As a non-smoker who can't stand the smell, and hate smoking with a passion, I for one would rather people vape all day. At least it's only affecting their health then.
But yeah, banning all of it (with priority on getting rid of the real cigarettes that cause others' harm) in public spaces would be my preference.

The misinformation that's going around is basically "No one has had time to conduct a long term study and prove it's dangerous so it must be safe!"
- function_seven 7y ago> if their vape is mis-tuned and producing ash That's not a thing. Are you thinking of heated vaporization of tobacco leaf? Because what "vaping" is today is a liquid that's atomized by a heating element, not solid matter. There can't be ash from glycerin and propelyne glycol
- casiotone 7y agoIt's technically possible for the wick and the VOCs in the flavorings to burn in a vape that reaches too high a temperature. However: the exposure to VOC is vastly less than you would receive when, say, standing over a wok preparing stir fry. It should be noted that many vapes, including Juul, use temperature regulation and it's highly unlikely that they would produce a burnt wick.
