My own mother is one of those people and it drives me insane!! After a 10 night stay in hospital unable to move a few weeks ago the first thing I did when I got outside was get my device out of my coat pocket!! Her response was "surely you can do without that Now??? I just ignored her and carried on puffing thinking to myself "she'd be the first to complain if I started smoking again " You can't win with some people and as prr would say "you can't educate pork!!!!

I find mostly, that vaping is an excuse for serial moaners to .............. well.................moan. I wouldn't put myself in the clouds for days category, but my vape isn't exactly invisible either. With that in mind, I do and I'm sure others do likewise, tend to try and avoid vaping where it could annoy people. I have found that doesn't even deter people who are determined to moan and have their say. My last incident of note was when I went to the Christmas market at Edinburgh in December 2017 ( highly recommended for anyone who can get there). Having spotted a gentleman vaping in a quiet spot behind the market stalls, I made my way through a gap to join him for a few tokes. Turned out the man came from Warwickshire and was spending a few days in Edinburgh, taking in the market as part of a bus tour. As we chatted, a figure appeared through the darkness, the look on his face said he definitely had a wasp up his arse about something. His announcement went thus "that fu*k%ng shit should be banned" my reply, after a large draw on that nights weapon of choice, " so should stupid people, but they're not and the EU don't even regulate them". End of conversation.

It annoys me when people say I'm going to get popcorn lung from vaping oil. My reply is always :- good job I don't vape oil I hear that one a lot. I always say there are plenty of other flavours available.

Must admit, thebishman, I also get irritated by some people’s tendency to think they know what is best for other people and take every opportunity to tell them about it. I especially dislike that they claim they are doing it out of concern for others. I think they just enjoy feeling smug, and none of us like being smugged on! I usually ask them which bit of research they are basing their opinion on. That usually shuts them up. I call it Smugging the Smuggers.
