Vaping lounge in Heathrow terminal 4

[gapy360]

Hi all, just read that Gamucci are opening a vapeshop/lounge in Heathrow t4.
There is an article on daily travel news website. I'll paste the link in a sec

GRIM GREEN mentioned it aswell in his vlog

Brilliant news Gapy . . . a step towards acceptability somewhere quite high profile.


Hopefully it will encourage a few smoking passengers to give ecigs a try.

Looked Gamucci on the Web, looks like they just do cigalikes, going to be vape envy when we start blowing clouds with our PV's
But it's defo a step in the right direction

Hmmm, I suppose it is a move forward, but there shouldn't be a NEED to have a 'special zone' in order to vape e-cigs!!!

I wish they wouldn't keep showing the cigarette lookalikes in the images, that's another thing that really bugs me.

They do unfortunately Gapy . . . but my thinking is that if someone tries one it may very well lead them on to researching for something better. Not always the case I know, but just to have a selected area inside for vaping is pretty ground breaking stuff for an airport I'd have thought.

And there'll be vapers using more sophisticated devices as an example, hopefully it won't be just for Gamucci customers . . . .

Terrible idea. Currently there are no rules against vaping at the airport.
Now, in addition to advertising for Gamucci, vapers will be herded into a room and tagged like smokers.

That's, I'm afraid, not true:

Electronic cigarettes are subject to exactly the same restrictions as standard cigarettes and therefore they cannot be used inside any of the terminal buildings. Although they can be carried on your person, please check with your airline whether they are allowed on board the aircraft.

OK - I saw no signs when I was there a month ago, and vaped quite openly, surrounded by staff and police with machine guns.

From what I've read it for all vapers, it's just that they will only sell Gamucci products in there

This is already being discussed here:

Fair point. Just a small gripe: I wish people would use Thread Titles to actually say what the thread is about - I'd completely missed that one.

Yes barrynorton I think that is a fair comment.  Lots of threads are poorly named and cause, as you have shown, people to miss threads that may be of interest to them.

I didn't see it either, figured as it was vaping related general was the way to go!

I agree and your thread title was accurate.
