Asshole wieners like you are a PITA, you know that second-hand vape is harmless but need to bitch about it anyway. What do you do when there is a brush-fire in your area, go into your hyperbolic chamber and wait it out?.

Prove it. Prove it before you inflict your drug on other people. It took decades to get the current meager legal restrictions on smokers. Fuck if we'll put up with the same shit all over again because asswipes want to inflict their drugs on others.

I don't see a problem with people vaping in public. Those of you who bitch about it, do you care if people smoke a joint near you? Do you care if people vape weed?

People also like going to hookah places, same concept can be said about that. People complain just because they can. No one should take it personally.
It's my personal body that is being impacted by other people's filthy habits so I will take it personally.

People who smoke weed in public should be jailed. Just as people who smoke tobacco in public should be jailed. Maybe bring back public flogging to save jail costs.

I'm all for pot/vape/tobacco being legal but not legal to inflict on others. Do onto yourself as you wish, but keep your shit away from other people. It's pretty simple.

It doesn't matter to me because I never do it around other people. I use the device twice a day in my car to and from work.

Bingo. And I agree, it is impossible to prove second hand vapors are harmless since there are so many varieties of the liquid you put in the dang things. If there's THC in the liquid you can't expect me to believe zero THC comes out secondhand.

Mosul may just be the city for you :biggrin:

that's about the only thing I agree with when it comes to islamists. There are no cigarette butts on the ground in Mosul these days.

At some point we may know the answer. Unfortunately, right now, we don't know the harmfulness of vaping. It is unregulated and anyone's guess. Right now, we just have people who do it harping that it's fine with no real evidence proving that (just saying the ingredients isn't exactly proof).

Everyone I know that uses them uses the ones with drugs. Ok...there's others that don't have that? Whatever, I still don't need to partake in your habbit.

Ya know...water is harmless I'll just spew it on you randomly whenever. No problems right?

Are you considering nicotine a "drug"?, well technically your right, but I know of no one that uses their gear to get "high' from vaping and kids are gonna be kids, if all vaping gear were made illegal tomorrow is anyone foolish enough to think that would stop fools from experimenting with the latest "chemical of the month" that comes along?. As for my "habbit" it would be impossible for you to ingest enough vapor to get nicotine in your system because someone was vaping in the same room. If your that paranoid you might as well stay indoors, if a garbage truck or bus comes along you might fall over in wrenching agony!.

There is probably a minute amount that "might" be detectable but your not going to fail a drug test because of someone else's vaping just like your not going to get addicted to nicotine either. You must be one of those people that walks around with a respirator mask 24/7.

But we don't want to breathe your crap. You should be required to wear a special suit that contains all of your crap inside it if you want to smoke in public.

You already are. You breathe out much more water vapor every day. You're also removing oxygen and concentrating CO2. Thanks a lot, jerk! Now I have to breathe your tainted atmosphere.
"If you can smell it, you've been exposed."


You smell the trash truck when it drives by. Does that mean you've been rolling around in it?

But we don't want to breathe your crap. You should be required to wear a special suit that contains all of your crap inside it if you want to smoke in public.


Great. So we can't poop in public either?!

Can you prove that non-zero THC is harmful?

Laws do not directly define what is legal. They define what is illegal and, in course, determine what is legal by limitations. Your liberties are supposed to be unlimited until they infringe on the liberties of others, therefore, the burden of proof that it is harmful falls on YOU. With no reason to think otherwise there is no justification for this vitriolic response.

Note: I've never smoked, never vaped, and never toked. My reasoning is pure logic and not bias.

Ya, the article is rubbish.

But
1) No one know if vaping is safe. There are oils involved. So basically, you are inhaling oil. Sounds as healthy as inhaling smoke from a grease fire. Something I also would not do daily.
2) Cigarette companies own these e vapors. They are targeting kids in ads! They are for quitting smoking, not starting!

These things should be by prescription only in order to quit smoking.

Like I said, I have no issue. Why should I have an issue?

Because having an issue would not support your argument. So even though you know it is wrong, you are one of those people that will do anything to support your argument instead of having an intelligent rational discussion? Isn't that what trolling is?

THC is an easy example. The fact remains that since you have no idea what is in any of the oils there may be harmful substances. Ignorance is not bliss.

I went down from 12mg nicotine to 6, then to 4, and now I'm on 2. Pretty soon I probably will not need it any more.
