Sorry, but it does, your not inhaling the harmful smoke/tar 

Plus, atm, perfectly legal to use in workplaces 

I don't think that's the case in Wales. 

Banned from all our premises as well.

Years ago everyone thought that smoking tobacco was safe. Today everyone thinks that vaping is safe. The only thing that is guaranteed to be safe is clean non polluted air. I used to smoke, a hell of a lot. I gave up about 5 years ago, no patches, no gum, no vaping. For a long time after making the decision I always kept a pack in my pocket. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before scare stories about vaping start to emerge. It's still too new for any long term effects to be seen.

My understanding is it's not as good as not smoking. But better than smoking. Nicotine is the drug. Tar is the most harmful bit.

Instead you are deliberately inhaling finely atomised chemicals of dubious origin. But they are your lungs.
I'll stick with my thirty year Malteser habit

I always buy (in a vape shop) liquid that has been manufactured in the UK, the various agencies are not going to allow harmful chemicals to be used (that they are aware of anyway) unlike liquids manufactured in other parts of the world and bought of the net.

Or inside an airport...

That's the owner of the premises choice.....perfectly legal and allowed in my place of work 

Oh and I did have a look at the Wales government website and could not find any mention of vaping being illegal in places of work..

You have more faith in the various agencies than I do. Plus, you're assuming that the manufacturers employ appropriately qualified chemists rather than a bloke with some test tubes concocting a blend that tastes nice.  And all chemicals are harmful in the wrong dose; even water will kill you.

Why do vapers always seem to emit vast clouds of smoke?

Fixed...

Personally, I actually prefer the smell of tobacco.

Need to be banned in all public places.

[Baron Von Spongebob]

Well we might as well ban breathing too. 

What harm is someone doing vaping ?

We will all have the same haircut next.

Merry Christmas to you...

The vapeurs, pun intended, that I encounter seem to posess the same air of entitlement as vegans and Prius drivers...

If I wanted to inhale a nicotine laden chemical redition of vanilla with a hint of jasmine, then I would smoke. Cigars probably, just to be irksome... but I don't. On both counts.

I can't see a problem with it myself. On the whole, it's much less intrusive than "proper" smoking. I wouldn't let someone smoke in my house, for example, (and didn't do so myself back in the bad old days) but I have no problem with visitors vaping, as some people have more offensive air fresheners in their houses. I don't have a problem with vaping in pubs, etc. and see no reason why it should necessarily be banned where smoking is.

There isn't a lot of regulation of what goes into them at the moment, so there are, of course, some unknowns, but there's no way it can be as harmful as smoking, in my view. It has helped many of my family and friends continue to imbibe in a less dangerous way so I'm all for it.

I suspect the treasury will be looking for a way to replace the dent it has made in their tax take sooner or later, however, so I suspect it won't last.

Crikey this threads gone south lol

In my opinion there's no way of knowing how harmful it is. Only after 50 years of it being regularly used can we determine.

As a kid I used to go in WMC's when they were full of smoke. I suppose that's a good thing they're not like that anymore from a health pov.

As for users of vape I actually can't remember seeing someone use one in the street. But then I rarely venture in to town or pubs.

What amazes me is the technology. Mines got a 4" battery. A puff counter lol a wattage adjuster. A tank comprising the liquid. A "coil" which upon inspection appears to be gauze. And all these things are connected via threads and tiny o rings lol

God the Turks have bee doing this for years. But then I suppose it's more difficult carrying a 4ft sheisha pipe lol
