Vaping Etiquette—if You Don't Vape, Please Tell Us Your Opinion


Gabriela

Recommended Posts

Do I need to ask my officemates if it's cool to vape in the office? Is it unprofessional for me to vape in the classroom (as the teacher)? If my landlady forbids smoking in my apartment, can I still vape inside? Should one ask to vape in a restaurant? And I can totally vape at Mass, right? ;-)

 

Does anyone have vaping etiquette horror stories? Or just "no one really seems to care once they know it's not a cigarette" experiences?

 

Have been vaping two days. Don't know what's ok...

I have a secondhand story about a guy who started puffing on a digital cigarette in class and the professor was like "uh...you can't smoke in here" and then my friend was just like "relax, it's fake."

 

I realize this is no help to you but remember this: you didn't start smoking because you wanted to follow the rules. Just because you want to start being healthy doesn't mean you need to also start being square. So just puff on your computer cig and if somebody looks at you funny, just caress the lapel on your leather jacket and stare straight back

There was this great episode of Seinfield where George got in trouble for vaping somewhere he shouldn't have.

I wouldn't do it anywhere smoking is not allowed.  I think it is common courtesy for those around you, regardless if it's 'real' or not.

I think I agree with Truthfinder. In general public areas, only vape away from other people. Unless you have a blatantly un-cigarette-like ecigarette. I've seen shiny black ones with a blue glowing end, in which case, it might be more acceptable.

 

Test the waters. Ask those around you. They'll probably be accommodating.

I once saw a lady puffing on an e-cigarette in the food court at the mall.  Smoking is strictly prohibited indoors and near entrances.  It was at a time when e-cigs were brand new so I had to do a double take.  My reaction was pretty strong, too.  It really caught me off guard.  I don't think people should bring e-cigs into public places.  The lady acted like it was some common thing.  What does that tell kids who see her doing that?  The really bad thing was her e-cig looked identical to a real cigarette which made it worse.  :(

On the other hand, you aren't blowing around second hand smoke and you won't stink from the odor.  I'm not really sure.  I think it's definitely common courtesy to not do it where it is taboo and ask others if it's OK.

Not sure about where, but whatever you are make sure you blow the vapor right into people's faces.

Don't ask for a ride and go to smoke a butt two seconds before you would go sit in my car.  Smoke it when you go home (In this instance it was a short ride, he mighta been able to walk if it wasn't dark.)

Great and Seinfeld are two words that don't belong in the same sentence.

Electronic cigarettes produce neither butts nor odor. My uptight Calvinist friend even allowed me to vape in her car.

Just get back to real cigarettes and burn bridges with anyone who gives you lip about it.

Take up crack and carry a tire gauge with you at all times. Stop living such a boring life.
