Vaping is EVERYWHERE

Yep. I can't believe that people are so naive and clueless that they think vapes are just 'steam' with a couple of flavours. Hell would freeze over before I would be sucking on these sticks of toxic chemicals.

Agree with everything there. First 2 paragraphs are bang on!

It is not steam, nothing of the sort, it's a cocktail of chemicals.

Fuck sake.

It’s not the main point of the thread though, nobody’s saying people can’t vape, just saying, it’s not fair on other people when they’re vaping in cafes, inside bars, anywhere that is a public enclosed space.
People are vaping who have never smoked.Children are vaping, because vapes are being marketed like sweets.

It’s been about for years, there’s been plenty of studies done
it is much much better than smoking which is the main point

I’m glad you’re here (from the days of the clearo and spinner threads, back when vaping wasn’t so dramatic!)

I hate it. Especially the scented ones. I'll probably get flamed for this, but I think it looks really chavvy too.

I was in a queue in front of a few mums with little ones in buggies a while back and they were constantly chuffing on vapes. Every one had a different but equally hideous flavour. It was like being slowly assaulted by pina colada, bubblegum and feckin mangoes 😣

It's a real shame because we've done such a good job as a society of cutting the number of smokers. I was only saying a few days ago when I saw a smoker walking through town how weird it looks now. It really seems like the smoking indoors ban etc has cut numbers massively, but now there are bloody vapers everywhere and they're brazen! They whip them out and take a puff without giving a single fuck!

And all while riding a bicycle. It takes a lot of skill when you think about it.

Just be thankful they haven’t found a way to vape meth.

Most pubs or venues do not allow it, apparently.

It’s really is disgusting. It smells, and nobody really knows the health effects for the vaper or for the passive vapers. And whoever said it looks awful is right.

Those billion dollar cigarette companies weren't going to allow the nicotine addicts die. It is extremely lucrative.
Now they've millions of new users.

It all sounds terrifically exotic.

You’re not wrong. Vaping is disgusting.

Well ok, l don’t see your comparison though, according to you, there’s no difference in breathing in the same air, to breathing in someone’s vapes!
Bearing in mind, this about people vaping in enclosed spaces, they can vape as much as they like outside.
Calling people hysterical is patronising.People who are patronising, yes, exactly it, just don’t care

Vapers may as well be farting from their lungs...

Is this before or after they smear the passers-by with peanut butter?

Happy to be patronising if that's what you want to call it.

I've also said that I do actually agree with many of the objections to vapes. I've just stated that they do have their uses, if you bother to read any of my other posts. My own mother vapes after over 80 years of solid smoking and it is infinitely preferable. That's not to say that I like it, but I find it more acceptable and easier to be around her.

If that's patronising then so be it. I don't care.

They're food flavours so if you have an allergy you'll already be used to navigating around them.

Vaping around other people is similar to walking up to strangers and smearing peanut butter on them.

Blimey, that's a new one for the bingo card 🙃

They are still easily available though if you know the right places. Ds vapes ( i do not agree ) and he buys them easily.

So what?

You’re not in any danger. There’s nothing for you to wash out, like smell on your hair or clothes. There’s nothing illegal about vaping.

I despair of the controlling fuckwits that try to patrol everyone nowadays.

Our local pub has just allowed it inside. As people were in the garden vaping and the entertainment were playing to no one . They've said sales have rocketed and the pub is now full. However it's full of plumes of vape 'smoke' and stinks

Thankfully from 25 June 2025 disposable vapes are now banned. The impact on the environment is horrendous.

So people are having 50x the nicotine in a day from a vape than they did from cigs.

No they're not, any more than they would be if they were wearing a patch 24/7.

Most vapers take in less nicotine than smokers. The behavioural pattern is different, the route of absorption is different, the pharmacokinetics are different.

You used to smoke - you know what happens if you overdo it with nicotine - you feel a bit sick and you put it down.
