to be annoyed at vaping round children....

[feckoffpeppapig]

This pisses me off!! Just because this isn't classed as a "real" cigarette AIBU to be pissed off when vaping around my babies. Or in any private places such as restaurants,pubs etc.

Ive been to two weddings where a couple where even vaping in CHURCH!!!
And then my niece was making her 1st holy communion and the lady in front was vaping...

I have seen no clinical evidence to suggest its safe.So in the mean time id wish the minority who do it would piss off.

No we don't like it in Scotland 😎

Would you smoke next to a person or child, nah. So why vape

You just as well say 'Would you smoke next to a person or child, nah. So why chew chewing gum?'

Smoking and vaping are different activities. Different. Completely. That's why.

Vaping does not fall under Scotland's smoke free public spaces legislation. No different from the rest of the U.K.. Entirely up to individual businesses/premises what they do about them. Main reason is there's no smoke.

My vape and I really couldn't care less about the moaning! I have manage to give up a deadly habit that I became addicted to as a 13 year old child and haven't had a cigarette for 5 years!

I'm glad people can't smoke in pubs and restaurants anymore but Jeeez, people gave up smoking indoors with a huge fuss and some took up vaping and now everyone else is moaning their tits off about that too.
Most places don't allow vaping indoors now anyway and obvs vaping in church is as tacky as farting in church.
I can't stand the smell of a lot of perfumes but they won't poison me.
Nor will a vape as someone said upthread, it's vapour, it travels inches and disperses.

Go Police the petrol industry who poison our kids far more than any vape.

FFS, without a huge fuss.

some pubs and restaurants Nouveau. Plenty of pubs and restaurants allow them still.

I'm with you OP. I HATE vaping. Just because it's healthier than smoking - I DONT CARE because I don't smoke.

The vaping smoke really gets in my chest and I find it difficult to breathe around vapers. Think the smoking ban should apply to vapers too.

What is it that gets to your chest ohofcourse?

How on earth do you cope with smoke machines then? Have you never been to a night club or a play? It's the same stuff.... there's no smoke in it!

The vaping smoke isn't smoke, it's vapour, water vapour, although there are other chemicals in it that flavour it and it's certainly nothing like inhaling second hand cigarette smoke.
I find certain scents bother me but if someone stinks of a scent I don't care for I move away, as I would do if someone was vaping next to me and I didn't like the smell of the flavour they were smoking.

orangebird I have yet to find a restaurant or pub that allows vapes but concede there may be some.

Oh I just re read my earlier post orangebird, I did say most places don't allow vaping indoors now anyway, not everywhere so obviously I was allowing for the fact that some still do although I haven't come across any.

There was a woman vaping on a bus we were on, earlier. It's not like she'd gone hours without, as she'd only just sat down. Then she allowed the child she was with "just a little taste"

@Orangebird69 the vape smoke

@FruitCider I can't say that I'm around smoke machines! Lol. Is that a regular occurrence for you?

@FruitCider I can't say that I'm around smoke machines! Lol. Is that a regular occurrence for you?

No, but most people have experienced one!

@FruitCider yes but you're not constantly next to one. Many of my co-workers vape in the office and I honestly do hate it.

I've never even tried smoking as I just found it too disgusting and I consider myself lucky it looks really hard work to stop. Vaping doesn't bother me at all, no does people vaping near my kids as it's not remotely harmful. My kids aren't daft, their daddy smokes, obviously not near them, in house,car etc but they know and say 'that's dirty' which is what I've told them and dh confirms to them. He's explained that he started, can't stop and you shouldn't do it. I think whether you hide smoking or vaping from your kids you are very lucky if you get one who won't change it.

Try*

The plume of vape is horrendous. It's huge and gets right in my face and stinks of some horrid artificial sweet smell.

And it looks stupid.

And for those places that don't allow it, including work, I vape when using the toilet shock as do many others I know.

You'd set off the smoke alarms where I work. Which would mean the evacuation of 500+ staff and huge charges from the fire brigade. You'd then be found (cameras in the area outside the toilets and that scent you'd have left behind) and the fire brigade costs deducted from your wages.

As well as a disciplinary on your record.

Oh fuck off.

The vaping smoke really gets in my chest

Hahahaha.

OhOfCourse, It isn't smoke. It's water vapour, i.e. steam.

If you can breathe when the kettle's boiling or when you're having a shower, you can breathe when someone's vaping. It's exactly the same substance. If vape causes you a breathing problem, that problem is entirely psychosomatic.

I'll remember for years to come the look on the face of the 6'4" brick shithouse last offender, who stood outside vaping away having been evacuated when the fire officer put his hand on his shoulder and said (loudly) to his colleague "did you say it smelled of CANDY FLOSS in there?"

Priceless.
