At Falkirk Market there is a pub and bingo in the same building complex.

The manager of the bingo uses an e-cig having stared on a look-a -like e-cig (not bought from me). He progressed to an 650mAH kit and welcomes all of his patrons who use electronic cigarettes.

However the bingo in the town does not allow e-cigs to be used indoors. I have customers from both bingo venues and the ones who cannot use their e-cigs at the bingo complain bitterely about this fact.

You would think it was just a simple case to switch bingo's and come to the bingo that allows the use of e-cigs, but people have a circle of friends they meet. It is similar to asking someone to change their local pub.

The manager has told me that since the smoking ban they have lost a lot of money on the interlude quick games. Thats the fast games that are played during the break time. People are now going outside to smoke so don't play them.

It makes business sense for all these type of venues to allow electronic cigarettes but hey ho.

On the up side, I have taxi driver customers who say they are making more money because they don't have to vacate their vehicle to smoke now. That means they can pick up more fares !

I was speaking to my mum the other day about vaping, she gave up the nasties via NRT, about vaping in Bingo halls and she said that the bingo hall she uses is extremely positive about patrons using e-cigs. She was saying that she sees people vaping away while playing bingo and the slot machines. I know when I've previously gone up to see mum and we've gone to the bingo hall together, the place has been practically empty.

Now she says that its doing a lot of business

I cant remember the name of the place, think it is a Mecca, just off the East Lancs Road in Liverpool

thank goodness this bingo place seems to be taking a very positve view on vaping
