I've no problem with ****s who vape until they try using one in my flat or the car when my boy's in the back.

Does not bother me at all .

Even adds comedic value when you are driving slowly in traffic and the driver exhales <laugh>

Though if you can’t use a mobile phone whilst driving how can you smoke ?
 
There used to be an old guy who wandered around an estate down here chuffing on his pipe, always found it strange.

It seems to be a grey area of the law that people do not understand, whether it is smoking, drinking a soft drink or eating a sandwich, if you are not deemed in full control of the vehicle with your eyes on the road you can be stopped and ticketed.

Just looked on wiki;

Motorists can also be fined when eating and drinking while driving. However, there is no actual law that prevents it. ... This is because police officers could charge you for dangerous or careless driving. Therefore the driver can be fined £100 and land three penalty points.22 Oct 2018

From the point of view of someone who doesn't smoke Vaping is a hellova lot better than normal smoking for non smokers, I'd rather a cloud of the fruity smelling stuff to the rank smell of cigarettes. I really don't understand why people smoke cigarettes. Well I do understand that it's an addiction but you know what I mean.

Amen ... used to hate the ****s who would finish their food then light up as yours was being served ... smoking ban in restaurants was great for me <cheers>
