What’s your opinion on people smoking and vaping in public?

Personally, I’ve noticed that cigarette smokers usually have a bit more etiquette, they’ll often step off to the side or smoke away from crowds (though not always). But vapers, in my experience, seem to care a lot less. They’ll blow massive clouds of smoke right into the air, sometimes directly into people’s faces, without thinking twice.

gets especially annoying in busy cities. When you’re walking through crowded or windy streets, you end up breathing in smoke just because someone in front of you is smoking or vaping while walking. And it’s not just while walking, even when waiting in line for public transport, people will vape or smoke right there, with no consideration for the people standing inches away from them.

Do you think smoking and vaping in crowded public spaces should be banned or at least more regulated?

I feel as someone who vapes, we should all show the world we hold ourselves to higher standards and give others the up most respect. It is disrespectful and rude for anyone, vapers or cigarette smokes, to not be aware of other people around them. None smokers already have a negative view of people who smoke. We shouldn’t give them more reasons to look down on us, especially those who vape! We should think of ourselves as ambassadors representing the vaping community. Unfortunately I see a lot of the younger generation of vapers believing they have the right to vape anywhere or blowing massive clouds with total disregard for those around them. It’s not cool or impressive, it’s just plain tacky! I always step away from anyone around me when vaping in public. I also pay attention to which way the wind is blowing so my vaping doesn’t go into anyone’s face. To get respect you must give respect. We all have to share this world with each other, if we would take a little time to be mindful of one another this world would be a much better place.
