Olympics question

[lfcpops]

Hi guys

Getting used to my new ecig and the wife is partaking occasionally too - although she wants to totally give up I think...

However I'm still a bit self conscious using the thing out and about... and on Weds I'm off to the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff to watch the Olympic Football. And I want to take my ecig but if the security guys decide they don't like it, I either lose it or miss the match...

Has anyone else been using their ecig at an olympic venue? any problems?

Or am I just worrying too much? Am I paranoid?

if you are worried just call the stadium and ask

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

There is a full no smoking anywhere in the stadium, god knows if ecigs are allowed but you can always stealth vape if you needed to, no one would know your enjoying your nic hit

[PeeKay]

True enough Sandra, but I think he's a tad concerned about the security monkeys relieving him of his equipment.

[lfcpops]

You have it right Peekay.

Gordy, I have emailed them - good idea btw - so that if their response is good I can print out the email and take it with me!

I'm not self conscious puffing on my e cig out and about. I happily walked all around town vaping on Monday afternoon. Don't have a clue if anyone looks at me or not as I don't look at anyone and I don't even care if they do.

[PeeKay]

Just make sure that the PV doesn't 'tick', and you should be gravy.

I have taken an ego to the Millenium Stadium several times when watching Wales play Rugby never had a problem,But with the football i am not sure.

Just had the response from them:






Good Morning.



I’m afraid electronic cigarettes are not permitted into the stadium.



Kind Regards

Indeed it is.

That reply is rubbish as far as I'm concerned it looks like a secretary simply answering an email the easiest way she could? I dunno. I do think it would be wise however to point out to someone an ecig if going through an xray machine search procedure. Especially some of those wooden mods would give me heart failure!

According to this link, e-cigs are going to be sold in the Olympic village itself -

Yeah I saw that when I was researching last night, trying to find an answer to my question. I'm going with some smokers and some non-smokers so I'll just have to stay strong until I get back to Bristol - its only 8 hours or so...

[fagin]

I'd just take a few disposables or something. Stick them in a cigarette box.

Hope it doesn't spoil the enjoyment of the event for you . . . I'd say Fagin's suggestion is an excellent one.
