With the way things are going here, they'll probably say that pressing the button is "distracting". The phrase "distracted driving" leaves you at the discretion/mercy of the officer, people have received tickets for eating and drinking forget vaping.My Caravela doesn't have a screen.

As a vaper, I find that second hand cigarette smoke is supremely annoying. I find myself not vaping in situations that my second hand vapor could annoy others. The politics of it aside, laws tend to get passed when people doing whatever, are inconsiderate and become a nuisance. Of course the politics can't be separated from vaping. Vapers are the boogie man du jour.
Even though the second hand vapor is arguably harmless, there's a psychological revulsion to it. People see the cloud and are reminded that it was in someone else's body, and they're breathing it into their body. Then they think about germs being spread. In reality, the vapor cloud illustrates how much air gets breathed and rebreathed by people in an area. You can't see plain air, but the vapor cloud is a stark reminder of how much we share the same air.
The only drive through I go through is my pharmacy and at the drive through window they have a sign that says "No Smoking and No E-cigarettes". I still vape as I wait. I'm crazy like that.
No one's ever said anything to me in the few years they've had that sign up. I bet the pharmacy techs don't even know the sign is there. They don't seem to know anything else so I think it's safe to assume they don't know what the signs they can't see say.

That's really shocking coming from Canada.
</sarcasm>So have they banned the use of flip phones while driving?
Smartphones are OK because they need people to need those...

The numbers on a flip phone are easier to see so you aren't distracted as long.
Not if you have a J9
Holy crap! with my fat fingers, I'd press 4 buttons at once. I'd hate to text on that.
I'm respectful of people around me when I'm vaping. I try not to vape near anyone, if I do I walk in the back of the pack or check the wind direction and orient myself around the other person such that it won't blow at them. That's usually when the wind changes and takes a huge cloud into their face and I have to apologize but no one ever cares and I still can't control the weather.
That being said I'm not with the laws. Whatever law they make I'm just going to break it until I can't. It's been a long time now but I'm quite comfortable living a petty criminals life. Spices up the day to day.
I'm just glad I can vape in my house and dread the day that I have to get an apartment because breaking the rules isn't so much fun when you can get kicked out of your home for it.

With the amount of laws on the books, I'm pretty sure everyone in the USA is at least a petty criminal and doesn't even know it.
If you look hard enough, I bet you'll find a law that says it's illegal for anyone to blink.
It's so crazy to me this thread sounds like ones from 2011- 12 when I first started out here, same monologue I swear. ... We really have come full circle, now it's a forced full circle but still...

Next thing they'll be banning cheese burgers cause some choked. You gotta love these bleeding hearts looking out for your best interest.
Johnny Cash may have had this reaction to anyone trying to tell him he couldn't vape in public (or indoors).
In Lexington, KY don't put ice cream in your pocket.
Wonder if the prohab*tchinists are working on coming up with a law for distracted thinking aka Minority Report. I'm sure some goobermint dweebs are working on it already.
Howz about some common sense laws of distraction...
Distracted eating, sure would help with that not knowing when to stop grazing problem we see these days.
And my personal favorite...
Distracted parenting, might have saved vaping as we knew it.
George Carlin (RIP) would have had endless sources of material these days.

My dog is trained and very highly motivated.
If you need to borrow her just lemme know. Handler (me) comes along.
That's is statically what lawyers say... there are so many crimes on the books that is nearly impossible to have not broken at least one.
We went into Walmart today to get some cash off the card and something was going on because there were like 20 cops there talking to various people in the parking lot and we parked and were walking into Walmart and walked past several of the cops.
Both myself and my husband were vaping on the way in and a couple of the cops looked at us, checking out what was in our hands... That doesn't bother me.
In the early days of vaping it did though... I was always worried people would think I was doing drugs... lol
