I live in NYC and I pretty much vape outside wherever I want to. I walk my dog in Central Park and I vape away without any hassle, ditto for Riverside Park, dog parks etc. I've encountered no issue. The only indoors places I vape at are my work and my institute. So far as stores and restaurants are concerned, I just wait till I get outside. Its crossed my mind that the cops might think I am getting high, especially when my carto goes snap, crackle and pop. But I figure I have good karma so the thought doesn't stop me from vaping.
