North Carolina E-Smokers

Received notice today that management will not allow smoking in the buildings and all outdoor areas of the property, effective Jan 1, 2011.

Here's their Definition of Smoking:

"The Term SMOKING means inhaling, exhaling, breathing or carrying any lighted tobacco product, INCLUDING high-tech smoking devices commonly referred to as electronic cigarettes."

I suspect that the people who wrote the policy, don't even know what an electronic cigarette is or how it works.

I was expecting the No Smoking Rule and was planning on using E-cigs to get through it, but this really put a damper in my plans.

I'm interested in hearing what others have to say about this.

And can they REALLY prohibit the use of E-Cigs?

Any help for this person??

Well ignorance is the key, many people don't know. They see the vapor and assume it's smoke. As far as I know it's still legal under the NC smoking ban but management has the right to say what goes in their establishment.

I guess the two options would be to try and talk to the management and politely explain what vaping is or vape anyway and don't get caught. I can't condone rule breaking only because it can hurt our cause in the long run.

Are there any stores or tobacconists in the Raleigh area who carry e-cigs/supplies? I'm trying to convert a friend who lives over that way

Hey. I'm in Winston-Salem. I and a few other vapers meet at Mossy's (Lewisville-Clemmons Rd) for football on Sundays, where we vape merrily away with no complaints from anybody. Welcome to join, or suggest another place. Got an RJR guy we're trying to convert, but he's holding the company line so far...hee.

Kernersville here. Right between Greensboro and Winston-Salem.

Would love to organize a meet of some sort.

Here's a list of NC vaping sites. As far as I know, NC Vape is the only one in/near Raleigh.

**I had another one in my links not in the map search. It's Misty Mountain Vapors in Raleigh. Never dealt w/ them but there's another.

So I guess he'd probably be banning the use of inhalers for asthmatics as well then?

Do we have our own social group yet or are we just using this thread in the US section? I did not see a NC one and figured I would start one if did not have something yet.

We are looking at having a meeting in the Raleigh area on Jan 29th. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to have it? Also, if there are any hotels near the restaurant, can you please list those too. Thanks!

 

[Skyway]

I will be interested in this. It is only around 40 mins away from me.

 

[QueenInNC]

We just need to find a place to do it

Any ideas? Anyone!? lol

I am also planning one in Charlotte for the weekend before or the weekend after.

Well, if no one from Raleigh area does not come up with a place I can ask some of my car club buddies from around that area. They find some pretty interesting places to meet up.

 

[devilock76]

The 29th I have a gig that night. Well that is the way it looks today.

Kernersville here. Right between Greensboro and Winston-Salem.

[QueenInNC]

It's looking like the same place in Raleigh for January 29th! There will be some special guests in NC for this one!

I will post the details when I know them.

 

[QueenInNC]

Ok, here is the plan...
January 29th at 5pm at Carolina Ale House

Raleigh Hotels - Hampton Inn Raleigh Midtown Hotel & Suites, NC - North Carolina
but there are other hotels in the area. This one is a little over half a mile from the restaurant.

I am also putting together a meeting in Charlotte for February for those that can't make this one.

PM me with any questions
Thanks!

ETA: There will be some special guests in NC for this one

 

[Skyway]

Unless they are famous what makes them so special? lol

 

[QueenInNC]

Well, I guess you could say that they are celebrities of the vaping community

 

[Skyway]

Ah ok, I did not know there were celebrities. I look forward to going to this. What normally goes on in these things?
Meet and greet and show what we all use?
