| Although it doesn't bother me that much, it seems to be bothering a lot of fans and this will surely affect attendance's, the clubs gotta look at reversing this. Or at least re-issuing the ban
£4 for a pint as well I noticed on Wednesday..

Agree with all your points.
I think the clubs reasoning is "a lot of people smoke, this is a 'disputed' healthier option and they're willing to pay. Why not?"

People tend to talk a good game but when it comes to it they poop out.

The big difference is you can't passively drink someone else's alcohol.

| You may not passively drink alcohol but you can get caught in the effects of alcohol on other people. I.e drunk and disordaly behaviour. No laws are being broken so I'm afraid people need to accept it. And if you'll avoid a game of rugby league due to the fear that someone may have an E-cig then I feel extremely sorry for you.

| Perhaps the club should ban all diesel vehicles with a 500 yard exclusion zone on match days so that we don't all inhale the particulates that are carcinogenic. Get over yourselves.

| Are the club promoting smoking? No, vaping is not smoking
Is it the clubs responsibility if children smoke? No, look after your own kids and stop expecting other societal figures to do it.
Is it dangerous? No ACTUAL proof regardless of the scare stories.
Have i ever smoked or vaped? No
Does it bring in much needed money to a sport that doesn't have a whole lot? Yes
Has there been a massive overreacttion by people who are just a little bit precious? IMO Yes
Let's ban salt it has Sodium and Cholride in it, dangerous or what?
Water has Hydrogen in it, do people know that stuff is explosive? O M G.
Any money is welcome as long as it's legal to me.
P.S. Passive vaping...

| Disappointed to hear this. I attended a football match at Boltons ground a few weeks ago and there were a group of "vapers" in front of me. They spent virtually there whole 90 minutes blowing dense clouds of vapour into the air, and believe me, I could smell it.
As for the alcohol debate, I never drink at matches and find that those who do usually end up chucking it down the back of my legs. Absolute pain.

HOW DARE PEOPLE LEGALLY DO WHAT THEY WANT!! What kind of world are we living in when you might have to smell something....#ThatchersBritain
You sound like you'd be more suited to the North Stand where you can can a nice snack and soft beverage. You can clap politely when we score and not have to worry about the naughty boys at the back enjoying themselves.

| I don't smoke but anyone smoking around me or vaping around me doesn't bother me & i know that my health is in more danger walking from my car to the ground from exhaust fumes than from 2 hours of possible water vapour. My lungs are knackered but that is from years of working in the fume filled environment of a transport yard.

| I was very proud of our club when it too the decision on a blanket ban to smoking a year ahead of the white paper recommendation.
we even got commended in the house of Lords about the move.
my club that took moral decisions before profit a bold move that involved us fans signing a questionnaire and our club acting upon it....
but now I'm embarrassed by the u'turn, albeit e-ciging.

| #### me, there's some right precious so'n'sos on here.
Today's society makes me vomit at times. Everyone getting offended by everything, so they want it banning.
No one's aloud to think anything slightly controversial. Should any body chant anything at a match, the bloke on the tannoy's on. Wagon Wheel's are nowhere big as they used to be. Stella's been watered down when you buy them in 15 packs (wtf). If Sky televises a prematch tunnel scene,when the players are in and one of them swears, presenter immediately apologises.....tell you what, don't put a mic'd up camera in there in the first place, idiots.
Next, you'll be telling me I can't call James Graham a fxt gxngxr bxstxrd should he return to Blighty.
If Warrington want to ban something, get them to ban farting. I've stood next to some right smelly gits, over the years.
Yours, Victor Meldrew.

Tell you what, duckie. Go and tell Emirates Airlines to xxxx right off with their sponsorship money, as their planes pollute the sky
Didn't think you would, eh.

Never smoked in my life (silly "passtime " imo, but hey-ho, each to their own) especially as I have a history of getting bronchitis, but on this occasion, I may join you, Lost in Leeds, just to piddle off a load of moaning minnies.
Do they do a lamb naganzi flavour
