I agree. I still try to only vape in smoking zones though. I don't appreciate when people invade my space with whatever they're doing, so I try to be respectful of others' space as well. Not long ago, I was at the outlets doing some shopping and these little kids sat down next to me on the bench as I was vaping. Their mom didn't seem to care and one of the little boys (I guess they were all French Canadian) said something along the lines of, "when you smoke it comes out like perfume" and his older brother said, "hey man, that smells good. Very cool!"

I hope the e-cig thing takes off and that healthier tobacco alternatives are embraced by the general public. Like I said, I love me my tobacco, but fuck me if it isn't a terrible, terrible product. This is from a guy that loves smokes with high tar content, too. I'm telling you, George Karelias & Sons. Those are the only smokes you need. It's a strong blend, but they'll knock you on your ass in the best way possible. They're not legal in the States anymore as they're Greek and so have refused to pay the tobacco tax. You can still order the online though . . .
