Vaping Respect and common courtesy

[DC2]

We should take the courtesy to vape outside away from other people or kids in public places because juice still has nicotine in it.

Just to be clear... studies have shown we exhale no appreciable amount of nicotine.
Which is unfortunate for those around us as they could gain a number of benefits from inhaling a bit of it.

I think vaping in a closed room full of people or even just next to people in an open air space is just an ...... move. Smoke or no smoke, nicotine or no nicotine, odor or no odor, it's just not cool to blow stuff around people. I would be mad at a restaraunt that had a humidifier blowing towards me. I would move away from the dude at the train stop breathing clouds of warm air my way in the winter. I would hate the kid blowing bubbles in a check-out lane. It's even annoying if people just talk really loudl! Just like the ...... who spits on a crowded sidewalk and just like the tall jerk with a cowboy hat who sits in front of a little girl at the movie theater, you're a giant pecker if you vape in other people's personal space.

That said, if there's enough space between people and the vapor isn't a distraction (movie, live theater, etc.), I think vaping is fair game. I use my best discretion and if I was ever asked to stop, I wouldn't be a baby about it and preach my rights or inform them about vaping, I'd simply comply. It's legal to play drums with your silverware at a restaurant table, but those people are asked to stop, too. If it's a problem, just go places you like that allow it... pretty simple. I don't see anyone starting movements to wear cargo shorts and a tank top to a fine dining place with a dress code... what we wear is our right and it doesn't bother anybody either!

After a night of bar-hopping, I was vaping near an atm when a woman walked to the atm adjacent. I caught a side-glance as she passed , and she started to immediately cough, unconvincingly, as she passed. She continued her oscar-worthy coughing fit as she made her transaction As she walked to her car, I said "It's vapor, not smoke, you idiot."

She ignored my rude comment, and for all I know she had bronchitis or something.

Nice of her to cough out her bronchitis so others can breathe that in! How about contagiously sick people who still go to public place and cough and sneeze all over the place. I am a server. I have been forced to work sick (even with stomach flu) on more occasions than I can count! Vapor is just a little drop in a virus infested bucket!

The weirdness about it is, that we are still blowing air and our insides out on people all the time whether there is vape in it or not. The vapor just makes it visible so it "seems" like we are infecting their breathing space. But we are affecting it no more and no less than if we don't vape. You just don't see it the other way.
People go along in their ignorant bliss not even knowing that we are sharing the same air all the time.

Actually, propylene glycol is good at killing viruses.

So we have established that anyone with bronchitis should not be allowed to cough in public.
And anyone with an electronic cigarette should be allowed to vape in their vicinity on purpose, to try and help them recover.

Or at the very least help protect those around the bronchitis sufferer by sterilizing the air and killing any viruses.

Actually, they are the ones poisoning it, and we are the ones cleaning it.
How upside down is this world, anyway?
