The problem I have seen so far with vaping is that people doing it do not have to use any designated areas and are blowing smoke all over the place with the excuse that it is simply water vapor.
Even if that is true, you are puffing nicotine into people’s faces that don’t want it. People can handle gum, spitting, nose picking, etc as long as they are not involved in the process (i.e. gum stuck to every hand rail). That’s the problem I see with vaping. Whether it is dangerous or not, the vapor engulfs everyone around you and people will be complaining.
That’s because there is this whole weirdo culture that tries to get the biggest cloud of smoke going. It’s like a hobby like gearheads or something. Some of those clouds don’t look like they could come out of humans, I keep looking around to see what car has the blown gasket.

Better stay out of the kitchen then; water vapor all over the place. Vaping nicotine free would distress you just as much; because "it's the right" PC thing to do.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences.” -- C. S. Lewis
