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.

Not all vapers cloud chase and not all vapers use sweet smelling e-liquid.

I have a lung complaint (RADS) and vaping causes a reaction not unlike an asthma attack. So all you sneaky vapers maybe give a thought to those who you are affecting, especially children, it's no different for me and others as real cigarettes smoke.

Dear god. The ignorance on here is jaw dropping.

Whoever asked why would you vape in places you're not allowed to smoke? Er...because you're not allowed to smoke there. You are allowed to vape. Because smoking is bad for people, full of carcinogens etc. Vaping isn't. The odd whiff of some vape you don't like will do you less harm than inhaling someone's cheap nasty perfume or deodorant.

I think vaping is fantastic and is going to save a lot of lives. Some people just like to have something spurious to moan about.

Obviously doing it in church is ill-mannered.

Vapour will NOT set of a smoke detector.

The clue is in the name. I call complete BS on that story in terms of a vape cloud being the source of the evacuation. A cloud of smoke and a cloud of vape are two different things.

PickAChew · 02/09/2017 23:05

Those scents carried on vape clouds aren't just water. They're just as irritating to people who are sensitive to such things as the scent from a plug in or someone's obnoxious perfume.

We had a signed statement from the fire officer (fire brigade) for the disciplinary. The alarm was triggered by the toilet sensor and when they went in it stank of candy floss vape liquid. It's a vape and smoke free building so the individual (who admitted it during the meeting) was breaking the rules anyway.

OhOfCourse · 02/09/2017 23:14

@PollyFlint thanks doctor.

Sallystyle · 02/09/2017 23:20

Bollocks does it set off fire alarms.

Where I work we have very sensitive fire alarms. I caught two people vaping in their room recently and the alarms did not go off. I have vaped near countless smoke alarms and it doesn't set them off.

Stank of Candy Floss Thanks You do realise the smell lasts for seconds and by the time the time the fire brigade arrived the smell would have gone? Well certainly enough that the room did not stink of vape.

Sallystyle · 02/09/2017 23:21

Thanks was meant to be Grin

Maryof1993 · 02/09/2017 23:30

It would possibly set off a fire alarm if you directly exhaled into a sensor. We have cleaners at work accidently setting off fire alarms by spraying air fresheners in the vicinity of sensors

Orangebird69 · 03/09/2017 00:02

I'm sitting in my fairly small sitting room, vaping away. No alarms ringing here. And I know they work as they quite happily go off when I'm grilling bacon.

feckoffpeppapig · 03/09/2017 00:05

Do you vapers want a pat on the back because now you do not smoke? get stuffed...

What's cloud chasing?

SerfTerf · 03/09/2017 00:06

You sound more delightful with every post OP Hmm

paxillin · 03/09/2017 00:09

Told this story on here recently... we had a stealthy vaper in the office for ages. Nobody suffered any headaches or coughs. Then an out and proud vaper joined. Two people got headaches from it. Out and proud vaper was told to stop and became stealthy vaper number 2. Vaper 1 continued. Headaches disappeared.

feckoffpeppapig · 03/09/2017 00:10

SerfTerf I'm very delightful ...do you not leave this chat thread?

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.

And do you know who that man was? Albert Einstein.

Then everybody clapped.

paxillin · 03/09/2017 00:12

Oh, those chavvy vapers... I suppose the classy ones are ok?

TittyGolightly · 03/09/2017 00:14

Unless Einstein worked in a call centre, it wasn't him.

meltingmarshmallows · 03/09/2017 00:15

YANBU. I find it really rude and irritating. Hate the smell and wish people would be considerate when doing it.

*And it looks stupid

This comes up time & time on these threads Hmm vape shamers I shall call them!

Shame on you, I bet you look amazing at all times? Hmm

I love vaping. I need the nicotine I'm afraid, I don't drink & I don't vape anywhere I wouldn't smoke.

And what's this nonsense about clouds? Mine is gone in a nano second, I'd have to blow it directly in your mouth for it to affect you. Ffs leave us be especially with the 'you look stupid thing' just fuck off

Serfterf, the vapers that like to produce lots and lots of vaper.

feckoff, my vape stick looks like a large pen rather than a cassette. Am I still chavvy?
