[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 695390, member: 1963"] Well, it basically boils down to "your house...your rules". Smoking is legal. Drinking alcoholic beverages is legal. Using marijuana is legal in some states. Whether or not YOU allow it in your domicile is entirely up to you! For example. Up until 3 years ago, I smoked cigarettes. I did not smoke in other peoples' homes unless given permission. (I did NOT ask.) I vape nicotine. So far that is legal, though upcoming taxes and laws may price vaping out of existance, if not render it nearly illegal. I do NOT vape nicotine in other people's houses even though (so far) exhaled vapor has not been shown to be harmful. I do not vape in any environment in which smoking is not allowed, even though I now find cigarette smoke to be repulsive. Alcohol? I occasionally have a fancy beer at home. If at a family gathering where I'll be spending the night, I might have a drink. Usually, I'm hitting the road after dinner, so if its a Jewish Holiday, it's Kosher grape juice for me, or otherwise it's water or soda or juice. If we got out for dinner? Guess who gets stuck driving? Luckily, my lil' SUV only seats 5. I'm glad I couldn't afford to buy the Highlander which seats 8. My mother doesn't allow vaping anywhere near her. She quit smoking 30 years ago and has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Though its not proven, she FEELS that the exhaled vapor MIGHT be dangerous to her lungs. That's enough for her to refuse to risk inhaling it. ' You know what? That's her right! Even if it's outdoors and we're walking together. Her right to NOT breathe something supercedes my right to vape, smoke, whatever. (Sez she who lives a parking lot and sound barrier wall from a major expressway) Same goes with alcohol or marijuana. Not just smoking weed, either. That includes eating or drinking it as well. You have a right not to be around high people if it makes you uncomfortable in your home. They make me nervous so I don't allow intoxicated people over to visit. The one exception is friends or family who are on psychiatric or pain medications at RX doses and are experiencing side effects...as opposed to abusing them. I mean, if someone is taking Vicodin for a broken wrist and falls asleep on my sofa, that's fine. If someone took 5 VIcodin and is constantly nodding in and out and mumbling nonsense, that isn't fine. [/QUOTE]
