Yes. God forbid that poor mommy have to explain to her children that steam is not the same as smoke. I wonder what mommy would say when her little darling asked why that man's coffee cup was on fire? Should my hot steak be served cold lest some parent be forced to explain to her child that it's not on fire?
Sorry. I feel no obligation to protect grown adults from answering the questions of their children, or children from asking questions. I feel less obligation to protect parents from having to teach their children the difference between vapor, steam and smoke.
Good Lord! Would you restrict all your public activities only to things children can understand without having to ask their parents questions? Children SHOULD have to ask mommy stuff. They should be encouraged and even forced to ask questions. They should always be in situations where they need to ask questions. How intellectually stunting if it were otherwise?
If you are unaware of something, I'll be glad to enlighten you. But don't expect me modify my behavior for no other reason than to cater to your unawareness. If I did that, I'd only be perpetuating your ignorance and nothing would ever happen to make vaping more socially unremarkable.
Haha! Well said, Sailorman!
My answer to the question: I vape in public outside - no problem. I will also vape inside public buildings, but will be a little more stealthy about it. My boss has no problem with it at work, so I take a quick hit now and then. I was at a grill party the day before yesterday, and vaped through the whole thing - even when there were kids around - if their parents feel that they can be around people drinking beer, then they can live with my vaping, is my opinion.
As far as friends and their cars or houses go, it's up to them. As far as my car or house goes, it's up to me. My stance is that if you don't like it, get out and walk or visit someone else.
