Gary Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Seems to have prompted a lot of negative publicity lifting the e-cigs ban at the Halliwell Jones http://www.warrington-worldwide.co.uk/articles/20079/1/Wolves-e-cigarette-deal-sparks-storm-of-protest-after-stadium-ban-u-turn/Page1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Alex Wilson, Wolves’ commercial manager, said: “We initially introduced the vaping ban as a ‘just in case’ measure, but are now happy to reverse this as more news on the industry comes to light. money gets offered to us! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Well said Baz and that's exactly how it seems to me too.People had got used to the overall 'no smoking' ban so why on earth change it ? Surely people watching a game can last a couple of hours without having to have a cig anyway, hardly a big deal really.Making a rod for their own backs in my opinion and I wonder how long it will be until some people start lighting up a real cig hoping the stewards wont notice the difference from a distance ?

Davy51 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 How long will it be before a match is abandoned because the ref can't see the corner flags due to the mist generated from e cigs ? This could be a crisis in our game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Lets hope they get a sponsor who makes flags,and hey presto the flag ban will vanish But in all honesty whats the fuss we wore Vladivar Vodka and Greenalls logos for years and yes alcohol causes countless problems, So what harm does vaping do ??? Oh and just to point out I do not smoke. Lets all chill out theres more important things in life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Does anyone actually know what's in e-gigs ? Is the vapor they produced just plain steam vapor or does it contain chemicals too......and are they all regulated and tested now ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the issue is promoting the company - I think it is more an issue with reversing a ban (which must have been put in place for some good reason including policing smoking issues) and then completely reversing the ban without any proper consultation as soon as money is placed on the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was typical of the high handed approach the club has taken in the last few years. Back in the Cullen Era 2004/2008 we had a so so team but an electric atmosphere at the club on and off the field, go in a pub and people were talking rugby ! brilliant pre match entertainment and Sean Mellor rousing the fans with his over the top enthusiasm "Perry Comos Magic Moments" and remember Jedward and the mickey taking music as the away side came on the field The Andrew Johns match was a perfect example. Now no game compare/host (to talk of) flags banned mutter a song and get warned about your language and what have you got ? falling attendances and no atmosphere. I mean even the Drummers have given up and gone home Simon Moran is in showbiz why isnt his experience put to good use ??? We seem to rely on fans just to turn up and put up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Does anyone actually know what's in e-gigs ? well according to the one i use it is. propylene glycol,glycerine,flavourings(not stated), nicotine. also there is a list of what to do in cetain circumstances. above which is the warning tocxic if swallowed, very toxic in contact with skin. enough to make one want to go back to the kind that just kill you slowly.

Davy51 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 E cigs are a lot safer than the exhaust fumes we breathe in daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P J Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I don't think exhaust fumes are going to emblazoned on the Club shirt. Absolute crass, commercially driven hypocrisy but I bet nobody is surprised in the slightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I swapped from fags to e-cigs two and a half years ago and I think it's one of the best things I've ever done. I can have a quick puff when and wherever I feel like and in all the time, only one person has objected but he was Mr bonkers who thinks he knows everything.I think it's understandable in places like the stadium where e-cigs that look like the real thing could cause confusion leading people lighting up real ones. There were similar issues in the taxi trade but the rules where simply changed to allow them provided the fake light up end glowed blue rather than red. That said, most people that started on e-cigs have quickly moved on to devices that don’t look anything like a cigarette so the confusion argument is largely out of the window and it's all down to personal option.The argument used to be that cigarettes smelled bad and had hundreds of different toxins in the smoke but even though that's all changed, there will always be some that are not happy. Personally I'd find it objectionable to stand next to someone smelling of beer and mouthing off obscenities so it works both ways I suppose.
