Even tho I have yet to really see anyone vaping - a stranger that is - except for the one plume I saw in the movie theater, I hear about vapers all the time.
So something I find crazy about vaping is the stories of non acceptance I see on here but it seems that in my area, everyone knows about e cigs, accepts them, and even non, ex, and never smokers down right applaud them!
I have a fav sushi bar that has been my fav because they were one of the very few eating establishments in my town that still allowed smoking in the bar area. (I still enjoy a few smokes a day btw)
I went in for lunch today and there are several signs printed on bright red paper with the international sign for "no smoking". So I asked the bartender, "I see there is no more smoking, but is it ok if I use my electronic cigarette?" She's like, "Of course! We welcome e cigs! Good for you that you took that leap! Congrats! We almost have all of our employees switched over! Oooooh! Your's is so pretty! I love the lanyard, where'd ya get it?"
It's been close to the same where ever I have gone and asked if it was ok. The public places I have vaped openly without asking, mostly grocery stores, I have not had any problems.
