How long will it be

[mybad]

Before vaping will be seen as antisocial as smoking cigarettes, as our numbers are growing by the day, can you imagine 30 or 40 vapers down the local pub EVERY weekend.

It'll be a blummin long time before that happens if we don't lobby our elected representatives regarding the EU tobacco directive

Doesn't make very good reading, especially the "products with characterising flavours cannot be sold" paragraph and the maximum nicotine levels looks like a good time to start stocking up with DIY supplies Lol

I don't agree , the anti smoking nazi's will be whining because as far as they're concerned we've cheated ......they don't care that the products harmless , smells nice or is healthier for us .
They'll see vapers as dirty little nicotine addicts who are laughing at them and will go all out to see vaping banned as tobacco is .

When funds have allowed and I've gone out somewhere, I've asked if I can vape and everyone (so far) has said yes. Also, when I've been in non-smoking friends' houses they've all been happy for me to vape indoors. Like you say though, might be different if there's a whole load of vapers in a boozer and someone complains!

Exactly ,, A novelty can soon turn into a nuisance unfortunately

I'm hoping that once people become educated to the e-cig it'll become widely accepted
I'm also hoping that my lotto numbers come up

Cheers Karma

Just spent the last hour reading these threads and other links within... not great reading some of it but all very interesting.

Signed the petition too ( or think I did as my German aint too hot!!) but after reading that it is really important that anyone who wants to keep vaping should both sign it and lobby there MP /MSP, I certainly will!!!

Me thinks I will need to increase my vape mail and buy a small personal freezer just incase

Not just boozers Sarah, when I started vaping it was a bit of a laugh at work.... would wind up the smokers when they were heading outside by having a puff in the office when they passed ... the non smokers thought it was quite funny

Fast forward a couple of months and there are 3 or 4 of us vaping and you've guessed it we are now outside with the smokers cause some twat complained.

Will end up the same in pubs and offices everywhere soon as the novelty value starts to wear off !!!!!

Let's hope the personal freezer will not be needed Stewart

Don't forget to lobby your MEP, who you probably have no memory of voting for! It's our MEPs that are in charge of our interests in Europe
