    The US need to make up its mind about freedom. If you're free to carry around assault weapons then it seems to be fair to walk about with skimpy clothing in front of a school and talk to people.

    Yes, they might prostitute themselves (illegal), just as the person with the assault weapon might shoot people. But this doesn't mean that they can't exercise their rights up until that point.

    US needs to make up its mind.

    Beg your pardon, it was @DentalFloss.
    “The basic components of most disposable or rechargeable e-cigarettes include a cartridge containing a liquid solution of propylene glycol (with or without nicotine), a battery and a heating element (16). This latter component reaches high temperature and aerosolizes the e-liquid to be inhaled. Consequently, it can conceivably ignite in the presence of oxygen.”

    That, and in the 'early days', as the products themselves weren't quite ready for prime time, users would buy something, modify it on their own, probably based on some instructions they got off YouTube or somehing similar, which caused a lot of problems. In fact, that is why the handheld devices are called 'mods', because that is precisely how they started out, until some actual professionals took what they did, fixed it, and started selling a safe product.

    No more than a coffee machine in proper working order could conceivably ignite in the presence of O2. Ignition requires some sort of combustion, which does not occur in properly functioning e-cigs or coffee makers. As @vman12 explained to you, e-cigs have a heating element that vaporizes a liquid based on propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, or both, plus flavoring and optionally, nicotine. Vaporization does not require combustion, nor are most unmodified devices sold by reputable companies even capable of it absent aftermarket modifications.

    Now, any electrical device, whether powered from the wall or with a battery can, under certain circumstances, create a fire. But the only way to completely prevent that, is to stop using electricity at all, for anything. I'd rather take my chances at my laptop blowing up while on my lap than going back to the 1850s from a technological perspective.

    Not at all. Not even close. How did you get that from what I said?

    parents of children going to a private Christian school have money, they're just going where the money is, if people were not giving them money, they would leave - preachers and teachers are paid well at private Christian schools as well

    they go where the business is good, supply and demand

    It's better than the alternative, and for those looking to wean themselves off nicotine, it's a viable option.

    Rubbing your cotton shirt can ignite in the presence of oxygen.

    It happens. I do it too!

    One end of the coil is behind glass and submerged in a liquid. One end is screwed into the body of the vape device.

    Unless sparks are flying at the body to coil connection, I don't see how it's possible.

    I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find plenty of strange things that have ignited an O2 source, like static electricity.

    Of course. That’s why the O2 supply is grounded.

    I didn't, I was joking about prostitutes at schools.
    Seems like an unlikely place to get good business.

    Seems to me that nobody cared about the prostitution until construction caused the girls to come closer to the school. Perhaps they should use this as a teachable moment and let the little girls in the school know this is what will happen to them if they don't keep a pill between their knees at all times or, you know, they could actually try to help these women or something more constructive than demanding their safe space have a better view.

    The more direct hypocrisy here is that people are concerned about trafficking allegedly but they don't seem to be doing anything to help these women, learn their stories, save them from the alleged trafficking, etc. All the are worried about is that they have to see what the underbelly of society looks like right in front of their gated private school. Odds are they are just local junkies turned prostitute, not trafficked in any meaningful way.
