As many of the products we vape smell horrible to the person not vaping it. Doing so in public places should be as frowned upon as people lighting a cheap cigar used to be when smoking in public places was allowed.

I think much of this could be looked at as situational. Depending on how crowded the place is.
 
I tend to not vape much in places that don't allow smoking but if I feel the need to, I just do it discretely. I'll take smaller draws or blow the vape down my shirt or hold it in till there's not much vapor that comes out. I know a lot of places haven't actually banned vaping yet but I figured there's no reason to push it. Too many people see the vapor and equate it with actual smoke and it makes them uncomfortable. Very few people really know what vaping is so until it is more understood, I try to be discrete about it.

The only places I really vape indoors is the movie theater (which I hole in till there is no vapor) , the bar, and places that I know I'll be stuck in for hours, but my friend on the other hand does it everywhere huge clouds of vapor he just doesn't care he was told to quit at chic fill a about a week ago instead of being polite he just took another drag right in the mangers face and said its vapor
I just wanted to know some others pions on the matter :D

I usually follow smoking guidelines and keep my vape in places that smoking is kosher, haven't tried puffing away anywhere where cigs are banned yet - it's a courtesy thing, lots of people are sensitive to lots of things. That, and if I'm somewhere like at a bar where I want to smoke in public I'm usually with friends that still smoke, so I'll just join them outside when they go to light up. Old habits die hard...

Excluding movie theaters (and only because I always wait until the crowds have died down to go see any movie anyway), I almost always ask first. Sometimes I'll stealth vape, but I won't blow huge clouds of vapor. Louisiana Redneck, your friend sounds like a PITA and deserves to have been thrown out. Their store, their rules. Dislike it, get your chicken sammich elsewhere.
