Vaping is beginning to take off now in areas of the world outside of the US and Europe where it first rose to prominence and is now becoming more ubiquitous. But is there a code of conduct? This is what this article is all about, a code of conduct when vaping.
Should we be taking advantage of the fact that there is no ban on smoking e-cigarettes (vaping) inside or should we try and be discrete? Obviously vaping isn't prohibited so what are your thoughts?
Many states in the US are considering placing a ban on vaping indoors in public establishments. The reasoning seems to be mainly to prevent re-normalising smoking but this argument is of course inherently flawed because vaping should not be placed under the same banner as smoking. These are two entirely different processes.
The article does identify that being a respectful vaper and being discrete could be a way forward. Unlike smoking, we really can vape in such a way that it is almost unrecognisable to bystanders. Tips for "stealth vaping" include:
- Holding in the vapour longer after inhalation to reduce the amount of exhaled vapour.
- Taking a breath after drawing on the vape.
- Concealing the lit tip of the e-cigarette or button.
