I’ve called the cops before, when it went beyond the point of spanking (which is legal) and into abuse.

More than a few times. People don’t do it like they used to, but some people just don’t care. Last time, I saw a woman hit her kid in the head with an open hand slap. But it was loud enough that people came around corners wondering what it was, and the kid had been knocked down by it.

The very first time I ever called the cops about something like that, a dude was literally stomping on his kid’s hand. I was too young to realize I could have stepped in, but I sure as hell went to the pay phone outside the pizza place and called.

I dunno, I’m an ex smoker. If I’m near a cigarette, that crap messes with me.

But vapers? I’ve had to tell a few off for not watching where they blow, but it is absolutely not the same as smoke. It doesn’t trigger the same responses, it doesn’t speed up my heart, clog my sinuses, our send me into a sneezing bout. I’d defer to any coherent data on its effects, but in terms of being intrusive, it just isn’t the same.
