Sick of vile vape smoke.

It’s bloody everywhere and I’m sick of massive plumes blowing into my kid’s buggy. So bloody selfish. That is all…

Dramatic much

How on earth does it go down into the buggy. I'm puffing on mine now and it's only going up..of course.

I’m not a fan, people have been known to vape inside the staff room at work which is horrid. I don’t think it’s as bad as regular cigarettes or traffic fumes. I live rurally so don’t get it much but I went to town the other day and getting out the car I was struck with a strong smell of exhaust/ cigs. It’s no wonder so many children have asthma / lung problems

Careful, you'll be accused of looking like a child with a dummy😂

So much handwringing over vaping. Anyone would think we're smoking crack cocaine.

Apparently vapers cause nose bleeds to others and sore chests too. Learn something new everyday!

Who knew that people would be so defensive about their grubby little habit that they would be falling over themselves to demonstrate how ablist they are, or how lacking in basic intelligence ("just steam").

@FlayedAbout I don't disagree with you. Doesn't make my comment any less true though.

Do you get a sore chest from other water vapour or steam products?

No. Of course not, why would you even ask such an embarrassingly inane question? Did you think it would make you look clever?

The vapour produced is neither steam nor water vapour.

It contains nicotine, diluent and flavouring.

These products are often sourced from outside the EU and are not of medical grade. The flavouring is often made with food grade products, safe for digestion but not designed for inhalation. The products still cause lung damage.

Diluent is a mixture of propylene glycol & vegetable glycerine (again food grade). The ratio can be altered to produce differing levels of vapour vs throat hit for those that prefer a more cigarette type feel, however the stickier your diluent mixture the quicker you will burn out your coils.

I've mixed an awful lot of vaping liquid, so I know what goes into it. You very clearly do not. Tell me, if you think it's just steam, why are people so addicted to it @m340? Perhaps you ought to watch Big Vape on Netflix to see some of the long term consequences of your so called 'steam'.

Do you get a sore brain from all the thinking?

I always think those men with the giant plumes of smoke are making up for tiny penises as there is no need.

I'm a vape user who has used it to quit smoking. Turn the wattage down and voila, still same mouth feel and nicotine, but none of the awful fog.

Instead of typing out all that tripe, you could just admit that it hit a nerve.

Luckily, reading doesn't make my brain sore.. it might yours though.

The VAPOUR disintegrates within 2-3 seconds. Unless you're stood next to someone with ya big gob wide open practically vaping yourself, I highly doubt it's going to have so much of an affect on you that it makes you have a sore chest. Or a nose bleed for that matter.

You're chatting shit, it's okay, we've all done it. Biscuit

Inspireme2 · 24/05/2024 10:47

Most mental thing I have ever seen.
It does smell of revolting cheap flavours.
A vaped in car reminds me of sitting in it like a musty old nightclub.

I honestly don’t understand the hysterics from some people on here over vaping?! It’s a really strange reaction.

Jeannne92 · 24/05/2024 11:38

Vape smoke / clouds are gross. Like adult babies who have to suck on their smelly chemical tit all day long.

In films and series it's now a stereotype that the cunt character vapes.

Vaping is the most mental thing you've ever seen?

Christ, you can't have seen a lot of this world.

You're right, there is absolutely no need.

But that's an interesting take on why men do it.

Do you think women who do it are trying to make up for having loose vaginas or something?

Some other need of attention. A lot less women have the giant plumes style vapes though in my experience.

As I say, I am a vaper (and my god I wish I could get decent unflavoured juice! They're all so sweet and sickly) and there is no need for clouds of vapour at all. With barely any vapour I get the nicotine hit and satisfy the urge to COUGHS suck on something 😁

There is a difference between posting about a dislike for vaping and posting that an entire group of people are repulsive which is what you did.

There are plenty of people posting about their dislike of an entire group of people on this thread - I.e. Vapers. It’s the same exact thing. They’re being called vile and disgusting and that they look ridiculous. I don’t think that’s ok either.

Funnywonder · 24/05/2024 13:04

I can't stand the sickly smell of some vapes but then I can't stand the sickly smell of some perfumes/body sprays either.

Couldn't agree more. While I don't like the smell of vapes, some perfumes are so overpowering, I feel like I can still smell them for ages afterwards🤢

goldenretrievermum5 · 24/05/2024 13:08

YANBU. It is an absolutely disgusting, anti-social habit. The perpetrators seem to have 0 self awareness and feel entitled to blow their thick, white, sickly sweet smelling clouds of still warm (🤢) chemicals all over the rest of the public. I am sick of not even being able to even stand at bus stop without having that rubbish puffed towards me!
