Why are people so inconsiderate with their vapes?

which is no worse than alcohol / caffeine addiction

excuse me?

alcohol addiction is a huge, often fatal and very very damaging illness. And you liken it to caffeine addiction @Bez72

for that utterly weird comment alone, I don’t think I’ll bother reading any of your follow up posts

It's funny isn't it, that it is the blokiest blokes that seem to have the sweetest, sickliest flavour vapes!

Out of interest, would you be totally chilled if you discovered your 16 yr old was vaping? @Bez72

The fact that there s no evidence is what scares me most about vaping. Nobody knows what the long-term effects are!

Yes but usually it doesn't taste of gross, sticky kids' sweets

To all the people saying how harmful / damaging vaping is, please can you provide links to the evidence for this? I've only seen reports saying it's better for you than smoking and the only danger is nicotine addiction, which is no worse than alcohol / caffeine addiction in my opinion...

For accuracy. I’m not a smoker or vaper but it isn’t yet known what the effect is of either smoking or vaping (Asthma and Lung UK).

It’s foul. And people that don’t care and merrily vape whilst other people are in close proximity are complete chavvy gormless arseholes. Vape far away from others who don’t vape. It really isn’t hard. Or it is that your urge for a vape is so uncontrollable that you are very willing to put your comfort above the comfort of anyone else around you?
Smoking is as bad if not worse but thankfully that’s become socially unacceptable now so if much less frequent.
It’s only a matter of time before vaping is banned / curtailed by law and becomes also socially unacceptable as people realise how damaging it is for them. That day can’t come soon enough.
I mean I don’t know why I am surprised. So many people literally couldn’t give a crap about anyone else beside themselves these days.

You do know you're breathing in what others are breathing out all the time don't you? At least with vapes you can see where they're breathing😂

the point is that it’s water vapour thats been inside someones mouth or lungs. It’s not straight from the machine, it’s been in their mouth first. the machine produces nothing outwith wgat the person has sucked into their body. I dont want to breathe that in. It’s vile.

Yeah i think it will do you harm. i dont know if the statistics are out yet on passive vaping but it gives the actual user lung conditions like emphysema. Maybe in due course they will decide passive vaping is a thing. who knows.

I feel like you are one of those that sees vaping as a moral issue. When it is not. It is a cloud of water vapour that will do you no harm.

Oh lord above I’ve heard it all now! “Offensive to vapers”. Thanks for the laugh!

Smoking and vaping are my pet hates. It’s pathetic, sucking on their dummies like bloody giant babies. Smokers and vapers are notoriously selfish when doing so.

It obviously isn’t appropriate for you though @MrCollinsandhisboiledpotatoes . Well, at least not during spring and summer. Or perhaps ask to not be seated directly in front of the door (which I would be anyway!)

Your personal opinions are just that. If someone indulging in a legal activity upsets you then it’s on you to move away

I hope you don’t get any tumours ! What a horrible thing to say.

Vape juice is basically chinese industrial waste mixed with antifreeze.

Very good chance the vapers will get karma tumours down the line.

Because the world doesn't revolve around you and your wants, this is life, don't like it, shut the door or move. Whinging on Mumsnet after an event is ridiculously lame, happens ALL THE TIME about the most boring petty shit, get a fucking back bone and say something at the time if it bothers you. Rarely it's billowy clouds if modern vapes.
They should have been a bit more discreet in a school I agree there.
I'm not a vaper but I think you're being entitled/precious.

As an aside…. What was the cafe owner thinking arranging the tables like that! You enter the cafe and smack in to a table!

I vape and I don’t really give a fuck if you smell it or taste it 😂 so there is your answer.

I mean look at this shit. It's horrendous. People are even having wedding photos while making huge vape clouds now. Cigarette smoke could never make something so big and dense. Not to mention the smell. Noone needs that in their face while eating

You have my sympathies, OP

And noone minds people like you at all

Here we go again….

Why are you trying to catch OP out? I can easily see from the OP that vape smoke would have reached her table, it probably would have reached most people in that cafe.
The clouds these people blow out of those things can be huge, it all depends on the strength they are smoking. Some of them are even designed to give as big and "satisfying" clouds as possible.
And it's horrible, sweet stinky stuff that really doesn't go nicely with a fry-up. Noone should be subjected to a face full of it while enjoying their breakfast.
