Smoking/Vaping Question

[Heart It Deep]

When searching for a provider I filter for providers who say "no" for smoking.  

Booked with a provider whose profile said no smoking.  

In session he was vaping a CBD pen constantly, encouraged me to do so.  I declined.  The provider breathed his "out vape" smoke into my mouth while kissing.  

 

Is it normal now for people not to consider Vaping "smoking?"  

 

Has anyone else experienced this?  It made me uncomfortable, but I because of the nature of the session, I didn't feel comfortable saying anything to the provider at the time or after. 

 

Thoughts?

Vaping....  Just like smoking, only somehow less attractive.

Yes, it's increasingly common for people, especially the younger, to not consider vaping the same as smoking, even though both have health implications. The distinction is more cultural and perceptual than scientific.

I hired a provider and he came to my hotel.  His profile said "No" to smoking.  After he walked in he proceeded to pull out his vape pen and take a long hit.  I told him very pointedly to not do that as I don't like it and there is charge for anyone caught smoking or vaping in a room.  

Well.

He went on a rant about how I did not understand the science of vaping, how it is 180 degrees different from smoking, that whatever I see exhaled is ONLY water vapor - absolutely nothing more - and that he had the right to vape whenever and wherever he pleased.  He proceeded to then pull out his vape pen again and blow it in my face and say "see only water vapor".    My response was very straightforward "See, there is the door, leave."

 

Smoking and vaping are two of the key reasons that I pretty much never kiss a provider....just bad oral hygiene is the other.  Its also why I keep altoids near me at all times and a unopened toothbrush....if your breath can peel the paint off a wall, you need to down the entire tin and/or go brush very well.

Some idiots convince themselves that vaping isn't smoking, so yes, it doesn't surprise me that something like what you wrote happens. I've heard people talking that nonsense, I have witnessed, and also have witnessed people vaping in places where smoking isn't allowed because "I'm not smoking, I'm vaping", having to get thrown out by security.

Oddly enough, it doesn’t bother me that much, although it rarely happens when I’m in a session.

At my workplace when vaping was first catching on, a couple of guys who sat near me started vaping at their desks (unbeknownst to be at the time since I didn't see this happening).  I started noticing a noxious chemical smell and initially thought it was just odor left behind from some cleaning fluid, but given that it came and went and came back again, that didn't make sense to me.  Sometimes the pollution was so bad that my eyes would hurt.  I quickly put two and two together and had management send out a clarifying email that "no smoking in the office" also included "no vaping in the office."  I guess if you're used to inhaling something, you might not notice that what's being exhaled is not just water vapor.  Sort of how you can smell alcohol on someone's breath if you haven't been drinking but not if you've also been imbibing.

I’d you’re the host, you set the rules in your place. Inform the visitor ahead. You can end the session and ask him to leave if he has disregarded your request. 

if you travel, you might need to be prepared to end the session and leave if the behavior is a problem.  

I personally am not sensitive to vape-produced gas/vapor like I am to burning tobacco. So far, I’m lucky the issue hasn’t been a deal-breaker. 

If I knew I had a serious reaction to pets, odors, smoke, vapes, incense, candles, Febreeze- whatever - it would be up to me to disclose to the provider ahead of time if I expect to not forfeit some money if those issues are not accommodated.

Thanks everyone for your helpful responses.  I guess in the future I'll just have to stand my ground.  But I feel less idiotic now.

Of course, you should always stand your ground, but you must be open-minded too.  I'm a hard no on smoking (the incendiary kind) because the smell and taste just can't be masked, but vaping often doesn't have the same issue.  My most recent hire was a young man who vaped during our session.  Initially that put me off somewhat, but on reflection it didn't interfere with our activities and the residual odor was not significant or unpleasant.  It was certainly less intrusive than a cologne used by an escort.  I wouldn't want to meet an escort who couldn't put his vape down, but going forward an escort who  takes an occasional puff won't be an issue for me.

That's a great point of view.
