A dedicated vaping topic?

107 replies

magimedi · 12/04/2014 15:47

Please, MNHQ, could we have one? I'm sure you are aware of how many more people vape nowadays & what a great way it is to give up smoking.

In six months we have had five threads about vaping see here & they are filling up faster & faster. More & more people aretaking up vaping as opposed to smoking & are wanting information.

Starting vaping can be a bit complicated & we could separate the information within a thread so that it was far more easily available for everyone to use.

Hope you'll agree & we can have our dedicated "Nest of Vapers"!

Hi folks,

Just letting you know we are here and listening - just up to our necks in the aftermath of blooming Heartbleed, so everything's taking a little longer than usual...

Please bear with us Easter Grin

Bimpety bimp Smile

Yes that's a good solution if you're nervous mnhq. We could get all competitive with the Allen Carr crowd Grin

I don't think there's a need to be nervous really though. There seems to be a distinct change for the better in the way the media are treating us the last few weeks and nhs stop smoking services are starting to run pilot projects with vapers.

Sole, love your bimp! May I do likewise? Grin

Bimp!

There. That felt good.

Whatadrama - Brilliant solution to any possible problems.

Whatadrama, that's a great idea to have a Quit Smoking topic so as not to be seen to promote vaping if MN have the nadgers about that Smile

BrianTheMole · 16/04/2014 11:19

If you're nervous you could always write a disclaimer at the top. But consider how many people this has helped to give up smoking. This has got to be a good thing.

whatadrama · 16/04/2014 11:14

Shit, what happened to my spelling Blush

whatadrama · 16/04/2014 11:13

Rowan if Mumsnet are nervous about being seen to be promoting vaping because its still unkown entity, can you do a separate quit smoking topic and have vaping under one heading followed by patches/ cold turkey/ medication methods?

Is anybody there?......... Grin

Hi Rowan, is the Topics Consideration Committee still Considering?

(not a bimp)

Bimp

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 14/04/2014 23:26

Thanks Brian Smile

not a bump

BrianTheMole · 14/04/2014 23:10

There is a way to hide threads if tthey are bothering you. Someone who is not on a shitty toy tablet computer can probably tell you how.

I'm on an iphone and its quite easy, just scroll to the top and it says 'start new thread' 'flip' and 'hide'. Probably the same on tablet. I'm always clicking hide by accident.

sneaky bump, see how I did that?

Nenny - Apolgies, but if the thread was in Chat it would vanish & there is some great info there for those who want to ditch cigarettes/smoking.

Another great reason to give us our own space!"

Wine (bribe, it means gin!!!!!!!!)

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 14/04/2014 22:34

That's a very good point, nenny, we are aware that we piss people off.

We have stuck to AIBU for traffic because it's brilliant whenever a smoker discovers vaping, it could literally save their life (if you want to dispute that please start a new thread). While a vaping topic would be great, we don't intend to be invisible in other topics.

Nennypops · 14/04/2014 22:21

Another vote here from a different point of view. I neither smoke nor vape, but I find it vaguely and irrationally irritating to see the thread constantly near the top in AIBU when it blatantly has nothing to do with AIBU.

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 14/04/2014 17:27

Grrr. Angry

:o

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 14/04/2014 17:27

Shouldn't it be pedant's or maybe pedants'?

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 14/04/2014 17:02
Hmm

If we get a vaping topic, can we have our own pedants corner?

:o

still not bumping

PlentyOfPubeGardens · 14/04/2014 16:59

Schro, I believe 'committee' has two t's Smile

(also not bumping)

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 14/04/2014 16:17

There's a topics consideration commitee? Confused

I'm not bumping for the day vapers to see... Honestly.
