Maybe it's a question for the @SLO_BFC ?It is not illegal to vape in public places including stadia and pubs. A non vaping policy is very common and private businesses are fully entitled to impose a ban if they wish and many do. It is a matter for the club and stewards to enforce if they wish, I have no idea what the policy is.
They are not allowed in the ground.Is it illegal to vape at matches ? guy in front of me keeps using one and I had to ask him to stop as it was blowing in my face. He did stop but was muttering. Other people around us agreed with me. I didn't want to cause a scene but if carries on I will.
Exactly it’s all about being considerate to those around you .I vape but never do it in the ground when I can get to the match. I try to be considerate to the people around me.
From your linkIts classed as smoking in an enclosed workplace. https://www.gov.uk/smoking-at-work-the-law
It's also policy of the club under their entry rules. All clubs officials should stop it.
Edit: just because the supporter isn't at work, he still must comply with the law. Its the same law that prohibited smoking in pubs. The stadium is classed as an enclosed space. Outside even on BFC land, its not enforceable unless its under the underpass of the west stand.
Whether or not vaping falls under smoking at work law legislation, entry policy will be no vaping within the stadium.From your link
"The law doesn’t apply to e-cigarettes. Employers can decide if they can be used on their premises."
I am always amazed at how much vapour these things can kick out . Sometimes it’s like sitting next to a bloody smoke bomb !I'm torn over this.
I'm a never smoker; but given the addictive nature of nicotine and the stressful nature of football; it's almost inevitable.
I do think that people who vape, vape more than most smokers smoke. From experience, vapers seem to have less time between needing the nicotine top up.
I think providing there's a little bit of courtesy (in the same way must people are careful about swearing around young kids) I'd not ban it.
But I can understand if you've got asthma etc, or some dickhead is almost blowing it in your face, why you'd not want it for 90 minutes.
Only when crowned champions or after victories against The NobbersAre cigars allowed?
It is someone else's business. It's the clubs business and like all stadiums, vaping like smoking is banned.Most places don't want to ban this harmless British medical association recommended practice but do so to save hassle from self righteous do gooders moaning about it .Some people always have to have a bee in their bonnet it seems to make them happy .Think it's sad even seen people grassing on people harmlessly vaping on their cruise balcony's which is pathetic .I vape everywhere and nobody going to stop me I don't blow any harmless water vapour out I stealth vape to avoid the do gooders whining about it .It's nobody else's business really
It’s not harmless, it makes me choke like I have asthma and even cigarette smoke doesn’t do that to me.Most places don't want to ban this harmless British medical association recommended practice but do so to save hassle from self righteous do gooders moaning about it .Some people always have to have a bee in their bonnet it seems to make them happy .Think it's sad even seen people grassing on people harmlessly vaping on their cruise balcony's which is pathetic .I vape everywhere and nobody going to stop me I don't blow any harmless water vapour out I stealth vape to avoid the do gooders whining about it .It's nobody else's business really
Agree with this. At the back of the south we have to suffer them staggering too and from the Heineken - throughout the game.It’s no worse than some pissed up nobhead stinking of ale around you imo. None are nice n both as bad but club makes cash from ale so that makes it ok.
They're there to stop people smuggling chips into the groundGet the stewards involved….that’s what they’re there for!
You could put a chip in an empty vape case?They're there to stop people smuggling chips into the ground
Do you stop moaning when you vape- or can you multi-task?Our performance at Bolton meant it was never out of my mouth. Don't do it at Bloomfield, maybe the odd sneaky one but mindful of people around me.
Must be proud that you need to suck on plastic because you can’t handle life’s everyday ups and downs.

Most of the ingredients are already in some asthma inhalers, so probably not harmfiul to asthmaticsI'm torn over this.

So you think if some ignorant berk blows smoke in my face I'm a righteous do gooder if I complain and ask him to stop ?Most places don't want to ban this harmless British medical association recommended practice but do so to save hassle from self righteous do gooders moaning about it .Some people always have to have a bee in their bonnet it seems to make them happy .Think it's sad even seen people grassing on people harmlessly vaping on their cruise balcony's which is pathetic .I vape everywhere and nobody going to stop me I don't blow any harmless water vapour out I stealth vape to avoid the do gooders whining about it .It's nobody else's business really
Had to ask a ‘lady’ to stop who kept leaning past her two kids and blowing it straight in my face every 2 minutes. Should be barred if they’re notIs it illegal to vape at matches ? guy in front of me keeps using one and I had to ask him to stop as it was blowing in my face. He did stop but was muttering.

Kryst Sooty, you've got me wondering and worrying now. Mine do tend to figure at the more aggressive end of the spectrum.There was someone farting near us at the Northampton game & that really did make your eyes water. Even the biggest vapes would pail into insignificance compared with that. What a load of whingers.

Blimey I'd you can pick up an SBD all the way from J block to E block it's time someone saw a doctorNo E
Do you mind. I've just had confirmation of possibly my only talent in life. I'm not having any halfwit, and probably unsympathetic, GP suggest ways to stop it.Blimey I'd you can pick up an SBD all the way from J block to E block it's time someone saw a doctor
Im afraid J and, depending on wind direction (not mine), three blocks either side will just have to learn to adapt and survive
