Regardless of your opinions of E-cigs, this is just more big gov bureaucracy. When will it ever end?

It will never end, but we should try to hold the line as much as possible. It is absurd.

I have had to actually tell people that they can't vape inside at the restaurant I work at. I've had vape douches come in whe my bar is wrapped and proceed to blow a huge cloud of smoke all over the people trying to eat sitting next to them. Then they want to get all butthurt about it and tell me it's legal.

Pretty sure not one person had had that condition from vaping. Not 100% certain but I have never seen any real evidence.

People that vape are pretentious douche bags about it 99% of the time.

At least cigarette smokers know they're trashy but aren't all up in your face about it.

Word. I'm not a doctor, but I would be wary about putting anything like that in my lungs. Just make sure your doctor knows what you're doing so he can help in any way possible.

And, thank you for not being weird about vaping.

Everyone here says this but I never see people doing indoors in public places. However I often see people doing it outside of restaurants, grocery stores etc.

For all those bitching about it which would you rather smell cigarette smoke or ecig vapor?

People come into my office building and do it. Generally, they get pretty defensive about it, talking about how safe it is and that they should be able to do it wherever they want.

I find vapers just up and do it anywhere, inside restaurants, inside non smoking bars. I'm usually like, wtf? Go stand outside with the cig smokers.

I'm pretty sure vaping for the rest of my life would kill me too, just not as fast as smoking. Being that I plan on being smoke & vape free by the end of summer, I saw it as a worthy risk to health and douche level. I don't get short of breath anymore, I don't smell like ashes, I don't have to worry about my kids growing up with a smoker dad,my teeth are whiter, breath is better, blood pressure is down and I actually drink about 75% less which has led to losing a few pounds since I'm not drinking a 12 pack of Guinness a week.

If someone has a serious smoking habit, I advocate vaping as a way to ween yourself off the cigs, then reduce the amount of nicotine in the liquid in steps until there is no more.

I'd rather not feel someone blowing their disgusting, germ-infested vaped air on me when I'm sitting next to them, or feel it on the back of my neck when they are vaping behind me at the ballpark. Stuff is gross.

personally, this:

treat it exactly as smoking. I go to "smoking areas" to do it, don't do it around crowds and don't do it around my kids.


doesn't make you trashy in my eyes, and i thank you for being considerate enough to do that.

i have a friend that vapes in peoples houses and blows the smoke and shite all over the place. I get it is not the same as cig smoke, but have some respect for others.

Thanks. And for the record, I hate vape douches too. If you treat it just like a cigarette as far as common courtesy goes, you should avoid a lot of the douche collateral damage.

Call me trashy all you want, but this is the only thing that has made me feel like I can really quit cigs for good. By the end of the summer I will also quit the vape.



That's great of you to actually go to smoking areas but the vast majority of people vaping do not do that. They just pull their shite out and hit it.

You are a rare breed. My mom tried to do this and she has yet to lower the nicotine.
