me a favor... Please don't come to Florida to try to prove your point I like vaping here...
