Where is vaping going?

[Cheallaigh]

Stealth vaping doesn't necessarily mean breaking any rules. I stealth vape in most all places that do not have a rule against vaping, just as I did starting out when nobody knew what vaping was. Discretion just seems the best way to be able to continue vaping in the majority of places without causing any misunderstandings.

you're not the one who claimed it was his thing to vape where no one has vaped before and other inappropriate places like so did. my hubby stealth vapes, it's his style and i don't have an issue with that... it's when someone is deliberately vaping and proud of it, where they know it's not allowed... just for fun.. yeah, myself and others who actually want to prevent bans etc aren't going to be happy with you. as i said it's just as inconsiderate as those who blow clouds.

I stealth vape, but that's only because I still have my nic addiction, going long hours without makes me incredibly cranky, and I have no other option like stepping outside or a designated smoking area available. I don't enjoy flaunting any rules, but when my 3 hour flight is running 90 minutes late and I already passed through security, a stealth drag or two (usually in the bathroom), hidden from others, is going to be pretty tough to talk me out of.

So to supposedly prevent bans, you as a vaper would like to ban people from vaping how they choose and for what reasons they choose, just because you said so.

I was accused of vaping by underling co-workers. I was in the bathroom, in a stall, door closed, refilling my tank. Because of my position - 1 of 4 managers in a retail store - I would never give anyone a reason to cause me trouble. I get into enough by myself.
I was then investigated to the point I felt my job was in jeopardy.
Point is - I never smoked where it wasn't accepted. In my early years, I never smoked around people at my job. They never saw me smoke. I never smoked at family gatherings. My parents didn't smoke. I never smoked on my car or home.

I feel vaping gave me many freedoms to vape where before I would not smoke. I do not take this for granted NOR do I feel entitled because I vape. If it's not accepted, I'm a mature adult and I have enough self control to survive a few hours without vaping...I also have nothing to prove by being a rebel.

I agree. If government decides to make vaping in certain areas illegal, I'm a big boy and can wait. Not that they are always right, but I respect others and don't need a hit of nic that bad. I HAVE done it in airports, Walmarts, etc, but only on the downlow. And rarely.

My government says that I will lose my licence for 48 hours if I register a 0.05 on breathalyzer too (about two beer pints on a full stomach) but I know I am perfectly fine to drive after drinking so little. Not worth fighting or disobeying the law even though the limit is so low.

Gotta pick your spots IMO. I am glad vaping doesn't make me crazy for nic like cigarettes did, which helps.

which is why 99% of the time, i'm the DD since i rarely drink, it's not worth it. the more people who flaunt and break rules the harder it gets on the rest of us... tho drinking and driving is a catagory of stupid all on its own.

hey! stop sending your crappy weather up my way eh? oh and the show on the 401 starts tonight!

Just when I thought there was nothing else they couple possibly do a tv show on, the do one about a single highway. I guess there are enough cupcake/survival/game shows out already!

Should be more entertaining than watching trucks drive across frozen lakes for a full hour though.

Nope, vape anyway you want to ..... just do it where it's allowed.

At my place of business, all that was necessary to insure that smoking (and/or now vaping) continued to be allowed was to just not do it where I said you couldn't.

lol i used to watch hwy thru hell... cause i am from BC originally and have driven the coq many times, but it got depressing... i've been in ontario now for over 10 years and the drivers here... scare me lmfao. we're under a squall watch now and possibly changing to a blizzard.

I stopped drinking when light poles started getting in my way.

Storm watch goes into effect at midnight tonight. 3ft in the mountains, 1-2ft here in the valley.

As was your right. However, Cheallaigh is in no position to make, interpret or enforce rules, and neither are you outside your place of business.
Edit: and home.

This exactly!!!!

When they added vaping to the ban list they didn't call a vote.

To be fair everyone who switched to vaping still vapes in the right areas. Any stealth vaper would have to be non smokers who started vaping. That's my department. Plant wide it's a problem

And then there is the non-Cambridge dictionary turn a trick.

In that poster's case, I believe it's more the perform a trick as in blowing rings and whatnot.

Come on people, its not like burning tobacco or vaping is the ONLY way to ingest nicotine. Right?

• snuff
• patches
• gum
• lozenges

I keep a container of lozenges in my coat pocket and a backup one in the car. At work they have NEVER seen me smoke or vape as I keep a 24 pack of lozenges containers in my desk drawer. (get them cheap at Costco)

I hand them out to family members who still smoke if they are going on a plane ride/airport. Feedback is that they work well.

The point here is that vaping (or burning tobacco) is not the only option to ingest nicotine. The folks that ignore the rules piss off those that actually follow the rules because we've done the extra effort to be compliant (and comfortable) while the "rebels without a clue" just ignore them.

They might as well quit as they are not nicotine dependent anyway as any true 'addict' protects their supply and sources.

Boy this thread sure has gone off the rails

I vape everywhere I work. If there is a problem I don't go there anymore. I turn down work daily and am booked months in advance.

Neither my skills or myself are throwaway. If the client wants them then it's on my terms too. Freedom means they can say no, but I can too.

Yes then there's that.
Probably the only person that would ever say you have to work where vaping isn't aloud would be your wife.

Why shouldn't you care? You really think by you breaking the rules they are going to change? I care because it hurts those who do follow the rules. Why should these places relax or do away with these rules, if no one follows them anyway. Breaking them only helps those who seek to regulate and ban us out of existence. Enough people and businesses complaining about it only leads to more enforcement, stiffer penalties. Today, you get asked to leave. Tomorrow maybe you get a fine. Is stealth vaping really worth hundreds in fines and court costs? And before you say that can't happen, the city council where i live already has that up for a vote. If it passes, anyone caught smoking (they include ecigs in that) inside any business, within 15 ft of any business, or on any city owned property excluding sidewalks gets a $250 fine plus court cost for the 1st offense. So yes, i care if people follow the rules. Because other people breaking the rules does affect me.

There used to be intelligent arguments on this topic.

The most logical, IMO were commonly FOR vaping in public.

Now it seems it's just a petty argument with a malicious vendetta against total strangers for no other purpose except self righteousness.
