By Howard B. Owens

Yes, I know it is only nicotine laced water vapor....but please, I don't want to inhale somebody's used water vapor that has been through their lungs.

"Should use of e-cigarettes be banned in public places?"

Yes, MOST DEFINITELY!

But, ONLY AFTER they (gov't?) ban & prosecute those who continue to foist Human Effusion upon the unsuspecting public.

I answered yes just because I don't totally agree with a no. Public places can mean a park or anywhere outside, it depends in what state/town. I vape and respect where I am vaping. This is governed by my not trying to be rude to others who are in my vicinity. Water mist is still not a normal thing coming someone's way and I choose to keep myself aware of that fact. I do think the E-cig industry is getting a insane 'anti smoking" labeling when one thing is not the other. Tobacco is not the same as nicotine. October 1st it will be 3 years as a vaper and I continually enjoy improvements in my health. After 35 years as a smoker I feel blessed this came on the market. Due to the ( too many to count) failures on my part during those year that I did try to quit I consider myself well tuned to what is working and what is not that pertains to not smoking a cigarette.

Public places.. I don't want to vape in a store, any closed area where others are, etc. I wouldn't want someone that drinks to pull out a bottle of some type of alcohol in a store and start drinking that either!

Common sense is all this regulation should be about. Outside, mist dissipates so unless someone not with me is by me I refrain. This is my personal take on it. Outside, vaping in public is not allowed? That makes no sense.
