What Advantages we have made. Since the days of the pencil vapor sticks. The gas station ones looked like cigarettes but were to heavy to hold in your lips like a real cigarette. Then the development of the Vapor Shops. We got the thin pencil battery with the small refillable tank a couple of wicked atomizers all in a cute kit. They were made of metal not glass. You charged the battery by twisting it into a small USB charger, which wouldn’t last long. Especially if you were a heavy smoker. If you pulled to hard on your draw you got a mouth full of liquid. The tanks where prone to leaking and if you laid it down you may not find it. Then they created a lanyard that allowed you to hang it around your neck. Believe me looking back through old photos they look terrible. However despite all these things us smokers thought we had finally gotten a break. Considering the fact that the Laws had banned smoking everywhere including bars at this point. Then we fast forward a few years and the Laws are banning Vaping everywhere. So my hope for the future is not so much about the Syfi look, finger prints, phone capabilities, or any function that will allow for these vape cloud competitions. My future upgrades would be ones that would finally prove our vapor smoke (cloud) is not harmful to people, pets, or anything else in our surroundings. Which I think the only way for this to be able to be justified is by our vapor not showing up when we exhale it. I can verify that as with actual cigarette smoke, vapor smoke (cloud) if held for a short time will show no visible sign when exhaled. That is the only way I can see that we can go back to vaping anywhere. Simply because no matter the study preformed to prove the vapor as harmless there is always another to say that it is. So if we can exhale a non visible form of vapor there is nothing there to say is damaging. That is my hope for the future of Vaping.
Nice post Kat I was reading the other day on some vape website that there is 2 hospitals in England has vape shops in the hospital and they allow and encourage you to vape on hospital grounds
This is what I read
Two NHS hospitals in the West Midlands, Sandwell General Hospital and City Hospital, Birmingham, have vape shops on their premises. These shops are run by Ecigwizard and are part of a broader initiative to create “smoke-free” environments by offering vaping as an alternative to smoking. The hospitals, both part of the Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust, have implemented comprehensive smoking bans, including the use of security cameras and enforcement officers to ensure compliance.
The move to allow vape shops in hospitals aligns with recommendations from Public Health England, which recognizes vaping as a less harmful alternative to smoking. The hospitals are aiming to reduce smoking rates and improve the overall health of the environment for patients, staff, and visitors.
While these two hospitals are the most prominent examples, other NHS facilities may also have similar policies or allow vaping in designated areas. For example, some mental health trusts allow patients to vape in their rooms or designated outdoor areas.
as it seems now in the Uk vaping is becoming more socially accepted and proven to be healthier than the traditional smoking
Let’s hope this progress continues.
