7 Practical Vaping Etiquette Tips – Avoiding Vaping Embarrassment
#1 Ask for permission before vaping
It is very important to politely ask and get permission from others before vaping.
Not everyone is comfortable with the vapour of vapes, which may be due to personal preference, health reasons (e.g. allergic reactions) or other factors.
In addition, vaping is expressly prohibited in some premises and areas of New Zealand.
Therefore, taking a few seconds to ask if it is okay to vape before you start is not only an act of showing courtesy but also an effective way to avoid the risk of potential violations.
#2 Respect others’ personal space
When using vapes, it is basic etiquette to respect the private space of others.
Although vapes have a lighter odour than traditional cigarettes, the spread of vapour may still cause discomfort to others in public places or crowded environments.
Therefore, when vaping, please pay attention to the direction of the vapour, avoid others as much as possible, and pay attention to the reactions of people around you to ensure that it does not cause discomfort to others.

#3 Avoid vaping in enclosed spaces
Vaping in confined spaces can cause vapour to build up and remain in the air for long periods, affecting the breathing experience and health of others.
Therefore, it is important to avoid using vapes in confined spaces such as elevators, buses, trains, and subways.
Not only does this violate vaping indoor etiquette, but you may also be in violation of relevant laws and even risk a fine.
#4 Do not vape in the workplace
Vaping in the workplace may make coworkers feel uncomfortable, affect their professional image, or even violate company policies.
Therefore, it is recommended to use vapes in the company’s vaping area or outdoors to respect company rules and consider the feelings of your coworkers.
By following these etiquettes, you can enjoy the convenience of vapes while maintaining a harmonious work atmosphere.
#5 Avoid vaping around children and pets
Vape vapour may contain nicotine, flavourings, and other chemicals that may negatively affect the development of children and may cause respiratory problems or poisoning in pets.
Therefore, please avoid vaping around children and pets, both at home and on the go.
#6 Refrain from vaping while dining
The flavour components in vape vapour may affect the surrounding air quality, and the flavour experience of people around you, and it is a sign of disrespect.
It is best to choose to vape after a meal, so as not to affect everyone’s appetite but also to avoid disturbing the dining atmosphere.
#7 Never exhale the vapour into someone else’s face
One of the most important vaping etiquette is to avoid blowing vapour directly into others, especially their faces.
Blowing steam directly into someone’s face, regardless of the flavour of the steam itself, can be very uncomfortable and even feel like an invasion of privacy.
To avoid this, it is best to blow the vapour into an open area or to the side of one’s body, rather than directly toward another person.
Verdict
Following these basic vaping etiquette tips will not only enhance your image but also help create a more harmonious social atmosphere.
