For the safety of other passengers.....???

 

[MadTz]

the anti-vape stickers will be stuck on the bus soon it if not already...

 

[MrKraken]

See, if they'd just put "for the comfort" then I'd say on your way say no more. But for the safety?

 

[Chegs]

I don't use buses,but if I did...I'd still vape & verbally destroy anyone idiotic enough to try & stop me(by pulling out my phone,going online & chant the mantra from any of the recent studies confirming that e-cigarettes are legal/non-lethal/& healthier​ than stinkies)

Could always argue semantics and say a PV isn't an e-cig I suppose but that would depend on whether one didn't mind being turfed off the bus and end up having to walk.

They've got the right to ask people not to vape on their own property, but you'll note, it says nothing about legal consequences/fines because they have basis to impose any.

2 ways to combat it if unhappy :

Militant approach: Ignore the sign, vape on and face the consequences of being turfed off the bus.

Educational approach: Send Arriva literature regarding their perceived risks to other passengers from vapour and hope they might learn something.

Other than that the only alternatives I can come up with are drive your own car/motorbike, get a taxi, cycle or walk to where you want to get to.

I know it hardly seems fair for them to ban vaping without a valid reason, but it's their property, their rules.

Well to be fair joebo The driver trying to drip his liquid in his triple coiled atty whilst negotiating a hairpin is not really safe for people is it?

Funnily enough, just after my post I sent them an email.

 

[MrPT]

lets just hope it gets rebranded as a medicine, are they going to ban people using medicines on the buses then?

Meh, i am bored of this argument already, there is so much propaganda going against people making a healthier lifestyle choice the facts are going to get buried. Tobacco lobbyists have the money to spam falsified twisted reports, the gov't here in blighty is losing roughly £8mil/day in revenue from lost sales and the public is too nieve/stupid/dimwitted to make up their own mind.
