Question Vaping in the Ground - allowed?

It isn't permitted, but as others have eluded to, nobody seems willing to Police it. Probably not worth the hassle even trying.
 
Nasty anti-social habit.

Always hated smoking, however vaping is worse for several reasons;
- totally unregulated (seen as a healthier option to smoking, but no one seems to know future health implications - the nhs will be overwhelmed in future years due to the damage it’s doing to people’s lungs…)
- the smell, some of the sickly flavours are far worse than the smell of tobacco smoke
- the plumes of smoke that are significantly farther reaching than cigarette smoke and hard to avoid
- kids taking it up that never previously smoked, total idiots

Apart fro that it’s fine !!
 
As a person that vapes I am very conscious of doing it in a way that does not affect others. Even in a place where it is allowed/expected I'm thinking of things like wind direction or dispersal of the fumes not getting in anyone's way.

If anyone is doing it in a crowded inside area where it is not permitted then they are just being outrageously selfish and it should be policed effectively.

This is absolutely true, and there is already a backlog of lung cancer surgery .... and worryingly, you see so many kids vaping these days.
 
I'm not in favour of vaping in the ground but the club really need to add some nice flat clean surfaces in the men's toilet stalls so the more discerning gentleman can chop up their sniff. It was ghastly in there the last time I tried it.

Funny this is brought up as was also going to post this. Had some old fella in front of me on Tuesday in the East stand and I swear it never left his mouth. A constant stream of it. In the end every time he puffed on it I dropped my knee oh so gently into the back of his chair which gave me a nice level of satisfaction. Next time I will definitely be giving him a heads up to far cough.
 
The funny thing is stewards won’t enforce this rule but I’ve seen a steward having a go at a guy with there young kid for taking a picture with a camera 😂
 
So can a good fart, but you can't go banning them at football as there would be nobody left in the ground.
Don't get me started..........we have a phantom farter lurking in our little part of the West. Normally, it's just before half time and seriously whiffy. If I had to choose between that and vaping, then vaping would just come out ahead. Bugger, you see, you've got me started.
 
Takes me back to the old days...

Half time roll up losing 3-0, laugh at the win a car challenge, Dave Morley commanding the back line with aplomb, Mel "the cat" Capleton between the sticks, Mick Gooding midfield dynamo and supersub Fitzpatrick waiting in the wings.....

No wonder i needed a smoke...
You were lucky! You missed the Bobby Moore era and crowds of 2,500 or less.

That's aged me! The old days - feels like yesterday!!!

We have one of those but he is not so phantom he's Mrs Browns Ghost, who is a stadium clearer with his horrific spam based bottom burps, followed by a glint in his eye.
