Where Do You Vape?

[riseabovethestorm]

Me also riseabove -- I vape around my nephews that use to say I smelled of stinky smoke. vaping in bed, now that IS enjoyable!

I love the fact that I don't have to let my son out of my sight to go off and have a smoke anymore. We can lay on the floor and play with his Hot Wheels and we usually end up using my PV as some sort of landmark in one of our makeshift "cities" that we build using random things around the living room.

vaping brings families together

My Boys, 24 and 21 seem to hang out longer now that I Vape.

Your opinion is short sighted and limited, IMO.

Many of us advocate vaping openly BUT respectfully and with common sense. Your vaping method reinforces the perception that vaping and smoking are the same and equally harmful. You also take a "selfish" path that says "I don't have the time or inclination" to help others understand what vaping is and is not and possibly help someone (or a loved one of theirs) break the smoking habit. Clearly, that is a choice you have a right to. Just not one that helps others or the vaping community.

And starting one more thread on this topic when there are easily 100 you could read by looking at the "vaping in public" sub-forum, is one more "newb" thread on a topic that has been beaten to death.

Could not have said it better myself!!!

I respect your opinion even though I think it is a arrogant one.

I respect your "right" to have an opinion but not the opinion that implies that people who vape openly and respectfully are doing something wrong. I don't see my opinion as being arrogant. I could have used more "flowering & feel good" wording if that would make the obvious easier to swallow for you. But I found your initial statement somewhat "arrogant" when you stated "you don't see the need" for anyone to vape openly.

I explained the rationale behind vaping openly and respectfully and in two responses, you have made no comment about the different perspective that many of us follow. But really, you could get much more by just reading the threads in "Vaping in Public" than by starting this thread, assuming that was your intention. Or maybe that wasn't your intention at all.

I only vape in places after asking employees or manager if they allow vaping. Some are ok with it if not thats their right. I never stealth. IMO stealthing and bragging that you did may not look so good on vapers and hurt us all in the long run. If you can't wait for the length of a movie like you did with cigs wait for the ppv or DVD. If you can't wait long enough to get a meal at a restaurant get take out.

It's this back and forth attitudes on vaping that will eventually have us grouped with smokers forever. But no matter what happens I can still vape in my house and car, which is freaking fantastic IMHO lol. I had to take a flight last week and hung out in the smoking section of the airport and felt sick to my stomach. I now refuse to vape around the smokers. Did this on my way back and had some funny looks from the airport staff.

Nobody said a word to me, but one guy looked like he was lol. I gave him a look like I wasn't in the mood for his BS and I guess he changed his mind. Had nothing to do with my right to vape and more of getting the last seat on this flight at the very back middle seat against the bathrooms lol. Was not a happy camper. Short flight , so not the end of the world.

I vape pretty much everywhere I go. Most of the time, openly. Sometimes (in particular if there are a lot of kids) I stealth vape.

I don't treat it like I'm smoking a cigarette because I'm not smoking a cigarette. It doesn't have the same health implications, and it doesn't have the same smell.

And nobody ever complains. I believe that they don't complain because they don't smell a cigarette, and that smell is what non-smokers hated about cigs in the first place.

When you can't argue the "supposed" merit of your position and you cannot counter my position with a reasonable rationale, your "position" lacks any persuasive merit. You might as well just state: "I'm smarter than everyone else, just do what I say and act like you still smoke".

You made perfect sense to me, just sayin'.

 

[MikeJA]

I vape at home, in the car, in my office at work, and when out on walks. I'll stealth vape at movies, restaurants, and other public places that don't allow smoking.

 

[CommaHolly]

generally, I don't vape in places smoking isn't allowed, with a few exceptions,,

I vape in my house, my car, my bed,,,,,,,

I vape where I'm offered to vape (my non smoking sister's house, for example),,,,,,I'd probably vape in a bar or restaurant if it was allowed,,,,IF I could do so without bothering anyone,,,,,,,,

I don't vape in public buildings of any kind,,,,,,,,but I vape in open public places like parks and sidewalks,,,,,,,it's great I no longer have to worry about someone brushing up against a lit cigarette,,,,,,,

those are just my comfort preferences for ME.

