sidcow Posted November 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) AS Limpid asked us to take this topic into off topic I will repeat my post regarding my concerns about vaping as follows: Whoa, hold your horses partner. Yes water vapour might be harmless but what are the things that make the flavour? This is what worries me because it is chemicals which make the flavour. I asked someone I know how she knew if the vape juice was safe and she said "of course it is otherwise the vape shop wouldn't sell it" Now even companies like Findus and Tesco etc suddenly found out that they had horse meat in their beef. Vaping is totally unregulated and I can't see the Vape shop carrying out any kind of supply chain auditing. So you have chemicals of unknown substance from unknown source being vapourised and inhaled deeply into people's lungs. I give it a couple if years before the troubles start and we realise people are developing all kinds of conditions from God only knows what they have been inhaling, and I for one would also like to avoid inhaling it second hand. Am I the only one with these concerns? Edited November 5, 2016 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I've never smoked a cigarette, but I'd honestly rather put a vapour up my arse than smoke it, and that's the gods honest truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted November 5, 2016 Administrator Share Posted November 5, 2016 Quote Smoking is the country’s number one killer, causing nearly 78,000 deaths each year in England. While the long-term effect of e-cigarettes is unknown, and they are not completely risk-free, the current evidence indicates that they are significantly less harmful than smoking tobacco and are helping smokers to quit. Organisations need to consider the comfort of all colleagues, smokers, non-smokers and vapers, and show consideration when creating their vaping policies. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/vaping-in-public-places-advice-for-employers-and-organisations Personally I don't like the smell (from the added flavours) and the ones that create a lot of vapour can be annoying.

AJ Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 The truth is, anything inhaled over a lengthy period with regular frequency can cause harm. The human body is not meant to intake and break down substances through inhalation, other than the ol' O2 to CO2. Just about any solid or liquid substance contains carcinogens. Whether it be tobacco, cannabis, or even dried mown grass, there will be a substance contained that will cause the body's cells to go mad. Vaping is only reasonably new, but health risks are inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 (edited) Don't care what people do to their own bodies, but when you get oafs exhaling huge stinking clouds of vapour in public then they can **** right off.

leemond2008 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I vape, it had helped me quit smoking. I have a little e-cig that I use when I am out and about that produces about the same amount of vapour that a cigarette does smoke. I have another one which gives off the mahoosive clouds of vapour which I use solely when I am at home. I hate people that use them outside and cover me with their obscenely large clouds.

PieFacE Posted November 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 5, 2016 I'm currently vaping, and have been for about 3 weeks. In that time I've gone from smoking 10-15 cigarettes a day to 0. I'm feeling good about it, well as good as I can be as a miserable vegetarian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Vaping hey, so good people have to do it constantly with their huge **** oboes discreetly farting out a pea souper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 It annoys the **** out of me tbf. As daft as it sounds I'd rather be next to a smoker than a vaper. I'm sure there will be some health problems from it in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I'll be walking along and I'm suddenly aware of a lovely sweet smell. Love it. Then I realise I'm behind a vaper. I probably shouldn't breathe it in as much but I do like the 2nd hand smell of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I think some people vape to try and look cool... especially the big **** off ones that resemble a bassoon. It always the same type of people using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But obviously the bigger they are the better they are because of battery life . Not sure how much trying to look cool comes into it ybh. . .
