These signs have been popping up recently. Nowadays no smoking signs often say "including electronics cigarettes".

I don't smoke, but aren't electronic cigarettes pollution-free? ...because there's nothing burning at the end

Well, I suppose that there might be some second-hand vape that they unavoidably exhale?

If there's no pollution, then I'd have no objection to people vaping...though I don't encourage a harmful habit.

Anyway, even for the "smoker", vaping isn't as bad, because, though nicotine is harmful, there are no carcinogenic tars.

They say that on buses which doesn't make sense because I've seen commercials for those things that said you can vape in places you cant smoke.

I would rather say, the commercials are not to be trusted.

There is such a sign at the entrance to my kid's school but this I suppose to be for the pedagogical reasons.
