Xiled Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 My personal favourite was the smell of pipes. I will never forget, around 1978 walking into the old enclosure and seeing a father with his son, aged about 12, and both smoking pipes. Love that image. Funny how some things stay in your memory.

wendyredredrobin Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've used electronic cigarettes a few times in the lower Dolman and never had any problems, no complaints and the stewards have seen me puffing away and said nothing, so I assume it's OK. They shouldn't really be called cigarettes anyway as that isn't what they are. The vapour is similar to that used in asthma inhalers, and I'm sure they aren't banned anywhere. They contain no tobacco and create no smoke, so the term smoking is totally inappropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Colby-Tit Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I was Vaping in the upper Dolman at half time in full view of stewards and nothing was said. If they want to ban me from exhaling vapour they'll have to ban hot drinks as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorset_Cider Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I got thru 20 of em in that last 10 mins....... Interesting.........

Avalonred Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 What I don't understand (as an ex-smoker).... E-cigs look like fags, you use them like fags, they contain nicotine? So how the hell are you going to give up the 'habit'? .... good luck with that then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicotine, in the doses given by vaporisers, isn't harmful. It's the tar and 4000 toxins in fags that will kill you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the circulatory, respiratory, cancerous element of it that's the problem. On another note, I did see that they're banned in Sainsburys on store policy so presumably City can as well if they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Dream Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Why even bring this up - not alone pointing his seat out! If it's banned/against the rules let the stewards deal with it.

They wouldn't be too happy about a customer sucking a dummy either. PS Hygiene NOT bloody hog wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aizoon Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 So nicotine is in no way poisonous then? The jury's still out on that, in those quantities at least. Yes, it will kill you if you swallow enough, but then so will aspirin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Colby-Tit Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 In sufficient quantities yes, but there is no evidence that it's harmful in the doses that e-cigs produce. No more than caffeine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note, I did see that they're banned in Sainsburys on store policy so presumably City can as well if they want. Any public premises can allow/ban them. If they're banned - then a (HR) type policy must be created first. Any member of staff who tells you that it's not allowed, they must have proof of company policy.
