Where do you vape?

[hissie]

I'm curious to know where folks vape.

So far, I've only vaped in the house & the car. I want to build the confidence up to vape in other places.

I vaped in a Wetherspoons but I gather they've now officially banned it Vaped on a bus, vaped in the doctor's waiting room.

That's about it, but seein' as I've only been out a couple of times in the last year it's not bad

I appear to be still acting on 'stigma' although I have vaped in the pub and will be doing friday night if the weather's wet

I did show my ecig to the nurse at the doctors yesterday as she was telling my latest charge about the smoking cestation clinic they run.

[Hanow]

I only tried it once, outisde of Costa coffee, where I could have smoked any way! But if this is not smoking, why are they banning it? Does anyone know the rationale behind that?

[Perpetua]

I rarely go 'out' so haven't had to put vaping acceptability to the test, I did considering 'sparking' up at a Council meeting the other evening but decided the shock might have serious health implications . . . . on the many elderly Councillors there.

I generally don't use mine anywhere I wouldn't have smoked before, although considering I was a smoker for 25 years, going back to yoof, you could smoke almost anywhere.

SO, my places include:

Train
Bus
Cinema
Café
Pub
Restaurant
My Mum's house (outrageous!)
Shopping centres
Sainsbury's head office in Holborn (very stealthily - I was a guest!)
Hotels

I don't tend to use it in shops and almost always introduce it in pubs/restaurants, but mostly because I don't want the scene of other customers complaining.

Apart from at home, on the quay with Lynda

I was considering vaping in my local Starbucks, but the stigma of the smoking ban got the better of me & I decided against it. Silly really.

[lolli]

Hissie - methinks it's easier if you do it WITH someone ............but that's the problem .......so few peeps vape!
The number is increasing tho

[hissie]

OOoooo I managed to have a wee vaping session in my local Starbucks. Granted I sat as far away as I could from where the assisants were taking pay for the coffees

James, out of interest, has anyone ever challenged you while vaping in any of those places?

[ragjoy]

i used it at Stansted airport in the bar but was very discreet.
easyjet will not allow it now, i have a confirmation email stating so, albeit they sell a vapor less version.
i used it in the mall in norwich, where a large bouncer/doorman security man had run what must been 50yds to tell me i cant use a pipe in there, i told him very quickly what it was and he said "oh" thats alright then.
too be honest i dont use it when in places where smoking is banned, mainly because i feel a bt of a sore thumb.
raggy.........

Know what you mean about the stigma thingy. Think I have got used to not smoking in public, so tend to use it at home, in the car, at friend's homes if they smoke, same with family, if I'm sitting outside at a pub or cafe and in the book cupboard at work if I'm feeling bold or desparate!!!!!
