Have you ever found yourself in a place where you’re not sure if electronic cigarettes are allowed or not? Instead of not vaping, or doing the opposite and disregarding all subtleties, you can try and vape courteously. How does one go about vaping in a courteous manner? Well, there are a few simple tips you can follow to make sure that you’re not bothering anyone and following any rules that may be set in place.
The first thing to remember when vaping in a new place is that some people might not be familiar with an electronic cigarette and how it works. To these people, you might just look like you’re smoking, which can cause them to have notions about you that might not be true. What’s worse, if you’re in a no smoking area, you might be accused of smoking when you’re not. This type of situation can be a delicate one, but easily handled if you approach it right.
First off, let the person know in a friendly way that you’re using an electronic cigarette, which produces no smoke, ash or tar. Make sure to let them know that the vapor coming out of your eCig is harmless and dissipates quickly into the air, leaving behind no trace. If ythey still need convincing, let them see your eCig, if you’re comfortable with that, and explain to them how it works. After this, many people are more inclined to accept an electronic cigarette and may even ask you more questions about it.
Another great way to vape courteously is to vape into something. What this means is that when you exhale your vapor, blow it into something that will contain and dissolve the vapor. This is often a soda bottle or article of clothing. Because the vapor from eCigs doesn’t stain or taint clothing, you shouldn’t have a problem blowing vapor into something, like your sleeve. Many people choose this method because there’s virtually no way to tell if someone is using an eCig or not.
Finally, a great way to use your eCig in public is to just ask if it’s alright. Many times, people will not be offended if you just come right out and ask. In fact, many times people will be more open to the idea because you’re not polluting their air with secondhand smoke. Asking people is just an honest way to enjoy your eCig.
