Proposals don't equate to enforceable law. Nothing has happened. If little Timmy can't vape at Target or the courthouse, too bad. Just because BLU said you can vape anywhere doesn't make it so...
The third assertion contradicts the second one. If Timmy can't vape in Target, when reality shows that he can, but is forbidden from doing so, it is precisely because something has happened to suggest that Timmy NOT BE ALLOWED TO vape at Target. Reality is, Timmy can still do it, and that if Timmy is a wee bit wise to how vaping works, no one will even notice.
But, as people are getting "wise" to vaping, they are also getting fear mongered themselves. You wanna go on record here in this thread and say that no one in the general public is believing bad (highly inaccurate) things above vaping? I'd love to see you go in that direction. Especially considering we have vapers who believe highly inaccurate information about vaping indoors.
It's one thing if an opinion is, "I do not like it when I vape indoors" Or, "I do not like it when other people vape indoors." That's opinions. But you step outside of opinion and into reasonable debate when you assert, "no one should vape in a hospital because it is wrong to do so." That is not an opinion. Try to pass it off as one and then claim later that you were merely expressing your humble opinion, plus feign hurt feelings because someone addressed that assertion with direct reasoning, and perhaps you'll see the distinction between mere opinion and misguided assertions.
I don't expect to be allowed to vape everywhere, but that will not change my current position and advocation for vape everywhere, because I really do care about politics of vaping, and how that pertains to basic principles of liberty.
And reason I keep harping on this particular issue which is around 3rd most important on my personal scale of critical vaping issues is because this one is able to take vapers and have them shame fellow vapers. And it is the shaming aspect that is worse, IMO, than the legality aspect. Smoking is (for the most part) still legal, but it is highly shameful. I am outright saying that the shaming of an activity is worse than the legalities of the same activity.
It is also clear from opposition's tactics, seeing that they are losing on the science of this particular issue, that shaming is the tactic they have chosen to run with. Go read any of the post in Media section that bring up what opposition is saying today, or yesterday, about vaping. Almost all of it is geared toward shaming and guilting vapers into quitting or curtailing their usage. I would say ALL current usage bans are based ENTIRELY on the shameful aspect of vaping, and not on something dealing with reasoning, science or current reality. I mean even on these type of threads for a fellow vaper to make it seem palatable that an indoor ban make sense, we have to resort to hypothetical reality of 20+ vapers in a tiny enclosed, poorly ventilated space, for it have any chance of making some sense as to why not to vape in that hospital room. Thus, even vapers (of the anti-indoor usage variety), can't deal with current reality where it is 1 vaper in a place causing literally no issue with their vapor.
Timmy may not be allowed to vape in Target (even while Timmy still could, but that's another matter) because those around Timmy have been sold a pack of lies. That vapor is plausibly dangerous. Akin to secondhand smoke. That secondhand vapor contains evil nicotine, and lots of other toxins (like stuff they put in antifreeze!) and thus if you see Timmy in Target vaping, bust him! He has done gone acted uncivilly, and must be called out for his shameful actions. Once you agree to this, then hopefully you'll realize this is why we need to raise insurance rates on these shameful users of this shameful product. This is why this particular activity needs a sin tax associated with it. This is why we need to deny employment to these uncivilized people.
If you believed us on the lies we sold you about smoking and secondhand smoke, then heck we ought to have no problem swindling your feeble mind into the dangers of vaping. I mean no one knows for sure what's in those things which that alone is reason enough to shame them and to continue pointing out how dangerous they probably are. We don't know they are, but they probably are, cause nobody know they aren't.
Bonus points (to us) if you are a vaper and you buy into our lies. Makes our job around 50 times easier. Oh and thank you to all you ex-smokers for shaming current smokers for their entirely uncivilized actions. You are like a god-send to us!
