I'm going to say unless I'm driving vape is so much easier to be around. I think vaping smells so much better, the fumes are not difficult to breath second hand, and most importantly the smell doesn't stick around. My Mom smokes and it is hard being in some rooms in her house, I have actually though of not visiting just because I didn't want to put up with the smell, especially in the winter where you can't go outside to get away from it. She went through a phase where she vaped for 4 years and wow, just wow, it was like being in a normal house, everything smelled so nice. The smell also doesn't seem to linger either. When she started smoking again I let her know I won't be visiting as often and I just can't visit during thanksgiving and Christmas unless I get a motel which probably would never happen and she is such an addict she just said 'that's fine'. When she was vaping she commented a few times it was worth giving up smoking just to have her non smoking kids visit more often. None of her kids smoke and none of her grandchildren so yeah. . .I'd also have issues with you saying they're being considerate to those around them I often see people vaping that emit huge plumes of vapour that can make it hard to see where your going sometimes. And if they're smoking flavoured liquids you get smothered in second hand flavour.
For me I'd rather be around someone who vapes over someone who smokes, it is considerate to those who don't smoke. People that smoke probably don't think much of it but for those who don't smoke vape is a LOT easier to be around, like by a magnitude of a million or so.
