I just use common sense...seems to be a super power these days...
Heart disease, like I said in the second sentence of the post you quoted.
In Edmonton Canada we have pretty strict laws. No vaping where it's no smoking - includes any public place indoors or outdoors, playgrounds, bus stops, outdoor restaurant patios, even bars. It's ridiculous but they still think it's smoking. I vape outside at work and my car and home.
Yeah, that really sucks. I'd break that law all the time, (as I tend to do with a few unjust laws). Talk about a victimless "crime".
Possibly true,then again they are so far off with lung cancer one wondersHeart disease, like I said in the second sentence of the post you quoted.
how reliable the statistics on on these other things are.
Don't get me wrong, I believe smoking may be hazardous to one's health.
I do not believe it is the cause of literally the hundreds of diseases said to
based solely on smoking. Having said that I believe smoking is probably
the single most negative contributing factor in the progression and severity of disease.
Three years ago I was diagnosed with persistent chronic bronchitis. I switched
to vaping two and a half years ago and now my lungs are completely clear.
It's interesting to note from 2000 to 2010 peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
increased by 24% as the smoking rate was declining by roughly 16-17%.

If that thing ever blows, climate change will no longer be a concern.
Because we'll all go the way of the dinosaurs.
The only time I don't vape is when I'm in a public place (mall, movies, etc) or anywhere were smoking isn't allowed. Everywhere else, it's on like Donkey Kong. At work, while I'm working, at home, while doing anything that allows me a free hand and my daughter dances in my clouds and especially in public. If I'm forced to stand in the 'designated smoking area', get ready for a fog to roll in. Anyone says anything, I tell them where they can put their opinions.
Vape On!
Vape On!
I remember when this forum was smaller.
Back then it was quicker and easier to teach the newer folks.
Now it seems there are too many new folks and not enough teachers.

Like many have said before, I tend to only Vape where smoking is allowed, at work I wander over to the smoking pit and join the smokers, same for public places that have designated smoking areas. When Im in an enclosed area(Mall, Grocery Store, Movies, Restaurant, etc.) my mod stays in my pocket. I don't feel the need to vape when Im inside those places. And even then If I am walking around outside, or if I am at work, I tend to break out my Goblin Mini and keep the wattage down and take small puffs. But if I am in my car, at home, or at a friends that is okay with it, then I'm vaping like a mad man. I guess I make up for not vaping in certain scenarios by chain vaping in places where I can openly do so LOL.
The restaurant one is the only time I've seen people get static over vaping. I see people vaping all the time in malls. They're walking and little trails moving along with them. No one really seems to care. Same with grocery store and Wally. Movies, yeah... I can't sit through an entire movie. I will blow it down at my feet so it doesn't obscure anyone's movie experience. I will not be a nuisance... Buuuut... I'm gonna do it.
Half of me would prefer to be considerate to others and not make it an issue. The other half thinks maybe everyone's delicate sensibilities shouldn't be so coddled as to embolden them to think they must be tip toe'd around.
The ongoing debate concerning whether or not second hand smoke
is one that will no doubt continue for quite some time. One can have
a battle of studies until as they say the cows come home.
For me personally it's not any study done by one side or the other
that has influenced my opinion on the mater but, what hasn't been
done if the figures estimating 40 to 60 thousand second hand smoke
related deaths per year are even remotely true. I ask myself,if in fact
these figures are true why hasn't there been any criminal wrongful
death prosecutions of any offenders. Not even reckless endangerment.
Why hasn't a coroner (most likely in California) signed his report,"Mrs
Jones died of homicide as the result of her husbands 30 year smoking
habit that caused her COPD"? Where are all the outraged Doctors complaints
to the child protective agencies accusing Mary of causing her child's severe
asthma? I suspect there hasn't been any of this sort of activity because
the evidence wouldn't hold up in a criminal court. I freely admit in civil
court all bets are off. Even so the recent jailing of that CEO? from the
peanut butter factory may lead down the road to all sorts of things.
Do I believe smoking is safe? Of course not. Do I believe second hand
smoke is killing 40 to 60 thousand people a year roughly 4 to 6 thousand
of these children? Quite frankly no. Like the extract in this article states
lacking no clear link to lung cancer we have have to find other risk factors.
"The fact that passive smoking may not be strongly associated with lung cancer points to a need to find other risk factors for the disease [in nonsmokers],” said Ange Wang,
No Clear Link Between Passive Smoking and Lung Cancer
I have no idea if second hand smoke causes lung cancer, Mike. But I sure can't handle that stench anymore!

I'm another vaper that vapes where smoking's allowed. I also vape at home, in my car, at work (thankfully it's allowed) and in people's homes after getting their permission. So far, nobody's kicked me out. I've also stealth vaped a few times where I shouldn't have, but I was desperate!
