I am on the government's side on the bans of vapes. I hate walking into a sweet and sickly chemtrail. People even vape in shopping malls.

I am in the beer garden at the local. I see people puffing away for revolting, sweet sickly clouds. I wonder if the vapes also have mircoplastics that go inside people bodies and bloodstreams?

You are in a beer garden at 7.30pm on a wet, dark and chilly December night? Or have I misread you.

I'm a non smoker, never touched any of it. Both my parents were heavy smokers until my mid teens. Mum gave up and never did it again and is 38 years off them now, dad was sent to the garden when she gave up. But before that the smoke in the living room used to be so thick at times of an evening 45 years ago that you could see it layering in formation across the room like high wispy clouds do. That horrifies me. My mum has also admitted she smoked when expecting me. Her unborn eventually told her off about that.

Vapes are even more antisocial. I've stood watching a carnival parade with family and had some big guy behind me wafting his filth straight over my shoulders leaving me and the others all in a cloud of his crap that was kind of a shade of pink, the stench indescribable. How can people stand and blow their fumes directly at you like that? When I go outside I want fresh air.

it is only single use vapes, whatever they are.

Successful pub chains, like Wetherspoons, ban vapes, music and dogs (except assistance ones) from any part of their premises; they even banned smoking before the government.

I love the fresh air Wyot. Smoking was antisocial habit also but at least smokers went outside or moved away from to smoke. Vapers seem seem to be selfish and oblivious to others. Just because it's not tobacco smoke does not mean we want to smell of a candy shop or kid's bubble baths.

I never understood why I smoked in the past Wyot. I was a cigar smoker but I gave up when the prices went up during lockdown. I don't think smoking is has dangerous the government make it out to be buts it's expensive.

Spoons banned music was a mistake. All the Spoons I go to have has a giant TV on mute with rolling news channels. The pub I go to has a jukebox, which people take in turns to use.

Yet drug dealers, pimps and prostituted women are encouraged.

1. Not if you want to hold a conversation.

2. Previously, you said you hated Spoons and never frequented them!

I never said never Barney, I have been dragged to a few. Do read the older posts.

Does that include live local bands?
