Starbucks 25 Feet smoke free Policy E-cig Challenge

[smokie]

There Policy is suppose to include electronic cigarettes too I heard, but the one manager said it was OK to use with in the 25 feet of this particular store.

My local starbucks came out while me and a few fellow vapers were shootin the breeze and reminded us that smoking wasn't allowed at the outside tables. When we told em they were electronic cigarettes they just said no problem carry on as long as we only did it outside. The lady was even kinda impressed with all of our mods. She was one of those that thought all E Cigs were the Njoys and Blu Cigs.

Yep that is what the manager sort of told us also, guess the mangers have more sense then there corporate office who dictates policy.

Looks like they're smoking normal cigs in that video? I don't understand....

How can companies do this anyway? Isn't it public space? How can they say you can't smoke near it.
I can't tell people not to pollute with their cars within 25 metres of my house.

There policy were suppose to include ecigs, and it is private property. Also in some states ecigs are banned in public places like smoking is.

None of that crap in the UK....Yet. I pray to god they never come out with such an idiotic policy. I mean its vapor not smoke. I don't mind if they say we would prefer you don't vape inside, restaurant, pub etc but i hate when they say no smoking and include e-cigs under that label. Ignorance is not an excuse.

I have personally boycotted STARBUCKS for about a year now, when I found out they had an anti vaping rule in there shops. I can find a wireless hang out and good coffee too, without STARBUCKS. I.E., Bigby Coffee does not have an anti vaping ordinance.

I vape outside of Starbucks all the time, mainly because I work at a target with a Starbucks in it so it's target property

Could be worst like the state ban we have where you can not vape in any inside public place. Thank you for sharing your experience, Vape On

Funny. I still see people smoking at the tables outside of Starbucks from time to time in Sacramento. Not vaping, smoking!

What does an 'uppie' and foot fetish video of someone smoking a cigarette have to do with challenging Starbucks' vaping ban? Did they know they were being filmed, or was the guy hiding in the bushes?

Yep, all depends on the individual store manager or complaints.

They were smoking, we were vaping, and doing some reviews. Never stalking, tables where a few feet apart from each other, and in a open public place.

Hiding! No, we were the table next to them in a public place. Never really noticed the feet as you pointed out here, but have to admit she is a cute gal.

Thats why I'm missing being stationed in okinawa more and more.... the starbucks out there had ashtrays in the tables outside.... the zoo and aquarium and most of the outdoor public places I remember, if you couldn't freely smoke, they had smoking areas everywhere, even some of the shrines and castles.... but then again, they still have cigarette vending machines everywhere and smoking rooms in airports....
Vaping wasn't big, as far as I noticed, but a few of my buddies there had either blu or v2's and never confronted about using those indoors where smoking wasnt allowed, but I don't remember them just using them inside whenever they felt like it.

But, but what goes better with coffee than a good vape?!?! Jerks...

Hey, I just drove through there this weekend, while on a family vacation to Oregon... Definitely people smoking at the outside tables in Woodland... didn't stop in Sac proper.

Even though, this seems like an innocent thread, regarding a psudo COOL hangout for coffee, it is the tip of the iceberg and really is as serious an issue as can be. Below is a read well worth anyone who values the truth, and how corruption is at war with it, how can a popular hang out, be against innovation??? hmmmm!

Thus the authors have classified 4749 active smokers as victims of passive smoking using the specious argument that when smoking in their offices they also inhale the ambient air filled with their own smoke! I have previously produced a complete analysis of this outrageous report [5]. It obviously did not elicit any response. In my analysis, I pointed out that this report was presented at a conference held in Luxembourg on June 2, 2005, in the presence of the highest authorities of Europe, by the associations mandated to adopt it and under the sponsorship of GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer precisely at the same moment as the launch of Champix ®.

But in terms of marketing, the operation is a failure. Indeed, not only have smokers, despite being stigmatized and persecuted, did not rush off to the pharmacies in response to the bans, but sales of all drugs known as ‘’nicotine replacement therapy’’ are plummeting. And this notwithstanding the intense indirect television advertising that should in fact be banned since in France it is not permitted to advertize for medication that is reimbursed by social security. One has to be blind not to see through their hardly veiled scheme that these ads make smokers aware of the drugs that are eligible for reimbursement so they can insist that their doctor prescribes those particular drugs to them.

But the major concern for anyone who really cares about the health of smokers, is that such drastic measures are counterproductive to smoking cessation. The official sales of tobacco increased while the smuggling figures do not show any reduction. The prevalence of smoking among youth is increasing. Smoking cessation consultations are increasingly abandoned by their clients. The Diplomas of Tobacology no longer attract any students. In defense of their proper identity, smokers now sink into themselves and shut themselves off in a way that public health messages [6] can no longer reach them.
