Totally legal to use, the European high court has told the UK government to do one, they have tried to get them brought under the smoking legislation not only them, but other eu country's as well.

Why, your breathing, and exhaling vapour all the time, you just cannot see it until it gets cold outside

First and foremost, its MY car, MY office and MY dining room (sometimes) I have no wish to inhale whatever it is that these things emit, Ive not had any info on what the emissions are, so I think I have the right to request "no smoking" (of any kind) for the duration of the journey. Whatever the user thinks or likes, I dont feel I have the need to accept it...

Well I will let you vape in my car to your hearts extent.


If you cant and you are having an asthma attack then you best not let them use an inhaler.

Cos it is EXACTLY the same substance.

Those vaping things contain a banned fertiliser.

It's called nicotine.

And also the laughably named "juice" (of what?)

Have you vipers never watched yourselves in a mirror to see how ridiculous you look, like you're playing a piccolo, badly.

The same substance used in an inhaler is also used in a vape.

Yup. Looks stupid. But it also changes the NHS bill by hundreds of millions of £ from lower lung cancer rates and other health issues related to smoking.

Nicotine is a highly addictive drug. But in the pure form. It is as harmful as the highly addictive drug caffeine.

Something 99% of us are addicted to and don't even realise we are.

Taking nicotine into the body without the thousands of different chemicals from tobacco stops others from passive smoking and also makes you just as likely to die from a strong coffee than it is from a vaping stick.

Unless you get whacked with one.

These 2 drugs are in asthma inhalers, salbutamol and terbutaline. Are you saying that they are also in e-cigs? If so it is dangerous to use them more than 3 times a week. Are you saying that people with asthma would benefit from using e-cigs?

Just to finish.

Health concerns

The health effects of using electronic cigarettes are currently unknown. Several studies regarding the long-term health effects of nicotine vapour, both inhaled directly and second hand, are currently in progress, although it should be noted that second hand side stream smoke is non-existent due to on-demand operation and that vapour is generated rather than smoke.
