I do, but it's my car.

I still keep the windows at least cracked so I don't fog up the place. It also leaves a film on the windows over time, which sucks. But it doesn't stink the place up like cigarettes do or leave a permanent "smoker" smell. My vape juice smells like donuts, so I consider it an air freshener lol.

Same as (considerate) people do with cigarettes, when I have passengers, I do ask if they mind.

Some rental cars have now added no vaping alongside the no smoking stickers, though.

I've started regarding those as one of those "Scary" signs they put up to scare people into complying, but aren't really all that enforceable unless they sit there and watch you (Or start putting cameras in their cars ig)

The smell just dissipates too quickly, I've even vaped pulling into their parking lot multiple times to drop off the car and still nothing lol

I get the rule for cigarettes, it leaves that nasty smell, that nasty yellow coating, damage from burn marks etc etc. but what's the deal with vapes? It literally does none of those things. Only thing is that annoying windows film, but the only time that shows up (in the time frame of a week or whatever you have it) is if you hot box the shit out of the car lol

The only people I ever actually see avoiding smoking or vaping in their cars are people who don't smoke.

Being a smoker and not smoking in your car is a thing.

I literally bought a vape so I wouldn't smoke in my car. It's quite a bit easier to sell a car that smells like raspberries than one that smells like an ashtray.

I'd say most people who regularly vape probably do. A significant amount of them also vape indoors.

I used to and the smell didn't really cling to things and it didn't yellow the walls. I did notice little specs in an almost sneeze like pattern though.
