Vapes banned at the stadium yet on sale at the gate
So vapes are banned inside the stadium yet today there are loads of blu vape stalls offering special offers to teenagers
Is that something as a club we should be doing ?

That's exactly what I thought. My answer to myself was "no"
Re: Vapes banned at the stadium yet on sale at the gate
Sold by the club? Whereabouts?

Sold by Blu Vape. They had a stall outside gate 5 and probably other gates.

It didn’t sit right to be promoting them at the football
But “special offers to teenagers” is a bit misleading unless you saw something I didn’t

You can buy booze at the liquor store, but you can't drink it there.

When I went past on the way to gate 5 - the 2 'glammed up' girls running the vape stall - were talking to 2 teenage boys - about 14/15 ish - talking about special sign up deals, the type where it's a one day only type thing. All vapes specially coloured like sweets and different flavours etc.
This doesnt sit right with me at all - and the club should not allow. Then I realised that Blu Vape are a club sponsor - FFS. We may as well allow Benson and Hedges back in and get them dishing out free fags to people to try out and see how they like them

Ah ok.
I'm all for people having the choice what to put in their own bodies but it's all the bright colours and flavours that don't sit right with me. Naturally it will and has attracted children and young adults to them.
I get the attraction if you're quitting smoking and that's all they should have been for but the marketing of them has gone far behind that.
Someone in work never smoked but every hour or so now has to go outside to inhale a load of nicotine and whatever else and puff out salted caramel bubblegum vapour.

No, but there’s very little research been carried out, but it looks very much like it will cause cancers.
Besides which, rubbish like this can be the start of a slippery slope.

Same point.

I thought you had to be 18 to buy this stuff
Re: Vapes banned at the stadium yet on sale at the gate
This seems crazy. I hate to imagine the NHS bill for all this in the next few decades.
Re: Vapes banned at the stadium yet on sale at the gate
It's not just the possible health issues, it's also the fact that they disposable. The amount of waste created is a problem.

Do these condoms ever wear trainers, or is it always boots ?
Re: Vapes banned at the stadium yet on sale at the gate
I think its a public health timebomb, we should be banning them ASAP and just having them available on prescription for free for people who want to stop smoking.
there were some teachers on the radio a few weeks back, saying it is far worse of a problem than smoking ever was. one child couldn't even get through a 2 hour exam without becoming agitated and disruptive because they needed the nicotine so regularly
Re: Vapes banned at the stadium yet on sale at the gate
Are they on the club's land? I don't think the club should be encouraging vape sales in all honesty. It's bad optics if nothing else.
Re: Vapes banned at the stadium yet on sale at the gate
They are horrible things.
Why would a bloke in his forties want to smell like candy floss whilst puffing like Thomas the tank engine.
Have you seen chest x-rays of the effects of vapes?
They are a danger to kids, and that stall is breaking the law if peddling them to 14 year olds.
