Posted Dave some people are just so ignorant tho its shocking

[hifistud]

They can be excused, some of them, because they just don't know what an e-cig is, or how it's so much less risky for everyone. And then you have the bigoted zealots that just want everything enjoyable banned. The upside to all of this is that it will certainly have catapulted e-cigs into the public consciousness...

My post is awaiting approval.

As is one of mine - looks like their moderators may have been swamped...

Dave apparently you have been a naughty boy and swapped habits.
Really is very funny, I know the poster was trying to be polite but I would never have lumped smoking, or indeed vaping, in with biting your nails.

EDIT: I logged in to comment using the sun website itself rather than twitter or facebook. I got the first comment in and ever since it just eats my comments without posting them or telling me they are being disallowed or are unsuitable. So if you go to post over there use twitter or facebook to log in rather than their own really badly designed website stuff.

I was vaping in my local pub and someone told the landlady i was smoking. She told the woman that i was not smoking and it was called vaping and was not harmful to others and was not illegal.
The woman then said she did not approve and asked the land lady to tell me to stop, and the landlady then told her to feel free to stand outside while i vaped if she did not approve.
Love my local

...ah 'The Sun', moral compass of the British people, a newspaper in name only.

Im suprised the Daily Mail hasnt jumped on the band wagon too, their journalism is second to none also.

I don't know anything about ECCAUK or any other industry/consumer organisations... but if there is anyone involved in such things, if you haven't already, please get some well written press releases out so that the real facts are at the hands of journalists, not just to the big papers but the locals also.

Journalists are inherently lazy and always under tight deadline pressures, providing them with the facts in a manner that they can easily digest and use will help to get a balanced message out.

The whole irony for me is my wife is just like some of the no smoking zealots , I have been switched for almost 18 months and she still asks me when am I going to quit the e-cigs .............. AS IF

[kirsty0108]

Interesting that Rupert Murdoch owns Skycigs ( and presumably BLU) , really makes you wonder why The Sun came down on them so harshly...............................

EDIT TO ADD : Had also wondered how they had got away with making their name the same as British Sky Broadcasting now realise it was probably intentional....

[Deleted]

Funny you should mention skycigs ....... they are being advertised on at least 1 of my local radio stations , real radio

Edit : make that 2 real radio xs also

I don't listen to many others around here
