Smoking has always been a social issue that brings controversy when it comes to doing it in public spaces. Restaurants, malls, and even theme parks have designated areas for smokers to indulge in their habit.

With the popularity of E-cigarettes and vaping, the question of how vaping should be regulated in public has surfaced. States across the country have passed numerous laws that are very similar to laws regarding regular cigarettes. Although there are laws in place for those of us that vape, you also need to keep in mind proper etiquette that comes along with vaping in public.

Ask Before Vaping

Even though vaping is not the same as smoking a regular cigarette, you can’t just assume that people are okay with you lighting up just anywhere. Assuming that you can vape anywhere is a good way to annoy some people surrounding you. Even though vaping is legal, provide those surrounding you with the courtesy of letting them know what you are about to do.

Always asking before vaping in public is the polite thing to do. Before blowing vapors, assume that in all public spaces and gatherings that vaping is not permitted. If you don’t want to ask, it is perfectly okay to step outside and vape.

No Kids Allowed

This may be common sense, but it needs to be said. Do not vape around children. Even though it is a healthier form of a habit, it is still a habit that has the potential to be harmful in the long-run. Although vaping may not be directly harmful to children, it all goes back to the common-sense aspect of this point.

Also, if you’re around kids, don’t leave your mods or e-liquids out and unattended. Like many things around the house, vaping gear like batteries, chargers, and mods can pose a danger to children who don’t know how to properly handle the equipment.

Show Off Your Knowledge

Vaping and education go hand-in-hand, especially when out in the public eye. Most people in public may not understand the difference between a vaporizer, e-cigarette, or a plain cigarette. If you’re going to vape in public, be ready to take the time to answer people’s questions about your hobby. Educate on why vaping is different than smoking cigarettes. Don’t be an elitist, but be ready to present the facts to your audience.

This could be very helpful in a situation where you wanted to vape in a bar, and the business owner had the wrong idea about the hobby.
