A market survey asked more than 1000 individuals whether they were okay with people using electronic cigarettes near them. While almost two-thirds (63%) said they were okay with it, possible locations at which vaping might occur played a critical role in whether someone was okay with it.

For instance, most of the individuals okay with vaping thought it would be fine at a sporting event (58% of the total to be precise). This acceptance dropped off pretty quickly though when asked about other places like public transportation (35%), movie theaters (29%), and airplanes (26%).

This is, rather promising however. Although people may not want electronic cigarette use in situations where it might be distracting or too close for comfort, most people seem to recognize that electronic cigarettes aren’t as obtrusive as smoking itself. Given efforts by opponents to spin e-cig use as smoking, it is surprising this portion of the public is actually okay with vaping.

It seems likely that as the public becomes more acquainted with the idea of electronic cigarettes and more educated on the products, they’ll become more accepting of public use. The “evil eye” most smokers are wildly familiar with getting while smoking is not as common for people using electronic cigarettes — though still plenty common. As the science continues to show e-cigs don’t represent a risk to bystanders, people will likely become less apt to give the evil eye to vapers.

Among other statistical bits from the survey, researchers found younger adults (35+) were more accepting of vaping than older adults (65+). As well, individuals with an income of $50 to $75k a year were more accepting of vaping than individuals with lower incomes. Men were more accepting of e-cig use than women.
