My petition:

Stop the government plan to allow vaping in offices and enclosed public spaces.

I find the excessive smoke from vaping in enclosed spaces quite upsetting and which makes me cough. It would be a step backwards in allowing smoking in confined spaces due to the effects upon others nearby. On a train a person may be vaping in the next seat which is unacceptable.

2018 Public Health England published a report that vaping is less harmfu than tobacco, but health experts from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the University of Liverpool claim evidence used in the report was flawed, based on inconclusive evidence which was tainted by vested interests. Writing in the BMJ, Professor Martin McKee and Professor Simon Capewell said there was no reliable evidence to show that e-cigarettes were safe or that they did not provide a ‘gateway’ to smoking for youngsters.

It's not smoke.

when I cough it seems like smoke! Just like the old days when I was trapped on a train with a smoker and felt sick all the way as they sent smoke across my face for 300 miles.

Try being in an enclosed space with 3 or 4 people with different 'flavour' vapes. The combined smell ends up as a mix of cess pit and the perfume counters of a large department store.

Signing just because they smell so vile! I don't mind non scented but an adult smoking some sort of chemical-wannabe fruit flavour is just embarrassing, and vomit inducing to be around!

I've just signed it, it really isn't nice when you walk into somebody's vape cloud. Sometimes I would rather walk past somebody smoking a real cigarette.

Whenever I walk past someone vaping, I always think "Good on you for quitting cigs". I agree that it shouldn't be allowed in enclosed spaces but I've got no contempt for those who partake.
