Vaping in non vaping house

A question for the vapers among us. I always have to tell anyone vaping to go outside when they visit. Usually after they've had their first puff as you just expect them to ask or take themselves outside like smokers do beforehand.
Talking to other people they seem to have come across this as well.
So do you just go ahead and start sucking or do you ask first?

I vape and I wouldn’t dream of even asking someone if I could in their house. I wouldn’t even do it in their garden in case it travelled round to their neighbours gardens.

I would always ask.
I do vape, and used to smoke.
As a vaper I feel it is much, much less offensive than smoking. It leaves no residual,l lingering smell (as a previous poster has already said).
I suppose, in a way, I do see it as 'better' than smoking - certainly on a personal level. My health improved dramatically when I quit smoking (unsurprisingly). I had many, many failed attempts to stop - vaping allowed me to succeed. Without trying to sound over dramatic - for me it genuinely was a lifesaver.
I will always continue to ask if people would like me to vape outside - it's their house and their choice. (Usually about 50% of people say 'Yes do' and the others day 'No, it's fine - vape in here'.
BUT ... and I am genuinely interested to know why people (and there are many on this thread) are so vitriolically opposed to it? (I know a consultant in respiratory medicine who described vapes as a brilliant invention - it is literally saving/extending lives).

I'd honestly prefer if you just went outside and didn't put me as host in that position.

It's the same as smoking for me (I am 43). I smoked when I was a lot younger and even then, about 25 years ago, I would never have smoked in someone's house without them specifically inviting me to. I think it's the same for vaping ie really rude to do it without being invited to.
