I'm just so tried of fighting for my RIGHTS! I think, nose and azz picking should be banned. I think eating onions in the office should be banned.  I think eating stinky chinese food in the office should be banned.  Loud music hurts my ears so it should be banned.  You know what if non vapers are so damned concerned about it, they have the right to stay in their own homes and make their own rules there.     haha there I said it

HAHA....so true.  It is ridiculous, it really is.  Let's just demand bans on everything that bothers or offends us.  Or let's all just stay in our homes, no one go anywhere and  then no one will bother us except our family members...oh, then we can all get divorced and live by ourselves.  Let's just go completely nuts and ban everything.  The only food that will be sold are vegetables and fruit, nothing else.  It is all so stupid.  It was bad enough with smoking not to offend anyone.  But really, if I offend anyone now they ARE free to just walk away.  I have sat next to couples in restaurants where the man has verbally abused the woman, THAT offends me....can I get it banned you think?????  I don't like my neighbor who grills and gets smoke in my house every day...can I get it banned????  Oh, I bet not they will tell me to just close my windows.....I don't have the right to breathe clean air, because HE has the right to fill it with all kinds of toxins with his constant burning of charcoal and wood.  But they want to ban vaping, BRILLIANT, JUT BRILLIANT!

I ask permission to vape in bars or eateries. I have never been told no but I am discreet. On a plus note I had doctor's appt. last week, my Np kept listening to my lungs shocked. Said my early stage COPD seemed resolved, asked how I quit smoking. All I said was electonic cig and she knew what I was talking about. She has researched them but hadn't run across anyone who used them. She is going to recommend this to others, we don't have to be pushy about this issue, the results speak for themself.

THAT is great news Lisa!!!!  I haven't had any respiratory issues from smoking. HOWEVER because of all my other problems my doctors have been ragging me forever to stop smoking.  My two main doctors know I use the e cig and they TOTALLY support it.  ANYONE with half a brain cell knows it has to be safer than smoking....there are few things more dangerous than smoking.  I am SO happy to hear that your COPD is doing better, that is excellent news!  Amazing what happens when we are no longer filling our airways with smoke!!!  I am very happy for you!

I guess I am not sure what the big deal is.  When we smoked analogs we couldn't smoke on the plane either.  I personally won't Vape where smoking is not allowed.  Do I think ecigs are dangerous?  Probably not.  I do agree that until this has been proven, they should not be allowed publicly.  I am sure I will get flames for this post but I'm pretty tough.  Flame away.

I agree I'll just wait till I get of the plane that was the whole reason for quitting smoking so I don't have to be dependent on smoking. I vape because I like to I smoked because I had to.

Is there any scientific evidence that second-hand vapor is harmful or not harmful?  Do we even have any reliable scientific evidence on first-hand vaping?  I think until we get the facts, we should respect other people's right to not have to inhale or be around our residual vapor.

My two cents:
I have been vaping for almost 3 years and during that time I have been on several different airlines.  I try to think about it vaping from someone else's perspective because I don't enjoy conflict.  So for example, say you're a passenger on a flight who has no idea what an ecig is (many people still have no clue) and you see what looks like a huge plume of smoke 5 rows up.  In our current state of "terrorism" high alerts that can freak someone out.  They may think you're the next "shoe-bomber!!"
I know it sounds ridiculous, but that's the current state of Mainstream Media and whatever MSM projects the general public ingests.
So you and I know you are blowing essentially harmless vapor, but Grandma 4 rows back thinks you're BinLaden reincarnated (side note-he died years ago IMO) and freaks out.  Do you really want to deal with all that drama???
Of course not.
If you're like me, you stealth vape a lot in planes and typically non-smoking areas....simply to avoid hassle and misunderstandings.

And you said it well too

Personally, I agree.  I really have no desire to miss (or be kicked off) a flight for something like vaping.  especially when stealth vaping is so simple.  I have vaped on many flights and just keep it to myself.  if I need lots of vapor, I head to the lavatory and don't recommend blowing into the smoke detector......

I think you are wrong, and I'm not even going to touch erika's bold comment. We all have opinions but to be so bold on day 4.?...

Fact is, vaping is not smoke. Best course of action - inform/get permission from those in charge where you'd like to vape. Why not? It's VAPOR, not some harmful particles. PG IS FDA APPROVED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.

Here are your choices : 1. keep hiding and you'll find that the gov will continue to lead the sheep into whatever they say and ultimately making you a criminal, or 2, educate and recruit everywhere you go and you'll build an army that will stand beside you in the fight against tyranny. Dont forget how many people out there smoke. They dont want to smoke but they dont know that they have options. Youre lucky to have found the answer and it's YOUR responsibility to show others the way out.

Fact is, the american public is ignorant about vaping. The ****ty scandalous radio commercials trying to trap consumers into contract vaping isn't helping either. So if you want to keep vaping and you want to continue buying ejuice without massive tobacco-like taxes then gtfo of the closet already and inform the world.

Dude.
