AIBU to hate vaping even more than cigarettes

[PrincessoftheSea]

I know IANBU.

Vaping makes me feel sick. I hate the sickly cloud of smoke - apple and cinnamon, caramel or whatever it is these people drag down their lungs.

Vapers are pleased with themselves having given up smoking for an alternative they see as healthier, but they also seem to have no idea how disgusting it is for other people walking behind them on the street and being hit by a massive caramel or chocolate smelling cloud often with no warning.

How long do I have to wait until vapers start being considerate to others?

You know YABU but you typed all of that anyway?

It must be tempting when vamping is such a reliable subject for a good bunfight

I'm sorry OP but I don't think you'll be seeing smoking or vaping disappearing in a puff of smoke anytime soon

Oh and - merry Christmas

Or vaping even. Vamping won't raise an eyebrow

"Often with no warning "

😂😂 would you prefer the ecig to let off a little alarm to alert you beforehand ?

ATTENTION this vape is releasing in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Brilliant!

Stop walking so close to people. Personal space please.

Really? Seems like an odd thing to get het up by really - I've never noticed the smell personally. I definitely hate smoking More, I used to work in smoky clubs and i stank constantly and coughed constantly. I quite like vaping (not that i do it, i mean for others) But I am a little bias because my 40+ a day dad now only vapes as does my best friend so I think it's marvellous and will probably mean I have them with me for a few more years.
I find car fumes far worse on the street than the water vapour that comes out of the vapeing contraptions. Stinky and veru toxic

Oh and OP, vapers absolutely SHOULD be proud of themselves for giving up smoking. Vaping isn't smoking and no amount of endless threads on mumsnet are going to change that.

As an aside, I really dislike the smell of black opium, it's bloody everywhere. It should be banned, banned I tells you. When are black opium wearers going to become considerate to others?

😂😂😂 I just imagined the alarms like when a truck is reversing and it lets you know

" ATTENTION vaper vaping!! "

I like the smell of them. I don't smoke or vape.

I would like a vape warning system though. Raised jazz hands before exhalation.

That's exactly how I was saying it in my head magpie!

Oh good, it's been about a week since the last vape bashing thread, I was growing restless.

MEEEEEP

MEEEEEP

MEEEEEP

(I am vaping)

Personally, I am with you op, I HATE vaping as much as I hate people smoking cigarettes. I don't want your sickly cloud of smoke in my face.

Just because it's "healthier" doesn't mean those of us who don't do it should be exposed to it any more than cigarette smoke.

Patent it thyme

I think vaping is important for those trying to quit smoking, and I'm very thankful as it helped DH to finally quit but I think all those 13 year olds who smoke them for no apparent reason to look "cool" are completely pisstaking!!

Really?

People vaping bothers you?

I don't think I've ever even seen someone do it, let alone got caught up in a cloud of it (to the extent I'm moved enough to bitch and moan about it on MN).

but then again I'm sure the OP would be writing a new post about when are vaping alarms going to consider others feelings

Can't bloody vape...I mean win

I'm not a fan of either tbh. But vaping is better health wise than smoking.

I do think, however, that some of the vaping flavours are unbearably sweet.

I use menthol liquid and don't cloud chase. May I be excused from your hate?

I think we would need an alarm that warns people that the silent vape alarm is about to go off. So a pre-alarm alarm, if you will. It could go BEEEEP BEEEEP, SILENT VAPE ALARM DUE TO BE ACTIVATED.

I'll also tell you something - when will none smokers/none vapers consider our feelings??? When I ask you?!?!?!

In the couple of days we’ve had a dog thread, a vaping thread. I just need a moaning about “Americanisms” thread and I’ll have a line on my AIBU bingo card.

It's not all vape machines (I don't know what they're called) Most don't produce huge amounts of smoke. But there are some that users can blow out huge plumes and that is disgusting. Especially when you're in a busy street and have no choice but to walk close past them. It's bloody rude of them to blow it in people's faces. Pretty sure those ones are just for big show offs.

Yeah, disgusting apple and caramel - may as well just set a dog shit on fire.

Vaping is no where near as offensive as smoking as far as smells go, it's almost certainly in the same category as not liking someone's perfume or smelly candles i.e. Personal preference.

Outside i wouldn't give it more than a passing thought/sniff. There's a lot of smells and ooddles of air do a bit of synthetic cherry isn't a huge issue. Well unless you're looking for issues to get pissy about.

Thyme YES and also another alarm which says

" do not judge me, vapers gonna vape"
