Vaping is EVERYWHERE

Asthma isn’t an allergy. Or at least not one as it would be understood as an atypical reaction to an otherwise tolerated common substance.

Of course asthmatics suffered from cigarette smoke, but that’s why I said it was “health damaging in so many ways”. Lots of people found their breathing impaired in smoky places; they didn’t need to be asthmatic, let alone allergic.

I just find the new-found allergies to vaping all rather unlikely.

I hape vaping but I'd much prefer that than smoking tbh.

She should be submitting yellow cards then. There have only been 58 cases of suspected allergic reaction reported since 2011.

What? Have you never heard of asthma? What planet have you been on? Smoking has been banned in loads of places due to allergies for years. And lots of complaints. Give me strength. 😂😂

In France we had our PM vaping in the Parliament or Conseil des Ministres or something like that 😂

What is it that you’re allergic to? And is it unique to (some, apparently) vapes?

It’s curious that nobody ever seemed to be allergic to cigarette smoke. Stinky, tarry, objectionable and health-damaging in so many ways, but I don’t recall allergy ever being an objection.

I'm allergic to a chemical that's found in some vapes. Not all. But by looking at you vaping, I can't tell whether I'll have a reaction to your particular vape or not. My immunology consultant has told me about increasing numbers of young people coming to her clinic with vape related allergies. I have challenged people a couple of times when they are surreptitiously vaping in restaurants, but people refuse to believe that someone can be allergic to a component of vape "smoke" and can respond aggressively, so now I take the fastest route out of the building to protect my own health. Lots of places are now no go areas for me as a result.

Of course there are health risks. For the vaper they're a tiny fraction of the risks of smoking. The risk to other people is immeasurably small.

I can’t get wound up about it, it’s so much better than smoke and actually smells nice

I should probably name change for this but I dont actually care as I have morals. When I was a lawyer for BAT it was universally acknowledged within the company that there were health risks. It's the reason I left the job after 3 months

Judgemental much??
You have no idea what's going on in someone's life that they need to find some form of self soothing to cope with it.
Everyone has their weaknesses, apart from you obviously...

Well done congratulations.
Nicotine addiction is extremely difficult to break.

Congratulations 🎊 👏

Are you allergic to specific VOCs or just all of them? There are thousands used in vapes and a huge number are nature identical. You must have to avoid pretty much all fruit and veg! They'll be in the air whenever you can smell food.

Peanut allergy, like most allergies, is caused by a sensitivity to specific proteins, rather than VOCs. You can rest assured that there are no proteins in vapes.

I smoked for 40 years until a year ago. I loved it and will miss it until the day I die. Nicotine is so so addictive but there’s no way on earth I was going to stop smoking to vape. I loved everything about smoking, the ritual of rolling, early mornings in the garden with cup of tea, joining other smokers outside in pubs. Vaping just looks so silly to me ( I guess in the same way smoking looks to non smokers). Even I as a hardened smoker can see that if chemicals are being inhaled into lungs there will be lung consequences. I don’t like the smell of vapes but no big deal, it doesn’t effect me, it just sort of wafts over and then it’s gone. There’s lots in life I don’t like other people doing but can’t get worked up about it as there’s lots worse out there

Sadly staff aren't there to police the behaviour of other adults, they're not police or security and therefore it's not their job to challenge and confront and contend with the potential agro of that.

All of this is untrue. There is no risk to you or anyone else.

You dislike being told that you have no reason to scold people. Because it shows up the true motive: you just like bossing people around.

It creates vapour, not steam or smoke, plume or otherwise.

I don't vape or smoke and never have if you did in fact bother to read anything I wrote over several posts now.

I wasn't making any comparisons at all, ridiculous or otherwise. You are though. Anyway, clearly you aren't going to listen to anything and are determined to see what isn't there. Crack on and enjoy yourself.

Yes, quite used to avoiding them in food. The added problem
of them being in the air is not welcome. It’s dangerous.

people being dismissive of allergies makes them more dangerous. If people thought about their actions it would be easier to leave the house.

@marmite2025I think the whole point of the thread some people are just vaping wherever they want, l was in hospital a while ago, someone was vaping inside the hospital.I stand by, it’s not ok to vape, around other people in a public enclosed space.I haven’t got a problem with people vaping outside, just indoors.Really don’t get why, that’s an issue to people who vape or smoke.

But then people still complain!
I mean we used to smoke inside then that went, then people smoked outside and people complained about that
now people complain about vaping outside in a pub garden or someone ahead of them in the street

You were making a comparison, oh l’m sorry just pointing out, that we all breathe in what’s been in other peoples lungs, so as far as your concerned why should people have concerns over vaping.Again, a ridiculous comparison.l’m quite aware we don’t and expect to live in a sterile bubble.
If you want to vape, just vape outside, is that so difficult.

I didn't make the comparison you seem to be claiming. Just pointed out that all day every day we all breathe in stuff that has been in other people's lungs. Just air, droplets, anything. It has all very often been shared by other people and breathed in and out by them. It is unavoidable.

I didn't specify whether that came from people vaping. It was just a general comment in response to pps saying that they didn't want to breathe in anything at all that has been through other people's lungs/respiratory systems. That's clearly cloud cuckoo land. None of us live in sterile bubbles.

Looks awful, folk walking around with them stuck to their mouth continuously. They can't go 2 steps without puffing away! Sad.

Care to elaborate?