Why don't you just stick to the op. I asked a simple question and all that is needed is a simple answer. My position does have merit whether someone agrees with it or not. I agree with my position therefore, it has merit to me.

 

[celticluvr]

I vape anywhere I feel it would be okay, Like the gas station I always go to, but I am not afraid to stealth vape if needed

 

[Requiem33]

Well... I vape pretty much anywhere I can. I either opening vape which is common in public "smoking" areas or I stealth vape in areas that are non-smoking areas. I've vaped in movie theaters and on airplanes ( a flight from east coast to London or France is a long flight ) and I've never had an issue with it. Actually my last flight to London I was on BA and they didn't seem to care. I'll vape at my desk at work and nobody has said anything. My co-worker who sits next to me thought it was great that I had a new PV and could just stay at my desk and not have to go out into the cold.

But I've also see the other side of negative attention and people not understanding what it is. So there's really two parts to this. Either be a jerk about it and vape ignoring other people's reactions or educate them and be respectful. I tend to respect other people and not vape when smoking is not allowed unless I'm around people that understand. Then when I'm outside and people ask me about it I take the time to explain it to them and to educate them. It may not make them a vaper but I'm not trying to convert I'm just trying to educate them that I'm now doing something less harmful to myself and not harmful to them. So if they see me on a train or plane or in the office or anywhere else it is not a big deal.

Ignorance is bliss and damning the unknown is the normal thing people do. So take the time to educate otherwise the masses of ignorant will take your freedom.

I say to go out and buy a black provari mini with black extension cap and vape wherever you deem it appropriate.

I always wanting to ask this question on a forum. Based on all the threads on ecf and on other forums, I get the notion that people tend to vape in places or areas where they were not able to smoke analogs. Personally, I do not vape anywhere that I could not smoke. I do not have the time or the patience to explain that what I am doing is legal.

Also, I do not understand why you would need to do it. I cannot understand why anyone would think it was ok to vape at work or in a bar or restaurant, It is not necessary in my opinion.

There is so much wrong with this...

You advocate not vaping where you can not smoke?

Does that include parks and beaches?
The Real Motivation Behind Park And Beach Smoking Bans - Forbes

With the achievement of smoke-free environments in most indoor or enclosed settings, increasingly restrictions on smoking have been extended to parks, malls, and beaches. The number of bans on smoking in parks grew steadily from 0 in 1993 to over 843 in 2010. Similarly, the number of bans affecting beaches across the US went from 0 in 1995 to 150 in 2010.

Does that include entire college campuses, including the parking lot in your own car?
Or entire hospital campuses, including the parking lot in your own car?


Or does that include these restrictions?

I am very much aware that new vapers don't understand what is really happening.
But an education is well worth the effort.

Many of us who have been fighting this battle for years have been force-fed such an education.
We know who is out to get us and why, and NOBODY should stand for what they are trying to do to us.

I have no idea of what you are talking about. I vape where I think I should vape and no-one should have a problem with that. Vaping is not a religion. It is just the lessor of 2 evils. Where do you vape anyway? lol

I thought it was pretty clear in my response that not vaping where you can not smoke is a losing proposition.
It's morally wrong to make such a blanket prohibition, and a hindrance to this life-saving technology.


As for where I vape? I vape everywhere...
--I have vaped on every single one of the 20 or so plane flights I have taken in the last four years plus
--I have vaped in every single one of the 30 plus movies I have gone to in the last four years plus
--I have vaped in hospital rooms many times while watching over my father
--I have vaped during plays, musicals, and theater performances

Most of the occasions I have listed above I had to resort to stealth vaping, because the rules are insanely hypocritical and absurd.
And not once, in those four years plus of stealth vaping has ANYONE ever noticed.

I will vape openly wherever I am allowed, but living in Southern California this is a rare "privilege" to be afforded.
But when I can, with permission, I will gladly do so, without causing anyone near me any disturbance.
