    Who cares, it doesn’t even smell like anything, let alone in the ballpark of cigs

    I am more annoyed by stinky heavy perfumes. Let’s tell people who enter buildings smelling like whole periodic table to think about their life.

    I am routinely pinching my nose with my fingers near them and staring but they rarely get the memo.

    Nothing worse when someone enters on 0 floor and you smell C16H14O2 on the tenth

      Honestly, I was at an indoor event with live music just this past weekend. They had a fog machine (a real one, that’s not a metaphor), and I saw at least one person get up on stage during one of the performances, and in the middle of the performances, they whipped out their vape and took a big rip literally in front of hundreds of people, including staff at the facility and everything. Nobody gave a shit.

      If you’re just sitting in a corridor and chugging on a vape, I’m pretty sure someone will care, but if you take the odd puff, and you’re not in people’s faces about it then it’s unlikely anyone will give enough of a shit to say anything.

      Aside from that, I want to amplify that there is a residue from vaping, it is very little compared to cigarettes or any other combustible tobacco/nicotine product. I usually notice it the most in my car. It makes the windows look almost oily…

      I wouldn’t say it’s particularly difficult to get off of the surfaces, after all, e-juice is water soluble. I’m not saying it’s easy, just not hard, especially if you compare to the tar from combustible tobacco products…
