DC2, it's called rules in life bro. If they tell you it's not allowed. Then you don't do it.
If they tell you it's ok, then you do it.
Pretty simple man.
If you don't follow it, it's like life.. you can do whatever you want.. but sooner or later somebody will stop you from doing it.
You're all over the place.
You say follow the rules. Rules are rules. But, you say to follow the rules for smoking not the rules for vaping. Rules that don't apply. Rules that are not rules that have anything to do with vaping. Yet, you've already admitted that you don't follow them yourself, that you stealth vape on occasion.
Perhaps, you are simply justifying your own behavior to yourself. Perhaps, living in California, you do truly believe that being politically correct is more important than what is right or wrong.
And, according to you, if a person can't wait to vape in a politically correct location, they have more issues than nicotine addiction.
Well, if nicotine addiction were the reason that people vaped, there would be no need at all. There's the patch for that.
Excuse me for living and breathing and being who I am. Because I have anxiety issues, especially social anxiety. I'm very uncomfortable in social situations. The more social, the more I need to vape. I guess the shy, the anxious, the apparently inferior of us should just stay home and never participate in the outside world. Polical correctness is so much more important than real people's issues, after all.
I'm not sure that's what you're saying because you keep contradicting yourself. Perhaps, you could clarify your position. You're saying that vaping respectfully isn't enough? That only hiding is enough? That only pretending/lying is politically correct enough?
Please, clarify. What EXACTLY are you trying to say? Not what repercussions you are concerned about or why you believe it. But, what about being respectful is not enough. And, why those that are more anxious and addicted than you should behave like you as if their needs were the same as your needs.
Years ago, I could go to a coffee shop, go sit in the smoking area, read a book and just relax. Nowadays, I wouldn't vape in all the same situations I would have smoked years ago. But, that's not because I shouldn't. It's because modern attitudes have changed to the point that it would often create more anxiety than it would ease. So, there's no point.
Smoking was never about a nic fix to me. It was about being able to relax and being able to concentrate and think straight.
