To say those who vape in shops…

…are scummy scruffy tramps?

Same goes for vaping in any other indoor public space which is non smoking. Are they so stupid to think it’s actually allowed? Or are they just belligerent skanks who have no sense of respect for anyone else?

It’s grim enough walking into those stinky poison clouds outside but at least they’re outdoors but inside- eugh it’s just rough.

rant over 😏

I was hoping that vaping would be a fad, but it seems some people really are intent on walking around in a cherry scented fug. And vape shops presumably make a good living from the money they launder...

What is Mumsnets obsession with moaning about vapes and calling them adult dummies? Never heard it anywhere else.

Who knows????

fashionqueen0123 · 28/11/2024 23:02

Chavvy and smelly at best but I’ve never seen anyone do it inside?
Did have a man walk past this morning who was puffing out some kind of candy floss smell. Pretty odd for a grown man to be addicted to that.

Letmegohome · 28/11/2024 22:58

There was a charming gentlemen vaping in b&m the other day, he was told not to vape by a member of staff, he looked at her and said "who the fuck do you think you are to tell ME not to fucking vape, you fucking ASK ME" trying to be intimidating whilst puffing on a pink and yellow battery thing smelling like (what I presume a unicorn fart would smell like) strawberry cotton candy in the children's Christmas toy section. What a div 😂

I smoke cigarettes, I know I know. I wouldn't dream of smoking near anyone else. Usually confined to the bottom of my garden so not judging Valera but no, it's not ok to waft out your dunes around anyone else.

SassK · 28/11/2024 22:49

I've never saw anyone vaping in a shop 🤨
Vapists outside don't bother me, some of the vapours smell quite nice.
It's a shame the young team has moved to monopolise them, because they're actually an amazing tool for getting people off tobacco.

WhatsTheEffingPoint · 28/11/2024 22:48

Agreed, you wouldn't light up a cigarette so don't whip out your vape! Even when outside I find people just vape when stood in a crowd, they wouldn't do that with a cigarette. And what is with the 'flavours' sweet, sickly smelling crap, it makes me feel sick.

Last week a friend was vaping and kept blowing out huge puffs of smoke, I warned him if he carried on i was going to throw it away, he thought he was big and clever and blew it purposely in my direction! That vape was out his mouth and chucked in the bin quicker then he knew what to do!

aphrodites · 28/11/2024 22:33

They're everywhere and it's a nuisance but it's just overlooked it seems.

EllieRosesMammy · 28/11/2024 22:32

I work for a big pub chain as a supervisor in the kitchens and last year I transferred to a different one. I was stood in the kitchen with the other chefs one day when they all started vaping. I was like "is this a joke?? Go outside" - their response was "it's only a vape", baring in mind we don't allow customers to vape inside the pub why would the kitchen staff think it's acceptable to vape in the kitchen?! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Needless to say that stopped very soon after me arriving😅

They’ve 100% been marketed for children.

I hate seeing it too, but this was always the goal.

Show quote history

Its wrong. They're not good for you. I can guarantee they'll be getting hold of ones with nicotine

TheChosenTwo · 28/11/2024 22:30

I’ve got an electric cigarette, it doesn’t have a ‘flavour’ and it doesn’t smell!
I still don’t use it in any enclosed public space just because I think it’s rude (and obviously banned for the most part).
I hate walking into a plume of watermelon or candy floss but I do hate real cigarette smoke more.

yohohoCrimbo · 28/11/2024 22:30

Vile.
Agree with you 100% OP.

ICarriedTheWatermelon · 28/11/2024 22:27

I had one in front of me in the school queue a few months back🙄. Absolutely gross.

It's grim regardless and you shouldn't vape in shops, that's massively antisocial 🤢

Show quote history

Oh I know full well it is not permitted in shops, not should it be. It's just that the vapour was described as 'poison' so I'm wondering if it is harmful to health.

AllHisCaterpillarFriends · 28/11/2024 22:21

Makes me laugh when people are so judgemental about children having dummies or sucking thumbs and they are surgically attached to sucking on a vape.
