Vaper in DWS

Is vaping legal while sitting in stands in DWS? Lady in row up a few seats down and upwind about choked me with her stinking vaping on Saturday. Glares didn't stop her. If I had been closer she wouldn't still own her pretty chrome vaper. I did see smokers using the ramps, which is appreciated by those of us who don't smoke or vape.

So what is the smoking/vaping policy in DWS?

I can't answer your question, but as a 2-pack a day smoker, I can add my 2 cents.

I smoke during half time on the huge ramp/section under the original Dawgzilla-tron on the bottom level. At times I linger longer into the 3rd quarter, to change our mojo. But that's it.

As to vaping, often they're former smokers trying to quit, but not always. In my experience people who use e-cigs are less inclined to see their habit & residual "2nd hand smoke" as obnoxious & unhealthy for others because they are better than us dirty smokers.

Clove cigarettes, black & milds et. al., & vapor exhaust smell horrible & at times make me nauseous. This shouldn't be possible. I shouldn't have much smell or taste left given my own disgusting habit. However, I know my habit is disgusting. I know I should quit. I know others find it intolerable.

Those who "vape" seem to think everyone should enjoy their birthday cake flavored abomination of inhalation. Marlboro Lights aren't hip anymore. The Marlboro Man is dead. Literally & figuratively.

In summarization, I'm a heavy smoker & had she been close to my seats; either I would've had words with her, or I would've lit up myself to prove a point, or that chrome ***** would've been crushed under the heel of my boot.

Rebel Bruiser-esque rant over.

I'm reasonably sure that neither smoking nor vaping is allowed anywhere in the stadium, including the ramps or under the seats.

If it is really an issue for you

simply warn her that smoking in the stadium is not permitted.

If she persist, walk to a portal outlet, and notify a policeman.

It will end.

(I've seen it.)

Appreciate that perspective CochiseCowbell. I'm a former dipper and understand tobacco and how personal folks can feel about it. I'm with you. Had no issue with the folks on the ramps and appreciated their being considerate. Think I'm gonna start bringing Tinks 69 in the squirt bottle with me. If someone doesn't mind me wearing their vape residuals, surely they won't mind wearing my favorite doe in heat scent. Seems like a good trade since the Tinks actually smells good!

If we would have won no one would have bitched about grid lock, CochiseCowbell wouldn't have had words with that dude that kept walking in front of him, our band would have been awesome, that woman wouldn't have needed an e-cig and so on and so forth.

I am a vaporizer and try to respect others by vaping away from folks. However, the guy sitting next to me kept pouring wisky in his cup and had my area smelling like a bar. I dont drink and hate the smell. So before the 2pt conversion and the FG I ripped some monster vapes and blew it in the wind.

I'm pretty sure you can smoke in the concourse. I think all vaping rules should be the same as smoking. I appreciate those that follow these rules. I despise those who don't. (Ramps count as the concourse to me)

Seriously dude? I bet you couldn't even smell it and if you did more than likely it was a pleasant smell other than that nasty cigarette smell. You probably just saw it and thought you smelt it. You need a tampon sissy

Did the vaper smell like candy/fruit or dead skunk? I need to see how progressive DWS has gotten.

I don't think vaping is permissible in the stadium, but neither is alcohol. Given a choice, I'd rather have the vaper than a drunk near me. The vaper isn't likely to throw up on you, and usually acts a little more civilly.

The policy is that a smoker goes to the ramp to smoke. Presumably electronic cigarettes are the same. The alcohol policy in the stadium is that it's illegal ... but obviously not enforced.

LOL!

The guy sitting beside me vapes and it does not seem to bother anyone. Does not bother me and I hate cig smoke.

Your right to vape in public ends where my right to not have to smell it begins.

I vape, but only in the privacy of my home or in my truck. Most people think that vapers are douche canoes, so I don't advertise that I do it. My little sis had a blue on the outside part of the gridiron club last season and security asked her to stop.

There is some "vaping" going on in the scoreboard club on the terrace. Im convinced Im the only one that recognizes the fragrence.

Who wouldve ever guessed that smoking would be made illegal in public while smoking has virtually been made legal in public.
