The club have made a commercial decision which their prerogative.
The only factors that bother me are:-
1. Will someone vamping near me affect my health?
2. Will someone vamping near me cause annoyance to me?
As far as I can ascertain the health risks in vapeing are infinitessimal compared to smoking tobacco so I assume passive vamping holds little risk.
As an ex smoker I find being in the vicinity of someone smoking tobacco extremely annoying. If I find being in the vicinity of someone vapeing also annoying I will simply stay away which those espousing extreme anti views can also do.

I'm sure you mean vaping.
I'm not sure you'll be so miffed at a chick vamping over you.

Raises more questions than answers:-
1. "We initially introduced the vaping ban as a ‘just in case’ measure, but are now happy to reverse this as more news on the industry comes to light." .................. but the jury is still out as the only news is "nobody knows"
2. "we are pleased to be able to encourage them to consider switching to alternatives by allowing vaping in certain areas of the stadium" ........ All articles so far has been that the ban has been lifted throughout the stadium. Are we having vaping section or will there be a partial ban ?
3. "recent UK figures from the Office of National Statistics have shown that fears that they may ‘lure’ non-smokers into smoking are unfounded."...... the ONS figures showed that almost al vapor were either smokers or those wanting to quit smoking......ALMOST ALL means there are some being encouraged to taking up vaping from scratch.
4. "The club also confirmed it would continue to enforce its no-smoking policy just as ‘strenuously’ as in previous seasons" ....... good luck to those charged with policing it. Some vapes are obvious but some of them were designed to look like cigarettes and from 20-30 yards away ?

Sounds good actually. Just hope there's room on the terraces. |

Have heard that ecigs will only be allowed in one small area of the grounds concourse areas. Caution or back-peddle ?

I suspect they are back peddling. Presumably this is to avoid anybody standing close to an ecig in the stands do not get a 'free whiff' ?

Back pedaling. They would have mentioned it from the start if that wasn't the case. They probably didn't expect there would be so many people opposed to it.
On the subject of marketing e-cigarettes, a couple of people on here have mentioned that they thought of e-cigarettes as a way of quitting the real ones and that they couldn't see non-smokers taking up vaping. I asked my 13 year old son for the smoking habits for kids in his year and he reckons that there are as many people using e-cigarettes as there are proper cigarettes. I asked the same question to my son in law, who is at University, and he says there aren't as many vapors as smokers, but he knows at least a dozen people who use e-cigarettes without ever being a proper smoker before. |

And there is the reality. Not some self serving BS research funded by the tobacco companies.
These things are fully designed to perpetuate smoking.

You're right, but it shows there is a market for it beyond helping smokers kick the habit. |
