The issue of vaping is not the meat of this proposal. I think the goal of this commission is to ban offshore oil drilling forever, and tying it to the totally unrelated issue of vaping is hedging their bet on getting it passed. With the unrest in the middle east, and rising gas and energy prices, we should all leave this issue up to the legislature, because in the very near future we may have to start drilling. Most of the other issues this commission is putting on the ballot should be handled by statute instead of constitutional amendment, and for this reason I am voting against all of them.

Not nearly bad as cigarette smoke, but vape vapor still stinks to non-smokers/vapers and it likely has some of the same health hazards as any smoke or vapor. I don’t care what you do in the privacy of your own home or vehicle, but I do not want it around me. Both of these amendments pass the commonsense test and should easily pass.

I would rather people vape than smoke. There is a person that vapes in my office and the scent makes me cough and sneeze. I have asked this person to refrain but they refuse to stop. What is wrong with asking them to go outside to vape? Find a spot on the other side of the smokers and have at it. Pass the law please!!

I agree with you Don Neese. To Kay It is just as rude to vape in public as it is to smoke. I do not like to smell it. It is still second hand, and it is gross. I will vote to ban it. My lungs My right to keep them pollution free.

Vaping in the office should be banned. I’m a smoker and don’t smoke indoors. Even if it was allowed I wouldn’t. I tried vape — it dries out my eyes an gives me headaches. People who vape in the office are not only inconsiderate of others, but it’s obnoxious and smells terrible. And despite what others think, it still contains nicotine in most cases, so why should it be allowed indoors?

there is nothing wrong with a vapor cigs.i been doing it along time and never felt better in my life.yes its a way to get off cigs.and im proud of people that got off nicotine ad harsh chemicals that are in cigs. what wrong with a flavoed vapor? people that dont do it yes is against it but i bet the familes that who was in second hand smoke are proud their love ones are doing it.i do agree in eating places and stores not to be smoked but outside in public i see theres nothing danger about it.

I don’t care if people vape or don’t vape. But having their vape settle on my food is kinda like me spitting tobacco juice and it splattering on their plate.

I disagree with banning people from vaping in public places. The vape smoke isn’t nearly as bothersome as someone standing there and smoking a real cigarette, which people still smoke in public as well.
