Vaping in the Clubhouse

Couldnt agree more, the bad influence argument is weak imo.

As for the testing, nothing ever happens quickly these days lol, they'll get round to it eventually (and then try and work out how they tax it!)

I think the bad influence is very valid. I don't know anybody that smokes because they thought they taste nice. Always to impress or copy someone. I still think that until an official ruling is made health wise they shouldn't be allowed in.
 
I use one, we allow it and hopefully that is the way it'll stay.

Mine is purple and I like changing the colour of the bit you put in to your mouth.

I have several different flavours.

I had one that looked like a cigarette but got asked if I smoking too often so now have a bright green one
 
Interesting thread! I have been vaping for 6 months now, wouldn't dream of having a cig and I smoked 20 a day for 20 years! I smok mine everywhere I feel comfortable doing it... So I don't in restaurants, a bar maybe. Don't really go in my clubhouse often enough over tha past 6 months! But I prob wouldn't vape in there.
 
The vapour is pretty much just that - water vapour - so I guess the issue is whether there is any significant trace of nicotine in the vapour, and whether that is a risk to third parties? Unless they are demonstrated to be more harmful or risky to the health of other people than are coughs, sneezes etc of persons with colds and flu, then I'm content for them to be used inside. But the real nasties of real smoke such as tars, and particulate matter are just not there in the vapour.

However, I am an ex-smoker - so like some others, may be a bit biased. (More correctly, a smoker who is not having a smoke today for the 2257th consecutive day. Day 2258 can take care of itself when it comes...)
 
Someone snorting a line of coke wouldn't give off any harmful vapour - yet probably not allowed in the clubhouse :mad:

I don't think it's the vapour that's the issue, it's the fact that others have to WATCH you do it. There might be youngsters around watching your 'example' of smoking and there might be people around that have actually QUIT smoking and the last thing they need to see is you puffing away... there's an area for that sort of thing and they're probably doing their best to avoid it by being in the clubhouse.

Good points here and even as a user of an ecig I am on the fence a bit and can see both sides. As for why I use one, the simple fact is that I loved smoking, enjoyed every minute of it from the first one with a coffee in the morning to that drunken one in the back garden at 3 in the morning after a big night out. Forget the nicotine addiction, I smoked because I liked smoking. I tried drugs, gum and even cold turkey and failed to quit. The ecig may be a crutch but for the moment it is a half way point easing me off a bad habit that I enjoyed. That has to be better than smoking. Sorry that I do not have the willpower just to stop but that is how I am. I suspect I will have the temptation for the rest of my life but at least I am trying.

I'm very similar to you.

Started using an e cig the other week and they are very good at replacing cigs. I'm sort of halfway at the moment, odd fags and using the e cig thing aswell. Tried all sorts over the years but, like you, I actually enjoy(ed) smoking so makes it more difficult than it already is to jack it in!

I'm of the view that they shouldn't be allowed anywhere cigs aren't though. I wouldn't feel comfortable having an e cig on a train, in a pub etc. that said I've never smoked in my house so going outside for a fag/e cig isn't a problem.

oh hell yeah!
 
I'm very confused to see the "it's the same as smoking, so you should be lumped with the smokers" point of view.

Personally I love smoking, Especially with a beer after a round. I'm happy to do this outside (after 6 years or so getting used to it). Why shouldn't someone be able to use their ecig inside? If they had their back to you, no one would notice. It's unfair to lump it with proper fags. It doesn't smell, smoke or stain.
 
I don't know of anyone at our place that use them so no idea if we have a policy or not. I'm guessing not. My own preference would be to treat it as a cigarette as I think it may give a poor example, especially as we have a lot of juniors about the place at weekends.
 
well if you use ecigs and are looking to use the facilities at The Vale of Leven Golf Club in the future, be warned. The Committee banned them a few weeks ago..

Dont be so sure Greg, I used to be pretty much as described in your statement. And then having been like that for many a year I woke up one day and realised I didnt actually want to smoke anymore. As soon as that "want" went giving up became a lot simpler

And me. At some point you might find the reason that changes your mind.

I have a pretty basic ejoy atomiser and tank combo. There is a vaping shop in Grantham that sells great liquids at £3 a bottle. Currently alternate between menthol, berry and coffee
