The very fact that there are flavoured vapors that smell up an entire room with their disgustingly sweet scents is enough to ban them indoors. I don't want your strawberry cloud in my face. Imagine 20+ people in a closed space all dispersing their various scented vapors. No thanks. It would not be considered acceptable for someone to burn incense in most indoors locations; this is no different in that regard, and may be worse.

Should we ban spray on deodorant and perfume too? I find axe particularly offensive and a few perfumes too.

People that overuse deserve to be talked to and asked to tone it down. I've seen a couple of instances of this in my time and it works, as most people are a little embarrassed to learn that their perfume/cologne/body spray is that pungent. Fair enough, considering that once you've used the same scent for months on end, you barely smell it on yourself anymore. Sometimes it takes a gentle nudge to inform.
And yes, if once talked to, someone continues to bathe themselves in scents that gag other people, they need to be let go. The flagrant disrespect for people who have to be around you for 8 hours a day is too much.

Indeed, and I think the same is true of vaping. If you're blowing obnoxious clouds indoors, sure, you should be asked to stop and, on refusing, ejected. This, as with the fragrance example, does not require regulation.
