Even a little tobacco stinks up the place and cigarette butts pollute. Vapes don't do this though.

I've sat in cube farms where others were vaping. I wouldn't say it "stunk up the place" but it was perceptible.

It’s like the bad wig effect: You only notice the vapes that do smell.

I was very surprised to find that a coworker was secretly vaping at his desk. He’d been doing it for weeks before I saw him take a puff. Nobody noticed any smell.

If the vape juice is unscented, the only aerosolized compound should be propylene glycol– the same substance used in fog machines.

Also the nicotine salt ones are much more discreet since they don't need as much vapor per puff.

Both should be prohibited. The sooner society agrees to this the better.

How dare adults do to their bodies what they want!

Like getting drunk and killing others, or smoking in public places and hurting everyone around them? Yea, they should do what they want.

Don't like the facts, so you downvote them. Typical.
