<div dir="ltr">There is no documented medical evidence showing that vaping leads to any kind of harm to the person using the vaporizer or people inhaling the vapor 2nd hand. (If you have some links to peer reviewed medical journals, I would love to read them.) When we founded ATX Hackerspace, a few of our members vaped indoors without incident though I don't know what their policy is today.<div><br></div><div>All of that being said, be sure to check your local laws as some cities like Seattle and San Francisco have made it illegal to vape indoors. So if you are concerned about following the letter of the law in your space, you may need to ask people who vape to do so outside. Also, I have (antidotally) heard of people who are mildly allergic to the vapors but that is probably not a good reason to ban them outright in a space.</div><div><br></div><div>IMO, yes, be excellent and if vaping causes someone else physical discomfort, don't do it around them. Though, the "OMG you are smoking indoors and smoking is bad" kind of attitude is just ridiculous. Vaping != smoking.</div><div><br></div><div>-Matt</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 10:10 AM, JB Zurn <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jbzurn@gmail.com" target="_blank">jbzurn@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">There used to be a group of people at FamiLAB who vaped quite a bit, and the smell bothered another group who was there quite a bit.

In the short term, the vapers started doing most of their vaping in the warehouse near the garage door, which worked for them because they could sit near the outside and hang out. In the long term, the primary vapers ended up getting a job at an ecig store closer to their university, and spent less time in the lab. </div><div><br></div><div>So some of the stuff kinda resolves itself if you wait it out.</div><div><br></div><div>-Brooks <br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 12:56 PM, Sam Ley <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:sam.ley@gmail.com" target="_blank">sam.ley@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">On Wed, Oct 8, 2014 at 8:58 AM, Mark Janssen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dreamingforward@gmail.com" target="_blank">dreamingforward@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<span><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow:hidden">You don't see these issues within certain demographics, because people<br>who live on Truth get fed naturally.</div></blockquote></span></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I agree completely. At our space we have a strict requirement that members be pure of mind, body and spirit.
