I used to jones for a cigarette every single time I went somewhere smoking was not allowed. Psychological thing- "you can't do that" makes me instantly want to do it. With vaping, I find that I'm much less bothered by putting it off til later. I'm not a slave to my addiction anymore- it feels more like something I do for pleasure as opposed to something I must do or I will go crazy and take the rest of you down with me so help me god. It feels so freeing. That's got to be the best part for me.
That said, I have to admit that I have semi-stealth vaped in restaurants, movies, doctor's office waiting room, hospital restrooms, and the bank. I say "semi-stealth", because I wasn't really hiding what I was doing, but neither was I flagrantly billowing clouds of vapor around. I'm pretty sure no one even noticed what I was doing, because I've never even gotten a sideways glance out in public, even on the street, where I don't bother trying to be discreet. Then again, I smoked for 28 years, so I may be somewhat oblivious to dirty looks, but honestly, I have had zero pr fallout from vaping, no matter where I've tried it.
