It should always have been banned in indoor spaces the same as smoking, people just used vaping as a way to get around not smoking inside. I see so many people in my local vaping inside but will go out for a cig when their mates want one.

It’s water vapour. Leave it to individual pubs if they want to ban it or not.

From the article: ‘While many pubs already prohibit indoor vaping as a matter of policy, this new law aims to turn those restrictions into a nationwide legal requirement.’
What? There hasn’t been one pub I’ve been to in the last 10 years that has been cool with vaping inside.

Isn’t it already banned in doors? I’ve never seen a place that allows vaping.

Good. Vape stinks. Adults puffing out giant plumes that smell like someone threw up strawberry haribo. Grow up.

The only time it’s acceptable to vape is if you are trying to give up smoking.

They should also ban alcohol and pork scratchings as both are very dangerous. Fruit machines should be banned, as well as the electronic ones, due to addiction. The tables and chairs need to be looked at, as sometimes they are used as weapons. Pepsi and full sugar drinks should go too, as these rot teeth and cause obesity. The food options should be healthier. This means no chips or steak, and certainly no desserts like ice cream. No animals should ever be in pubs, dogs are unhygienic and piss and fart everywhere.

Will the taxpayer subsidised bars in Westminster be exempt like they were the smoking ban?

As someone with family members who vape inside everywhere! Pubs, restaurants, shops. And not even very discreetly either!
I’m very much welcoming a legal ban

So I don’t really understand vaping. I’ve never done it but I also don’t really care if others do it, they can make their own decisions.
But I often find myself in close proximity to someone else who is vaping and I end up breathing the awful smelling cloud. I don’t know if that is particularly harmful to me but it can’t be good.
Often, when I ask them to refrain from blowing smoke right into me. They comeback with something like it is harmless, just water vapour or whatever and blow it right into my nostrils. What it is is, is besides the point l think it’s fair enough that I don’t want to be directly inhaling it.
Happens a lot at football games where you can just look at a section of the crowd and very frequently just see puffs of smoke coming up.

Only obnoxious people vape in places like pubs.
Once had a colleague start puffing away at work until I told them to immediately stop.

Britain’s obsession with banning things is wild. Plenty of pubs dont allow vaping, go to one them if you dont like it, stop telling people how to run their fucking businesses.

I thought it was anyway, by the pubs themselves. I can only think of 1 pub that allowed it, but that was very briefly as it kept setting the fire alarms off.

Is it so wrong to let people choose what they do and where, If it’s a vaping allowed pub then just don’t go there?
I don’t vape, and if it got to me I’d just go somewhere else.

Good, need to be banned in more places too. I hate having to avoid a massive smoke cloud the size of a galaxy to not breath in that toxic crap

I’m surprised they didn’t just make an amendment to the smoking bill to include vapes years ago

Yeah fuckin get those vapes off the street, this is absolutely our biggest issue..
They banned disposable vapes apparently, yet every single fucking shop still sells them

People who vape don’t give a fuck. They’re less considerate than smokers. They won’t stop.

About bloody time. I dont want to breathe that shit in.

Another pointless law, Labour are obessed with banning things. Ive never hated a government so much and the Tories took some beating.
Just let the pubs decide if theyre pro vaping or not, and customers can act accordingly. Vaping really bothers you? Then go to a pub that doesnt allow vaping (which is most of them).
Government need to stop meddling in things that shouldnt concern them.. But they wont of course.

Never knew it was legal? Thought it was not different from smoking. Yes, it should be!

Given its negligible health impacts from second hand water vapour this seems a silly thing to press on with.

Good, ban this shit everywhere
No you don’t look cool, knobheads…

Thank fuck. I’m an actual real smoker and sick of standing there waiting for the barman to come through a cloud like it’s stars in your eyes.

I was manageress of a pub, vaping was allowed but not near the bar & anyone making “clouds” were told to go outside.
TheDragonDoji on
One of my locals has a sign in the window saying “Vaping permitted”.
They’ve had an excess of repeat business from me due to this and I’ve never had another patron with an issue over it.
Vaping is not the same as cigarette smoke, anyone that claims this is being hysterical, disingenuous or desperate to impose their will on strangers.

Yet another nail in the coffin of British pubs.
