Oh wow that’s definitely dumb. I think I did see some people blowing vaping in some stores, but it’s been quite a while ago…

Non medical vapes are pretty much banned here thankfully. Though somehow I still see people riding those escooters and vaping lol.

If you think about it, vape = humidity.  Humidity is one way of smells sticking around and adhering to surfaces.  That's why rental cars smell so bad.

Speaking of cigarettes indoors, i went to Publix tonight, and I saw a cigarette put out on the floor in one of the aisles 🙄. Definitely reminded me of this thread. How it got there I have no idea.

Oh yep, I remember when you went out to eat & places had smoking or non-smoking sections. And some stores allowed smoking inside. These days when outside I'm more likely to smell pot-smoke than cigarette-smoke.

The previous owner of my sportcar vaped. The car smells really good though and it makes me question whether it was because of the vaping...? I don't know, but regardless, it's still disgusting to me, personally. Not a fan of vapes, or smoking. I was 100% around during those days where they had the smoking/non smoking sections in bars and certain fast food restaurants. There are plenty of things that I miss during the good ol days, and that is definitely NOT one of them. lol

Recently I was in McDonalds and I saw a guy waiting at the counter pull out his vape and blow smoke out. The vaping does have a smell to it, it’s more like a chemical smell to me. I do smell weed outside from time to time in public places. I went for a walk one evening a few weeks ago and a car passed by and I could smell it strongly for some reason.  One of the neighbors that passed away recently used to sit on his back porch and smoke cigars, they smelled vile! A lot of baseball players chew on tobacco, and apparently other sports as well. I don’t understand why, as it’s absolutely disgusting! In high school a lot of people thought it was cool to do that because they could “hide” that they were doing it and then spit it out everywhere.  Just dumbest thing, it’s not cool, it’s gross. I don’t know why women put up with that nasty habit.

I haven't got an issue with smoking, or weed for that matter. it's nice enough. Vaping tasted horrid, makes you look stupid, and still has nicotine 9/10 times. Smoking things is bad for your health, and everyone who does should know the problems and risks.
