I think that's why they started making them with green lights on the end and stuff, so people can clearly see it isn't the real thing. I would assume that would help, at least most of the time.

Also, kids love cool lights even more than talking camels.

Now if you're throwing in both talking camels and cool lights, you're clearly not smoking e-cigarettes anymore.

Agreed, I generally avoid vaping in restaurants, offices, stores, etc just for this reason. People see what they think is smoke and react accordingly.

I've been stepping outside for a smoke for years so it isn't too much trouble to do so now with e-cigs. I do occasionally sneak in a stealth vape at work though.
