    I get that. I use a nicotine salt vape out and about that puts out a minimal amount of vapor to mitigate that. Sorry to hear that. I really do try to be courteous though I get plenty of people don’t give a fuck.

    To be honest, I wfh, and I pretty much only go out to go to the grocery.

    Best of luck on the asthma

      I have been around smokers all my days. Hell would even go out with fhe smoker in our group if they went outside to continue the conversation. I don’t know what it is about those particular vape liquids could be a particular chemical or just hitting the back of my throat with such a pungent smell just right.

      I’m more or less fine with the asthma having it 40 yrs at this point. Although I just got my arse kicked at my annual check for not using my reliever as much as I should.

      In terms of op I don’t hate this. It doesn’t affect those legally smoking now unlike when the Scottish government raised it to 18 from 16 making something addictive and legal for some to addictive and illegal. That shit was just cruel

        There’s only actually a couple flavors I’ve found over the years that I’ve been able to tolerate honestly. A lot of them just taste straight chemical.

        I assume you mean inhaler? I was under the impression those were just as needed… I had asthma as a kid but I grew out of it luckily.

        But how is a ban really going to help? When has prohibition of mentally altering substances actually worked?

          There’s 2 types of inhaler

          1 is preventative and usually a steroid of some sort. the other is as needed like you describe that’s the releaver.

          Unless the attack was bad enough that it was a fight to breath I’d just stop what i was doing and focus on my breathing till It passed. This was bad I have been told.

          As for the ban who can say most of the sales here are packs rather than lose tobacco fir rolling. Eventually it will get unprofitable for the tobacco companies to sell here.

          Tbh until the introduction of vaping there had been a downward trend in smoking numbers all my days.
