Fights In Poolrooms Over E-Cigs?

I've seen people fight over some stupid shit, but not yet have I seen one break out over e-cigarettes.
I quit smoking using one. They're great, IMO. Started at a medium-high nicotine content juice and gradually stepped down to very low nic juice, then just stopped altogether. Really easy. I would hit mine openly in the non-smoking sports bar I play in a league at and absolutely nobody complained even once.
Why would these start fights?

No one seems to mind I'm aware of. E cigs didn't just help me stop smoking, I stopped smoking cold turkey because of ecigs. There is a problem developing in my area. A local city health board is trying to include ecigs in the smoking ban. They claim that the vapor could "possibly" be harmful to others. The truth is, they have no clue, no evidence, no common sense, and no case.
What's happening is the fines issued for smoking in public are being diminished by ecig use. They have to keep the cash cow alive somehow. I truly believe ecigs saved my life.

And almost as bad, (from the point of veiw of an ex smoker) when people come in from having a smoke. They smell pretty strong to a non smoker. Never really noticed it much before. Or just didn't care. Ecigs eliminate the walking ash cans! Lol.
Completely agree :thumbup:
Luckily our local board of health is not quite as fascist as others so far. It's definitely all about the money. Money from fines as well as pressure from big tobacco who are losing boatloads of money to the mom & pop vape stores and juice makers.
With the right vaporizer, that is correct. Doesn't work with just any e-cig. Just another benefit!
Where did you think the idea for E-cigs came from? :smile:. Johnnyt
Let me get this straight.
One can quit smoking, vis a vis, an e-cig.
So that means there is nicotine in those tubes—or as kvinbrwr connotes, some bud, if one chose.
Ergo, when "vaped" it is STILL second-hand smoke wafting in the air.
NO THANK YOU. I'm a non-smoker.
If I saw someone vaping in the pool room or anywhere around me I would certainly cause (my own) stink.
Fight? Maybe not that, but if you want to "vape" go fu*#@*! outside!!!
Ergo schmergo, there's no smoke, first hand or 2nd hand.
No smoke, it's water vapor and it dissipates into the air very quickly. In fact, if you hold it in for a few extra seconds, you breathe out nothing at all. I guarantee someone could do it right next to you and you'd never even notice.
Vapor -> Vaping
Smoke -> Smoking
2 very different things.
I am not a smoker. Folks vap in our pool hall all of the time. I can stand right next to them and they don't bother me a bit. I think they are a great substitute. I hope they do not find any bad side affects with them because they seem like a much better choice than cigarettes.
I've actually experienced some pretty profound side effects while vaping my Purple Bubba Kush Indica.
A guest came into our clubhouse poolroom and started puffin on an e-cig. Being an ex-smoker I got a little edgy being around smoke. I asked him to kindly take it out of the room. If it were in a public poolroom and permitted I would simply move to different table or leave, I don't know about those e-cigs...smoke is smoke. Has to be harmful.
You are right. You DONT know about ecigs. There is no burning....there is no smoke. It is 100 percent water vapor. The nicotine is absorbed by the user and water vapor is exhaled. After my heart attack, I had 3 seperate heart specialist tell me they had no problem with ecigs. That good enough proof for me that they are not harmful.
You HOPE they don't find any bad side affects?
When people began smoking cigarettes they didn't know the bad side effects either.
Some people are claiming that "e-cigs are innocuous."
We don't know everything about them yet.
Hell, it's only been a few years since general use.
Are we to go through this again? Just because one can't "see" the exhaust,
it doesn't mean that it isn't there.
It's common sense that with a chemical process there are by-products.
Water vapor? Sure, what else? Does anyone truly know?
Keep your e-cigs out of my face please.
Your body. Your health. Your life. I'll take my chances with no smoke or any form of nicotine.
