Vaporizer users segregated with smokers at FedEx Field - Violation of Americans with Disabilities Act?

This is, in fact, the point I have been trying to point out.

And the point many of us are making is that acting like vaping and smoking are the same thing sends the wrong message about vaping to the uninformed. vaping openly most places but respectfully and with common sense and being well prepared to educate the uninformed is the position many of us take.

Exactly.

Vapers, many of who are proud ex-smokers and want nothing to do with smoking, don't belong in the smoking section. If you wanna be in smoking section cause you see it as place to educate or congregate and thus presumably smoke doesn't bother you, that's great. But a blanket rule that says this is only legitimate public place for vapers makes very little sense given what we are exhaling, what we wish to no longer be around, what our life long experience is with both, and what little harm there is in secondhand vapor.

A property owner's choice to ban vaping on premises is tolerable as it is plausibly amendable. A local (or state's) government's ban on vaping in public is unacceptable, IMO. It is saying vaping and smoking are the same thing. Once that is established, all regulations that currently are in place for smoking would then make sense, to non-vapers, to be same regulations for vaping. Bye bye flavors. Bye bye small vendors. Bye bye common sense.
