Y'all won't believe this!!!!

You know, it took DECADES for America to ban smoking in public places, never mind private businesses. They didn't get the majority of the public to support a ban until they had ample scientific proof that firsthand and secondhand smoke are dangerous. (I have my doubts that the research is completely honest re: the secondhand smoke. I think they've blown it way out of proportion and have greatly exaggerated the risks, but that's not the issue here. Smoking is just plain stupid and we all know it, so we don't really fight back.)

Why is it that the anti-smoking (anti-smoker, really) groups feel they have the right to lump vaping in with smoking when it is patently NOT smoking?

There is no law against vaping, it is not a tobacco product, it doesn't burn, it's not smoking... period. If I want to vape nic-free juice with pure diluted caffeine in it, is that smoking? Frankly, it's outrageous.

I vape everywhere.

There are 2 ways you can vape-

1. Blow out clouds of vapor and show everyone
2. Blow out nothing and show no one

Which do you think you should do in the theater?

answer is 2

I'm with Robert.

I also vape everywhere. With my SD, that is small, fits neatly in the palm of my hand, and looks nothing like a cigarette. I can do so in planes, movie theaters, restaurants, stores, etc, etc. No one ever notices a thing.

Oh, and the answer is number 2.

I agree that you should not be purposely trying to draw attention and get the owners of these places angry before you've asked permission and before they know what it is.
Some people seem to go out of their way to flaunt vaping in non-smoking environments, and this will only irritate the owners of these establishments and make the job easier for the fda to get rid of it.
For now I think it best to be on the safe side..If it says no smoking then get permission every time before vaping.

Should have just called it your personal vapor.. The minute anyone say cigarette the conversation goes down hill fast.

If it says no smoking then get permission every time before vaping.

But I never ask for permission either. As I said, no one is even aware I'm doing anything when in places open to the public. And I'm not smoking. The only time I would ask for permission is in private premises, like in someone's home.

yeah, most definitely mates, vaping hasn't caught on yet, people have yet to discover it.

I went out last Saturday night, the first time I went into a bar in years. My little town (Where everybody knows your name.) the bars are pretty much dead. We only have 3 bars, one was completely dead, so I didn't bother staying there, but the other two were fine with me vaping, after I explained to them what it was. Had they denied my use, I would have just left.
