    Does vaping still draw attention? I have found that when I am vaping in public some people might give me a second look. There are still a lot of people that don't know what vaping is so it's obvious they might be curious about it.

    I guess it's pretty much the same as If you were smoking cigarettes. However, as you said, some people don't really know what vaping is, as they probably never heard of it before. That's true. I was one of those guys too until I came up to a random stranger and asked. That's basically how I got into the whole vaping thing. I used to be a smoker before.

    It does in this annoying way. People have this weird desire to make comments and shit about it all the time, but sometimes it's just cool questions from smokers that have been wondering if its worth the trouble. And I'm just like, well $ for $, yes! :)

    I think it draws a lot of attention because people think vaping makes you look like a d-bag. I know so many who will not vape in public because they called names. There's a lot of vape hate going on. Especially, hate for people who vape to look cool instead of to quit smoking.

    I think that vaping draws a lot of attention for several different reasons. First off, I know when I was new to it just the look of it made me look over and then of course you have to factor in the always assuming that people are smoking weed out of them. That certainly draws the attention especially if you are in a car. There is also the curiosity factor, though, where people just want to know what it is and what it looks like.

    I think that vaping definitely draws attention. Whenever I am using the vape in public, people seem to stare at me. What blows my mind about this is that they won't give someone smoking a cigarette a second look, but will give me dirty looks continuously. I think a lot of people are ignorant as to what vaping is and what it involves. I've had people ask me if it was to smoke meth due to the amount of clouds it makes. That was a bit funny to me, but then it occurred to me that people might think I'm doing something other than smoking nicotine. I try to educate people when they stare- at least if they make the effort to ask.

    Absolutely, perhaps even more so than smoking nowadays. You'll often be met by the same amount of vitriol, depending on where you are.

    Those people are annoying.
    I can't put my finger on exactly what it is, but there is SOMETHING about someone who vapes just for the look of that makes them stand out.
    I don't know what but I swear I can spot them a mile away.

    I don't understand were all this hate comes from, when people smoke they don't get half the amount of flak. Why do people do it when people vape, it doesn't make sense.

    I started vaping about a year ago I have friends who've been vaping before anyone knew it existed. When I saw them I was definitely curious. Once I started I noticed a lot of people staring at me and asking me about it. I do agree a lot of people still don't know what vaping is and it draws a good amount of attention.

    Where we vape in Massachusetts, it barely attracts attention. People often see the smoke and think that it is cigarettes, but pretty much no attention values are present.

    I don't think that it draws as much attention as smoking does, but at the same time people still don't want it around them.

    Well, if your in an area where vaping is not commmon knowledge, then yes, you will get attention from vaping...Some may be just curious about it, for others....Well, it may be that their just plain haters...But whatever the case may be....I think vaping is very cool, and it helps out smokers who are aware of health risks, and at the end of the day, that is the only thig that matters!

    It does not matter if vaping draws attention because your life is your choice. How long are you going to give your haters power over you? How long are you going to care about people who do not care about you. You need to be your self even if you will be criticized.

    Yes, you are right. Vaping may give you second looks because most of the people are not even aware this device and even in today's world, more than half of the people use cigars and that's why vaping may draw attention. You don't need to care about them. Just continue vaping. You should be proud be a vaper (and not a smoker).

    I don't, tobacco has been around for a long time and everyone knows someone that smokes. Vaping has been around for a very small amount of time so smoking has a very big head start in relation to vaping. Lets hope that changes soon.

    In most of the countries of today's society, yes, it draws a lot of attention as people tend to look at someone vaping as a hipster. Lots of them still believe that when someone is vaping they are getting drugged somehow. However, in about 10 years, I believe that vaping will be looked to as usual as cigarettes are looked at nowadays.

    Yes, the condition will definitely change. Technology is expanding in our world at a faster rate than ever. The Internet is the only media with maximum priority to make the people aware. This forum is also contributing it's best to expand vaping and this forum is also helping the cigar addicts to switch to vaping.
