Vaping in public - where should people draw the line?

[Charlie C]

I vape in my office on planes in supermarkests, restaurants, bars, casinos (no biggie there) I've even vaped in a hospital!
Stealthed that one though.

1. Definitely
2. YES, but I ll be a bit cautious.
3. Stealth
4. vape like there is no tomorrow.
5. Probably not.

1. a smoker's corner outside an office block
2. near the doorway in front of the office block, which has a no smoking sign
3. on a public bus, with no one on it but the driver
4. in a lift/elevator, alone with just a security camera
5. sitting in the reading section of a public library

1. No problem.
2. No
3. No
4. probably not uinless incredibly stressed
5. No.

I probably err on the side of being conservative, I admit. My reasoning is that it is asking a lot of security personnel/staff to differentiate between smoking & vaping. It is also opening them up to being abused by rabid anti-smoking people who think you're being treated specially. If we don't want vaping treated as smoking just because a blanket ban makes things easier, I think we do have to be a little circumspect.

[IMWylde]

I'll vape anywhere. If someone asks me to stop I probably will. If someone gets offended, I'll ask them to please get bent.

For me, I vape at home, at friend's houses, in the car, and occasionally at work. I've been specifically told not to at work, since I work in retail, but it's during the night shift when there are less customers who could see it, and it's not difficult to find a little corner on break to do it.

2) Yes
3) Stealth if I did.
