Vaping in Public

[xcrazydx]

I've been vaping for about a month now, and I never smoked. Makes peopLe around me wonder why I even started vaping. LOl.

I vape mostLy at home, Like 90% of the time. And outside the office or designated smoking areas onLy. I just dont want peopLe to think I'm an insensitive douche bLowing vapor everywhere.

I even took it as far as choosing eliquids that dont have a Lot of smeLL to them when I vape. Whoever said to not vape where you wouLdnt normaLLy smoke, got it right.

Why would you start vaping if you didn't smoke? That's not smart, quit immediately!

Ok, I'm a new member, lurker would be more exact and that's why this has to go here. I just read through a few posts in the "vaping in public" forum, and to be honest I'm disgusted for a lack of a better term.

First, I'm a long time vaper myself. Moved from analogs and cig-a-likes combined to just e-cigs, pro-tanks, many different models and my go to right now is a AGA-T2 RBA on a Zmax mini. So... I understand.

However, It seems as if many people who posted in the public vaping threads are treating it as "I'm not smoking, therefor I have the right to do it where ever I choose to, and if you don't like it you are ignorant and wrong". Please... give me a break. There are many people with allergies to PG and even more people with sensitivities to smells like in perfumes and, guess what, vapor. Did you guys switch to vaping because you want to get your fix anywhere you want or because it will save your life? I can't even comprehend how someone can vape in the office or on the bus or at the movies right next to non-vapers and than complain about people complaining. You are the one who is exposing other people to something they don't want to be exposed to. Whatever there reason is, it does not mater please respect that. There is a lot of talk about freedom and the right to do what you want, but you are the one who is forcefully restricting other peoples right to clean, nicotine and PG free air.

Anyway, enough ranting. (Mentally preparing myself for the angry replies I will get)

This is how i've always felt about people with analogs lol they shouldn't be allowed, period. They are worse for the second hand, as well the smell is horrifying. EW

So I agree with you, just hide behind the book shelf and take a drag lol

I do stealth vape in public but always aware of my surroundings. I do see people from time to time openly showing off and releasing huge clouds of vapor with no regard for others. I don't think that is cool because it draws negative attention. I believe common sense should prevail! IMHO

If you're saying that second hand smoke is worse than smoking, you've been brainwashed. It most definitively isn't, and the studies publicized to "prove" how deadly it is have been debunked.

And ya know what? Those lies and exaggerations worked so well the first time around that the same BS tactics are being used against us now.

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with what I'm reading here, it reminds me of smoking in school when I was young and stupid. You're an adult, you make your own decisions and shouldn't care what other people think. If I'm vaping in the park and someone comes up to me and moans at me, they have entered my space and I shall continue with my vape. The rights of Americans are clearly being violated here and you should stand up and say no to all this. The land of the free? Hardly. If I'm in a pub and can't vape inside, I will go elsewhere where I can, if I can't find a pub in the general area I'll buy beer and go home and vape. I will spend my money in places that welcome me as a customer, which in Ireland is most places. I don't hide my unit and stealth vape while walking around, I puff on it and blow however big of a cloud that I want to, people smoke analogs around me so I will vape. I don't vape around my kids, other than than I puff on that thing wherever I damn well please.

At the end of the day I don't care who I piss off in public.

I've been reading a few pages on the internets about this. It seems that USA and France are the only countries that have restrictions. France has a complete ban though. I won't be visiting France then. Most of Europe is listed as: The use, sale and advertising of e-cigarette products is legal with few restrictions. The USA has the most restrictions (besides the Frogs that is) with regards to vaping in public areas. Sure they pump your food full of GMOs and all sorts of other glorious chemicals, but damn you for vaping in public. This really blows my mind and pisses me off, the laws in the USA are so warped and twisted to the extent that it no longer makes sense. So I retract my previous post about vaping where I damn well please, and now I feel really sorry for you folk across the pond. Visit Europe (Prague is a cheap city!) and vape like a locomotive because you can, and don't have to be a ninja vapourer when you step outside of your house. If I join the CASAA thing will I make any dent in this cause?

But that's USA scrapped off my travel list, it's a shame really.

smoke inside a car and it is raining and u stuck in traffic jem .. wow !!

 

[infazide]

To be honest i still take myself outside, not for the standard no smoking reason but as a person who used to smoke I get the best enjoyment from being outside and catching a moment without the pressures of life. Now when I'm at home it's a different story in that case I don't do it around my children as I don't want their curious minds looking at me asking about it. Though I like to vape I do not want my children to follow in my footsteps. I do understand the need for the public to understand the truth about vaping and I am a strong supporter of it.

I love Rip, but he is a bit over the top on this topic. His choice on how he vapes, and that's fine. I don't appreciate his cartoonish portrayal of public vapers one bit.

His anecdotes about second hand nicotine are refuted by several studies.

Really? I know that a few localities have imposed some restrictions, but I'm not aware of any Federal law or regulation on the subject at all. So saying that "The USA has the most restrictions" strikes me as silly. We are far less homogenous than any European country. We're also rather prone to ignoring meddlesome laws.

Its outright illegal in several countries...Thailand for one. I know a poster here who is local there.

Personally I tend to not vape around children, aside from that every question I've been asked as far as what my apv is I gladly answer, the more the masses are educated the stronger the support given. Although some people do frown upon it but don't bother to get educated on the matter. Only place I haven't vaped is in theaters and in hospitals.

Fair enough, I just based my post on what I read on a few pages of the internet I still don't agree with what I'm reading on this thread, not saying that anyone here is at fault or anything, but just the whole vaping like they're doing something wrong thing.

I always stick to the idea that if it is bothering someone then I will stop. However I did recently encounter a problem where a supervisor at one of our jobsites told me not to vape in the job trailer because "i am invading peoples personal space". Keep in mind that I was not blowing vapor anywhere near anyone and come to find out everyone said they actually enjoyed the smell and the same supervisor was vaping in the trailer non stop just a few weeks ago until he went back to analogs.

Good to know. I have not started vaping yet, since it is very difficult to get in Japan, but I don't think I would want to do it in a crowded place. Japan has become strict about where you can smoke. But they have given designated smoking areas in almost all buildings and public areas. So, I would guess that the proper thing to do would be vaping in the smoking areas. However, if I am trying to quit smoking and get out of the analog arena, staying away from these designated smoking areas sounds like a good idea. They are often enclosed with minimal airflow, and highly over worked filter systems. I'm going to have to consider this a bit more thoroughly.

Sounds like he switched to a sour grape juice as well...

You have to love the selective application of the rules.

And he (the supervisor) will wonder why people have contempt for the rules down the road...most likely he will be blaming his subordinates.

I quit analogs once a long time ago and was doing pretty well. I made it four days. My boss at work thought it was HILARIOUS to light up around me (back before it was banned). Now fast forward to me back smoking because I was surrounded by it at home(first husband) and at work and I just couldn't do it. My BOSS quit and made us all go outside to smoke. Nice huh?
