"They use a completely arbitrary threshold of what is considered to not have considerable health risks." No, this was done by researchers using established methods for assessing indoor air quality. It's pretty obvious that you are just a dishonest person, didn't crack open the research and just generally know nothing about this subject. "The smell is disgusting, regardless of what the flavor is. The flavor is only there to try to mask the underlying smell, which is gross." Nicotine, propylene glycol, glycerine and water are all basically odorless materials. The last 3 are ingredients in the types of fog machines used at concerts and also common food ingredients. You are either imagining things or lying. >Your assumpions about nonsmokers liking the smell are pretty baseless. Most people don't notice at all. I discretely but not secretly vape in restaurants/stores/etc. and have never once been told to stop doing it in over two years using ecigs. I have never once been told that someone was offended by the smell.

> Most people don't notice at all. No, it's definitely noticeable, but currently rare enough that a lot people won't be able to identify it.

  And very very weak. But don't bother saying that. As others say, the smell is far weaker that after-lunch booze, deodorant, BO, auto exhaust, bad breath, leather, hand sanitizer, and to a vegetarian, meat. Sure, you could sniff your coworkers to discover who ate corned beef, and who vaped at lunch, but neither is at the level that we'd call it offensive in an office setting. The only reason people are complaining is because cigarettes are bad and by extension everything related to everything related is bad, and people love jumping on the bandwagon.

    Excuse me? I know it's not reinforcing what you want to believe, but this isn't an echo chamber. Coworkers are starting to smoke in small meeting rooms where you don't normally get the smell of lunches etc. It DOES smell unpleasant, though it's not nearly as bad as cigarette smoke. Fortunately my coworkers are gracious enough to shower every so often so I can't say that BO is a regular problem.
