Seen a lot of people saying they're returning ST's and won't be taking there kids etc. Probably just the vocal minority however.. Will have to wait and see!

Agree with all your points.
I think the clubs reasoning is "a lot of people smoke, this is a 'disputed' healthier option and they're willing to pay. Why not?"

People tend to talk a good game but when it comes to it they poop out.

The big difference is you can't passively drink someone else's alcohol.

| You may not passively drink alcohol but you can get caught in the effects of alcohol on other people. I.e drunk and disordaly behaviour. No laws are being broken so I'm afraid people need to accept it. And if you'll avoid a game of rugby league due to the fear that someone may have an E-cig then I feel extremely sorry for you.

| Perhaps the club should ban all diesel vehicles with a 500 yard exclusion zone on match days so that we don't all inhale the particulates that are carcinogenic. Get over yourselves.

| Are the club promoting smoking? No, vaping is not smoking
Is it the clubs responsibility if children smoke? No, look after your own kids and stop expecting other societal figures to do it.
Is it dangerous? No ACTUAL proof regardless of the scare stories.
Have i ever smoked or vaped? No
Does it bring in much needed money to a sport that doesn't have a whole lot? Yes
Has there been a massive overreacttion by people who are just a little bit precious? IMO Yes
Let's ban salt it has Sodium and Cholride in it, dangerous or what?
Water has Hydrogen in it, do people know that stuff is explosive? O M G.
Any money is welcome as long as it's legal to me.
P.S. Passive vaping...

| Disappointed to hear this. I attended a football match at Boltons ground a few weeks ago and there were a group of "vapers" in front of me. They spent virtually there whole 90 minutes blowing dense clouds of vapour into the air, and believe me, I could smell it.
As for the alcohol debate, I never drink at matches and find that those who do usually end up chucking it down the back of my legs. Absolute pain.

HOW DARE PEOPLE LEGALLY DO WHAT THEY WANT!! What kind of world are we living in when you might have to smell something....#ThatchersBritain
You sound like you'd be more suited to the North Stand where you can can a nice snack and soft beverage. You can clap politely when we score and not have to worry about the naughty boys at the back enjoying themselves.
