How to Use Your E-Cig in Public

Your e-cig isn’t like a lot of the things that people use in their everyday lives. It requires a little bit of common sense to properly get the most from it and people ultimately do recognise this. 

If you’re going to learn how to properly use your e-cig, then you need to be ready to wield it appropriately out there in public. This is definitely tricky for anyone who’s not done it to begin with, but ultimately, it’s possible. 

To try and help you out, let’s take a look at e-cig etiquette. 

Timing 

Part of using an electronic cigarette in public is knowing when to be discreet and when not to be. Timing is pretty much everything when it comes to using an electronic cigarette properly. 

You need to know when it is socially acceptable to use your device and when it is not. Most of the time, you can intuit this, but there are going to be instances where you will need to check out what everybody else is doing.

If other people are using their devices, it’s probably a safe bet to say that you can use yours, but don’t go overboard.

Follow Rules

Ultimately, electronic cigarette etiquette is all about being polite and courteous of other people's needs while using your device. 

This means that if you are going to smoke, you need to make sure that you are doing so in a considerate and practical way. This means smoking outdoors only, and well ventilated areas, and respecting the needs of other people.

Quite a few places we have are designated smoking zones, and this is where you will need to go in order to use your device. If one is not possible, instead take a safe distance between you and everyone else and then smoke, remember no one really wants to guess the eliquid flavour your're vaping. Never smoke downwind, because you may in fact inadvertently pass the vapour on to other people who might not appreciate it.

Respect 

At the end of the day, when all is said and done, it’s about respect. You have to respect the people that you are with, enough not to start smoking without their consent. 

It’s important to remember that you are representing the community as a whole. Whatever you do, you promote an image about electronic cigarette users and what they consider to be important. Try to be considerate and respectful at all times.

So, in conclusion, these are just some of the different things that you should probably think about when it comes to electronic cigarettes. Etiquette is often a challenging thing to get right, but you can do it if you are being sensible. Basically, you just have to remember that you are representing a community, and so your actions should reflect that. If you are kind and considerate, you shouldn’t have any issues, however. There are numerous ways to smoke safely and you should focus on them where you can. It’s a challenge, but you can do it!
