You make several assumptions about people in your OP that just aren't true, and it's natural that people are going to want to point that out to you. There are many on this forum who aren't part of the youthful counter culture, and sub-ohm for various reasons. Further, this "problem" of people vaping in inappropriate places isn't a problem I've encountered while working in the largest city in the world, five days a week. I really don't think it's a large enough problem to be the driving force behind the regulations. Rather, it seems to be a manufactured issue used by the opposition to pit us against each other and to provide a non existent issue to "solve".
Now, that's not to say that I've never come across snooty vapers in a vape shop who look at my Provari with disdain while vaping on their $300 mech topped with an RDA running a sub-ohm coil. I generally don't travel with my sub-ohm set ups are they're inconvenient for my commute and I don't work in a vape shop. However, they're blowing their clouds IN a vape shop, and anyone who walks into one should expect to see some clouds. The better vape shops who wish to see repeat customers get around to firing the employees who make their customers feel uncomfortable. As for this forum, I think it's easy for the hobbyist's here to forget that they are surrounded by hobbyist's who don't necessarily make up the majority of the vaping population. They're usually reminded of it pretty fast.
