    So, went to my local today with an extra spring in my step because I just got my new iStick and Nautilus Mini (it's beautiful!). No sooner did I put the thing to my lips, however, was I urgently informed that they no longer allow vaping because they'd had a group of people in on Saturday night (arsehole night) who were all vaping except one among them who was actually smoking. Ban the arsehole smoking then, I hear you reasonably exclaim? Nope, just ban vaping altogether. Thank you and good night, I won't be going there again:mad:

    Yeah he was with the group who were all vaping and he was craftily smoking thinking he wouldn't be noticed or something.

    As a non smoker who gigs in pubs I can't stand the stink of e cigs. Horrible sweet smelling ones. I had to move away from two who were puffing away. I didn't say anything but think they should not be allowed at a bar but in a designated area.

    Better sweet than burned tobacco and paper. Some people in fairness are a little less self aware of where they are exhaling but you'll get the pricks. But it's not on to ban it because one sneaky cnut was trying to hide the fact he was smoking which is illegal.

    I wouldn't mind so much if they'd banned because people complained of the smell. People have always vaped here with no complaints though.

    As someone that vapes, I think vaping should be banned in pubs. I have been used to going outside with the crowd for years and it doesn't bother me. Some of the liquids are quite smelly, liqua French pipe or Turkish is revolting to smell but beautiful to smoke.

    All it takes are a few arseholes to ruin it for everyone

    It's a fair reason too. The owner could get in big trouble if people are acting the dick

    It's a real downer for me because I hate the whole thing of having to go outside to smoke or vape. When I was a smoker I would stay outside in all weathers so that I could just drink and smoke because I hate to just drink. So the vaping has been such a god send, to drink and vape in the comfort of a warm pub, but now I'm being forced out in the cold again. I know, everybody say ahhh. Staying at home now until the summer : (

    Too bad and tough luck,
    maybe i dont like womens perfume, think its ok that i should look for perfume to be banned? Maybe people with deodorant should be sent to a designated area.
    Spoilt, trying to make rules for other people.

    In fairness if someone doesn't like the smell of cigarettes you wouldn't say too bad and tough luck. Not everyone likes the smell and in a public place where not smoking/vaping is more socially exclusive than the latter really you should go outside. If someone asks me not to use it indoors I will oblige just out of general niceness.

    If they don't like me vaping in their pub then I don't like spending my money there and I go somewhere else, seem to always the worst anti-smokers that are also against vaping and I don't listen to the I get a head ache and it smells comments, I mean what's next, perfume, smelly feet, please don't fart, don't go for an after work beer but **** off home and have a shower before you're welcome here with your money

    It'll always be possible to stealth vape with the right device and theres also always the door jacks ! I tend to vape outside so it doesnt bother me too much. Ive an ego one mini for the stealth side of things

    I think a vaping ban is coming, unfortunate for us but its unavoidable.
    Even if the real science is proving second hand vape is perfectly fine, they'll ban due to 'nuisance' to the customers. And for those of who are still allowed to vape in our chosen establishments, please be respectful of others. Don't blow your vape into peoples faces.
    For me, I'll vape where I can until I can't. And then I'll stop spending my money in pubs.
    I like to drink nice beer, I like to vape. Its pretty much getting to the point that nice beer is disgracefully expensive anyway. For the odd time I go 'out out', I'll vape with the smokers.

    Hi
    Are you the same Grayfox208 / Snake /calmdownbrah - that stiffed a number of contributors to this forum last year ?

    If not apologies, but the user name is unusual enough to stick in the mind.

    Hi! No. Never had an account on boards before. I use GrayFox208 for everything! Adverts, email, etc. I don't find it unusual. Don't know what happened but it's not me that done it anyway man.

    If they're spraying it around the pub, yeah they should. Not a fan of people puffing their vaping dirty air in my face

    i am an ex smoker, never used e cigs. i have no issue with e cigs in pubs, cafes etc. I dont see why people have issues with vaping, if it helps people quit smoking, which is what society wants.
    But the government is dreaming of ways to regulate and tax, so all vapers should hit the pub and enjoy this period of liberation.

    It all comes down to people being arseholes. Same mentality as people that don't own a car thinking no one should own a car or people who make shag all money thinking everyone else shouldn't make money either. Pure bitterness toward their fellow man.

    You are aware that due to the pg/vg the exhaled air from a vaper is actually cleaner than what you exhale from just breathing

    While vaping is better for your health than smoking it's still nicotine addiction - a pointless and costly addiction. Finally after years of battling nicotine addiction via smoking and seeing results are we to reinvent it via vaping ?? No thanks . As an exsmoker I want the same controls on it. No advertising, no vaping in pubs and no glamourisation.

    it's not costly at all as long as it doesn't get hit with mega taxes, I made a litre of liquid a few weeks back costing me 15 quid, that would last even the heaviest of vapers months,and for the addiction of nicotine itself it is no more addictive or harmfull than coffee, reason the ciggies are so hard to quit is all the other chemicals they mix in with the nicotine/tobacco in them to make them extra addictive.
    Wether it is a pointless addiction or not can be discussed but it is just your opinion

    there is nothing worse than a reformed whore.
    they have given up smokes, so the fun stops for all smokers.

    Actually you're wrong here. Nicotine in it's pure form is still a mild carcinogen but then so is everything you fry or cook in an oven. But increasingly we're beginning to see that it has a number of proven positive cognitive and mental health effects, I believe it's actually being explored in the treatment of Alzheimer's.
