No vaping in smoking section

[franshorn]

So last night we were out to at 2 seperate places.

Both places, manager comes to us stating they don't allow vaping in their smoking section.

I was livid. Their smoking sections were so bad I can still smell the stinkies on me this morning.

Is this becoming a thing now?

cant comprehend, really

I agree with @vicTor , the mind boggles.. Maybe they don't like it that you make the place smell a tad better ?

The real question is, were you discreet or fogging up the place ? Discreet should not generally be a problem.

I can understand that 'fogging it up' may be a problem for the rest of the clientele, especially if the space is somewhat confined. They more than likely had complaints from that perspective before where groups of vapers were doing their utmost to imitate steam locomotives, hence the 'all vapers are a-holes' attitude.

As @Kuhlkatz said, if you weren't fogging up the place then the mind boggles. The fact that this happened in two places, on one night, is really bad lick. Perhaps the uninformed think that more smoke equates to more dangerous therefore the same should apply to vapour? What was the managers' explanation when you asked why you were not allowed to vape?





This would look really nuts !

If I go somewhere for dinner or lunch, I take my Evod
I can vape without anyone knowing by just holding in the vapour. It's not a fully satisfying vape but enough to get me through any few hour stretch.

Never had a problem, whether its inside, outside
I won't go into a smoking section though - too terrible now that I am off the stinkies

PS - I went once into the smoking section of the slot machine area at Monte Casino. I nearly passed out. Funny thing is it wouldnt have bothered me much 6 years ago... Gosh I am glad I don't smoke anymore!!!!

Utterly RIDICULOUS!! But wait ... the smokers will be booted out too when Smoking Sections are banned.

I'm wondering if it isn't the result of establishment owners who smoke and have something against vaping because they don't want to switch? So they forbid it out of spite on their premises?

Perhaps patronizing plebs prefer poo permeating patronage ?

If you would allow me, I'd like to separate ideology from practicality for a moment.

From a purely idealogical perspective, the venues are private property and in my opinion may be subjected to random and arbitrary rules (assuming said rules are set by the owner of the business and not some self impressed manager)

The imposition of these rules tells me that the business and its decision makers are quite confident that they do not need my money to be successful so I would rather not compromise my position and so I'll choose to take my ZAR elsewhere. If their assumptions are correct, they will flourish, else they will fail.

Zooming back to practical reality : what a bunch of f~&#(=g a&*+=()s.

I'm the same @Silver , I vape inside every restaurant or take away I go to. I've never been asked not to vape and that's because I stealth vape and release no vaper from holding my breath in so no one sees I'm vaping.

I can't stand smoking sections.
I was in a dinning smoking section for a birthday a few weeks back and it took me a while to adapt to the stench of the room.
Not pleasant at all.

Quick question - can vaping set off a smoke detector ? if not I will go vape in their bathroom/toilet.
But that will make me feel like an outcast again , smoking illegally in the toilets - just like we did in standard 6 ...

Apparently some smoke detectors can pick up vapour @ARYANTO
There was a member on the forum a while back - cant remember who - he set off a smoke detector in his hotel room with his vape.

I think the detectors in modern airplane toilets can pick it up too. So the remedy for that is to blow downwards or into one's shirt...

I really battle to be near smokers these days let alone go into a smoking section. I used to love going to the Suncoast casino but haven't been back for months because the machines I like to play (Poker) are in the smoking section...

 

[Adephi]

Its all the rubbish that people like Peter Ucko are spreading that vapour from vaping are "toxic clouds" that makes more sense to ignorant restaurant owners and managers.

If the smoking section is ventelated properly fogging it up won't be a problem.

I would just take my money elsewhere.

@Adephi , I vote with my wallet. I have to agree, I was instructed, not asked, to stop vaping by a busy body in the smoking section at Monte, because it’s bad for her, even called for security, while she is chain smoking and blowing billowing dank stinky clouds my way. Man, that did stink, think she was smoking Trumps underwear or something. Had to go in for a toot while having a beer with friends.

So I gave the slots manager my beer, the card they had given me 13 years ago and told him I’ll rather then meet my buds at a restaurant somewhere else for our monthly meet up. He said he didn’t mind, she’s a regular and she spends morethan me. The tables manager was not so forthcoming in his praise when 2 tables got up and did the same and we left after telling him why. All of us got a mail apologising profusely and asking for us to come back, with some freebies included. All told them to go get stuffed.

Now meet at one of the places at another center. I think the fact that 8 of the guys were black card holders, and big spenders, may have made that sting a bit. A couple of them smoke, I’m the only vaper. They now go to Pretoria for their gambling fix, nearer to home for them in any case.

On the subject - I kid you not, just outside the Gariep Dam, I stopped at a petrol station which had a little pub/ restraunt in the complex.

The door had a sign saying "Registered Smoking Establishment. No vaping."

where does all this anti vaping crap come from

I really don't get this Anti Vaping shxt that's going on , it baffles my mind - we stopped smoking for our and your health
but we get banished and crucified for vaping - are they jealous because we got the willpower to switch and they can't /could'nt ?
Goverment want to classify smoking and vaping under the same umbrella, but now vaping is not acceptable in smoking establishments ????

Interesting...

I used my mech mod to test the smoke detectors where we worked. You get a smoke detector tester that work on a aerosol container. Confiently left it at the office so it gives me a reason to vape in the building when i tested fire systems

From ignoramusus not wanting to own up that they don’t know what they are talking about, and are not willing to accept any other point of view, or that they may be wrong. Unfortunately.

People don't want other people to have nice things

 

[Resistance]

This topic came up in in a thread called no vaping in cresta mall...so seeing that these people are doing this...what can we do to change it. Or how do we start to change there perceptions.
There are so much more things that is worse to breathe in and even toxic,but because we dont see it its supposedly ok.
One article even say vaping is held in the mouth and nicotine is absorbed.
Petition.strike???
