    I made this thread more about that drivers who smoke cigarettes and company trucks don't usually think about if someone else might be using the truck eventually.

    I don't vape, or use tobacco, but I believe in liberty. And I don't like the stereotype stuff. In the old days, before the health effects of tobacco use were widespread knowledge, smokers had more freedom.
    Then they became stigmatized by non-smokers and now they're limited to smoking in private.
    Now I see smokers trying to give vaping the same stereotype. Who cares if someone vapes??? I sure as heck don't see it as any more of an issue than smoking.

    vaping itself can cause issues for people with COPD because it is water vapor and larger particle than smoke. That said. The "stuff" cropping up lately was idiots smoking cheap imported THC liquid. It was counterfeit and had vitamin E in it.

    I feel that if one wants to smoke over vape. That is their choice. Vaping is a threat reduction. But the jury is still fully out on nicotine other than it being addictive.

    That’s how I look at it.

    If I’m smoking outside I’ll to keep it away from those who don’t.

    That’s one thing that currently stands in the way of the legalization of marijuana IMHO. I think most of the ones pushing for it want the right to do it outside, inside, in church, in nurseries, or wherever the urge happens to strike.
