It’s bloody everywhere and I’m sick of massive plumes blowing into my kid’s buggy. So bloody selfish. That is all…

Op just don’t start vaping and it won’t affect you. I’m sure you can buy gas masks on Amazon for when you need to walk through the 300 people blowing vape vapour directly into your mouth when you go shopping.

Sooooo…. You can’t prove what the long term effects are then? You do realise more people die of being overweight than of smoking these days, right?

What do YOU think the long term effects might be of inhaling electronically vapourised synthetic food colouring into your lungs several hundred times a day via a plastic tube?

a) good
b) bad

?

Because vaping has only been around 5 years in such massive numbers. Give it 20 then let’s look at long term health effects.

I agree that HOORAY we will have to fork out even more on benefits for silly people with lung conditions in 20 years. Can hardly wait. And they’ll say sob ‘I had no idea that inhaling synthetic food flavouring deep into my lungs via an electronic plastic tube 400 times a day was dangerous’ sob

Steamy Relationships: How Atmospheric Water Vapor Amplifies Earth's Greenhouse Effect - NASA Science

Water vapour is earth's most abundant greenhouse gas.

NASA. First paragraph. So no it doesn't help, and it is utterly irrelevant to the point of the OP's post anyway. or do you know better than the actual rocket scientists?

E-cigarettes cause harm and are antisocial to non-smokers. The emissions they produce whatever you want to call them are indeed vile.

However they are legal despite the harm they cause just like cigarettes, so if you want to do it go ahead.

Please go on, have a really big deep drag right now. Get it right down into those apparatus currently supporting your respiratory system. Really breathe, make sure it gets fully in there.

Then have several more for good measure.

You must live somewhere vile then, my city center probably has 2 vape shops and is beautiful with none of these mad addicted people you seem to surround yourself with.

My small town has 2, disposable vapes littered everywhere. They’re also awful for the environment. But I suppose those who want to inhale a synthetic custard vapour oozing in phthalates from a factory in China don’t care..

So your first post was goady, now you are outright minimising the pain I experienced as a result of inhaling vape gases. Do you always do this to the victims of other people's actions?

Or are you saying I am lying about the discomfort I suffered after sitting in an arena directly above and behind two women exuding huge amounts of gas for several hours? Perhaps you think that no smoking/vaping rules are fine to ignore like the selfish women that sat in front of me? There's plenty of entitled people like you in society today that minimise their antisocial behaviour and the consequences thereof with excuse after excuse.

You incorrectly labelled vape gases as steam, however when confronted with your incorrect assertion and the very clear ingredients that are found in e-cigarettes you resort to speaking like a child.

You carry on vaping, hopefully Darwinism will be in full effect.

How does vaping impact your lung health - Guys and St Thomas Specialist Care

The NHS says that vapes cause less harm than cigarettes, not none. Not that they produce steam as you asserted. Wrongly.

And yet no apology for your incorrect 'facts'. What a surprise.

The above article should prove useful for those confused about the very minimal guidance the NHS gives.

Instead of typing out all that tripe, you could just admit that it hit a nerve.

Luckily, reading doesn't make my brain sore.. it might yours though.

https://www.vapesmokefree.co.uk/vaper-not-a-smoker/second-hand-vaping-vs-second-hand-smoking/

The VAPOUR disintegrates within 2-3 seconds. Unless you're stood next to someone with ya big gob wide open practically vaping yourself, I highly doubt it's going to have so much of an affect on you that it makes you have a sore chest. Or a nose bleed for that matter.

You're chatting shit, it's okay, we've all done it. Biscuit

The vaping is constant. My friend is an ex smoker and vapes more than she ever smokes, it's never out of her hand. I've seen it in nice restaurants, customers are having a sneaky vape at the table, it's constant in bars too and the security/staff are turning a blind eye.

goldenretrievermum5 · 24/05/2024 13:08

YANBU. It is an absolutely disgusting, anti-social habit. The perpetrators seem to have 0 self awareness and feel entitled to blow their thick, white, sickly sweet smelling clouds of still warm (🤢) chemicals all over the rest of the public. I am sick of not even being able to even stand at bus stop without having that rubbish puffed towards me!

Funnywonder · 24/05/2024 13:04

I can't stand the sickly smell of some vapes but then I can't stand the sickly smell of some perfumes/body sprays either.

Couldn't agree more. While I don't like the smell of vapes, some perfumes are so overpowering, I feel like I can still smell them for ages afterwards🤢

There is a difference between posting about a dislike for vaping and posting that an entire group of people are repulsive which is what you did.

There are plenty of people posting about their dislike of an entire group of people on this thread - I.e. Vapers. It’s the same exact thing. They’re being called vile and disgusting and that they look ridiculous. I don’t think that’s ok either.

I always think those men with the giant plumes of smoke are making up for tiny penises as there is no need.

You're right, there is absolutely no need.

But that's an interesting take on why men do it.

Do you think women who do it are trying to make up for having loose vaginas or something?

Some other need of attention. A lot less women have the giant plumes style vapes though in my experience.

As I say, I am a vaper (and my god I wish I could get decent unflavoured juice! They're all so sweet and sickly) and there is no need for clouds of vapour at all. With barely any vapour I get the nicotine hit and satisfy the urge to COUGHS suck on something 😁

I'm a vape user who has used it to quit smoking. Turn the wattage down and voila, still same mouth feel and nicotine, but none of the awful fog.
