People are allowed to do things, they don't need a reason unless its crossing a line.
The fact that you think someone needs permission and justification to ask a polite question, one that involves smoking in front of a child even, at all is a far bigger problem. That's the logic of "you can prove your innocence" over just being innocent to begin with.
Iin both those cases a regular public space interaction happened with a person approaching another for a benign conversation, wherein one party responded by freaking out. Both cases the same thing applies. Dad has every right to ask a person to smoke elsewhere, with no justification needed. Vaper has every right to tell him to fuck off if he is within his right to be there. You seem to be confusing "has every right to ask" with "is in the right by asking and you must listen."
But I guess on top of thinking you need permission first to do every little thing, you are also so bad at defending that point you go trudging through profiles looking for gotchas to do it for you. So let me do it in turn:
I mean the presumption of innocence is a basic tenet of the American judicial system.
That was you, in response to Pelosi saying someone has to prove their innocence first, instead of being innocent until proven otherwise. The same kind of thinking where you are inherently in the wrong by simply talking to someone in a public space, instead of being allowed to do so (because its you know, public) until you cross some moral or legal line.
And my entire point is that this is a dumb question, the fact that you even are caught up on him doing it is a bigger problem with you than anyone else.
But this really just seems to be your own personal bias towards vapes. It doesn't matter if its perfectly harmless (I doubt that, but I'll concede on it), our instinctual reaction to smoke is that its bad and you don't want it around, especially around children. Someone not knowing that this special one is totes kosher and wanting it to not be around, is a very valid reaction. Especially as the entire purpose of this relatively new device is to both emulate and replace cigarettes, in which people's schema will naturally move right over until they get used to them.
And just to add this happened in Canada not America
I assume you think "freedom of speech" only exists in America too because its written in our Constitution instead of a general idea and principle held across many.

I suppose you don't see the hypocrisy.
