Electronic cigs banned from pub
02 April 2009
SNIPPED said:A FURIOUS smoker has hit out at a local pub after he was banned from using an electronic cigarette.
Derek Green says he has never had a problem at other venues when he has been inhaling the 'e-cigarette', which does not contain tobacco and does not create smoke, although they do emit a vapour or mist.
"I have used it in other bars and restaurants and never had a problem before. I always ask, just to be polite, and once I explain what they are to people they always say it is fine."
A spokesman for Harvester Queensway said: "These cigarettes look and behave like a standard cigarette but their use is relatively uncommon in the restaurant. Therefore to avoid any confusion for our staff or customers the gentleman was asked and agreed to smoke in the designated external area."
Anti-smoking group Ash says many of the products are made in China, where quality control is "not very good."
