@Christine1081 You missed my point entirely. As far as I'm concerned, a host has the right to set any house rules they want and their guests need to follow them. My point was that vaping isn't a "form of smoking". Smoking involves smoke. Vaping doesn't, so a guest wouldn't be breaking any rules by vaping in a non-smoking unit. They would be breaking rules if you state no smoking and no vaping.
And no, all vaping doesn't smell like a cigarette, nor marijuana. When I was quitting smoking, I got an electronic cigarette which consisted of nothing more than water, glucose, and some light flavoring. It had no smell at all, as confirmed by my ultra-smoke-sensitive oldest daughter.
You could boil an open pot of water on your stove and it wouldn't put out any smell. You could put tobacco in the water and it would stink like tobacco. You could put a drop of vanilla in the boilng water and your house would smell like vanilla. It isn't the act of vaping that smells, it's what they are vaping.
