vaping in the E.R.

**tinear** · 04-20-2009, 07:30 PM

while waiting to get some stitches last night i discreetly vaped while on the hallway gurny. let me tell you, it made waitng for the attending ER doc soooo much easier.
though i certainly wasn't trying to be conspicuous, not one aid, EMT, nurse or patient seemed to notice. of course, i'm sure they all had other things on their mind.
anyway, thought i'd share.

cheers!

My son was in hospital a week ago - I vaped in the ER as well as in his room, I pretty much had no choice after 8:30pm at night, they locked the hospital up and I wasn't going to leave the room in case I got locked OUT!

LOL thanks Wiz, it was a super difficult time, and the e-cig helped a TON!

I did have to step out now and again for an analog, for the extra HIT and a break from the hospital thing.... but for all the time in-between, the e-cig was a LIFE saver for ME!

Heh, I've been thinking, if anyone asks me what I'm up to or assumes that I'm smoking tobacco or whatever, I'd just tell them it was an asthma inhaler.

Hmmm,....not to be rude or an a**hole, but even as an E-smoker myself. I do believe if my infant child were next to you while in the E.R. during your venture. One of us would be heading to the infirmary.

I think the term safe cigarettes has been taken out of context. I'd have to agree that it is safer than analogs. But are those around you safe from contact? No, sir. The vapor still carries nicotine, and depending on what you smoke...it's probably going to be higher than a standard cigarette.

It's enough that we have to endure airborne pathogens and bacteria in hospitals. But for me to have to worry about people vaping or smoking around my newborn is something I won't tolerate.

During societies acquired knowledge of effects from chemicals of cigarettes or cigarettes alike. Establishments made smoking and non-smoking sections for considerations to others, so they may CHOOSE what they are willing to expose themselves too. Hospitals have been taboo to smoke in and now by. Many hospitals do not permit the use of Aerosol hair spray, or anything that can be airborne for the concerns of others and allergies.

You my friend, were willing to put others at risk, for self and curiosity. Unacceptable.
