Smoking an vaping are different. Why should no smoking rules apply to vaping?

Because I don't want to breathe your diacetyl and propylene glycol mist any more than you want to breathe my cigarette smoke.

So are you also banning asthmatics from using their inhaler in public? You're getting secondhand propylene glycol from them too!

I don't smoke or vape, but I really don't see why vaping is so unpopular. Is it just "drugs are bad" again? I again don't get it, as nobody complains about seeing people drinking coffee in public. As far as I can tell, caffeine and nicotine are similar drugs with different delivery mechanisms. Except nobody is worried about high school students getting hooked on caffeine from flavored coffee beverages.

When asthmatics start leaving thick, persistent clouds of inhaler mist behind them as they walk, you'll have a point there.

I guess if you want to pollute, you have to make the pollution invisible, like cars do.

But you will happily walk along streets with diesel fumes being pumped out? I don't suppose you might even contribute to those fumes yourself?

Mind those goalposts, now. We're talking about no-smoking areas, not no-driving streets.

Isn't the assumption that smoking laws should apply to vaping moving the goalposts?

I'm with you, and I also don't want to breathe the halitosis-infused mist expelled by my coworkers. Seems reasonable to me to have some legislation on the books to require people who work in a shared workplace to brush their teeth.
