Houston BANS e Cigs in public places

Smoking those dumb things is pretty retarded, so don't care. But the reasoning behind it seems dumb to me. Sounds like they don't want teenagers seeing other people smoke.

Also people that smoke the vapes that put out the ungodly amount of smoke, are at the top of the douchebag pyramid. Even ahead of UGA fans.
 
vape pens or whatever don't really bother me like cigarettes...I don't think there is much of an issue with second hand smoke and they don't stink like cigs do...unless you get some fruity flavored ones.

Even then, I don't think the fruity flavored ones smell that strong unless its blown directly into your face. Most people that are smoking e-cigs, its seems to me, are smoking the juuls or knock offs, which just don't put off that much smoke. So second hand smoke seems like a pretty dumb argument. Occasionally, you see some fancy vape pen that puts out a crazy amount of smoke, so I'm not sure how much second hand smoke truly occurs from those.

I'm not sure what Karens are asking for this...it's pretty much a nonissue for me
 
from the article

"When smokers breathe in the aerosol (from e-cigarettes and vaping products), it contains nicotine, chemicals that could cause cancer. It can also have flavorings that cause serious lung disease," said Houston Health Department spokesman Porfirio Villarreal.

Dr. Lindy McGee, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine, said the toxic chemicals in vaping can create risks for all ages. She also emphasized concern for teenagers and adults.

Yeah, the article made it seem a big reason is they don't want kids seeing it and then wanting to copy it. But that seems like a dumb reason to make a law. We could do that for a lot of things. There's a lot of underage drinking going on. Do we ban drinking in public places as well?

you can only hide it so much...teens are going to know booze, cigs, porn exists...hiding it from them might help some...but not much.

public drunkenness is illegal...so that should be enough...don't enjoy alcohol in excess in public where it might affect others....
 
Good. I fucking hate vapes and vapers
That shit is annoying

I've walked through some clouds and tasted bubblegum or fruit punch. Sickening.

I don't understand smoking cigs...but I am not a smoker so that is likely why.

a woman I work with, younger than me, is apparently addicted to nicotine gum...gives her a nice buzz and energy. Doesn't smoke, never has...but nicotine gum...

I wondered if there were people that do that. Would be like dipping but without the spit.

I've definitely seen people with the pens that put out the ungodly amount of smoke. At that point, its definitely an attention seeking thing.

I think there is a difference between a vape pen and an e-cig.

vape pens are the ones that make the big ass cloud....e-cigs are more subtle

Yet both are equally annoying.

For some, you're right, but not everyone. When I was trying to quit smoking for the millionth time I gave ecigs a whirl. Started with those Blu ecigs weak but proof of concept so went to an actual vape shop got something that produced more of the same feeling in the lungs but was still not strong enough. Finally switched to a "cloud chasing" device and finally the same choking sensation I had from analogs was achieved and finally quit smoking cigs then quit vaping after halving nicotine til it was zero.


For me it helped quit smoking and I didn't do it all over indoors didn't even do it in cars when the kids weren't there.

When used to quit smoking it works and after switching is way easier to quit than smoking and it's 40,000 other chemicals you get addicted to.



Oh and to top it all off no disgusting smell that gets in everything like smoking cigarettes. Fuckers smell like shit even when they aren't smoking
