We all know by now that we need to keep a safe distance from each other.


What about people Vaping


Tom McLean, chief scientific advisor to The Nanotera Group, said ?respiratory droplets? contained in the haze created by those using e-cigarettes and vaporizers could lead to the Covid-19 strain of the condition being unintentionally spread.

We can see the 'Smoke' - Haze when Vapers exhale. It gives us an indication of how peoples breath travels.


Just be careful.

God blimey, I never even thought of this.


More reasons to adjust your day.

I find I?m in and around home mostly during the day, with a last minute foray out to the shops (if absolutely required) to avoid pretty much anyone.


Now ?vapers? are added to avoid list.

The vape tool doesn?t actually do anything, it?s the person exhaling that creates the cloud of ?smoke? isn?t it ?

If so, then all the vape smoke is doing is highlighting how big the cloud is when someone exhales - whether vaping/smoking or not.

This means when someone is not vaping/smoking, the ?cloud? of exhaled air (which you can?t see) is at least as big as a vape cloud.

So, rather than there being an ?additional? danger, doesn?t this actually just show how careful we need to be around EVERYONE ?!

If I missed something, please point it out !

That's the most excellent typo I've seen for some time :)

I think people Vaping Do enjoy making Clouds of Vape smoke. Much exaggerated to people just breathing out...


There is this plonker in the EDT that when standing at the Bar loves to blow his Vape 'Smoke'

up through the Overhead lights that surround the Bar.


Foxy.

Yes they seem to.

A friend in the country has a vape 'bar', his customers drop by to hang out and talk 'vape', lean against the bar and blow out voluminous clouds of whatever that shit is.

Gross !

People's breath travels whether you can see it or not, Fox. Is it more realistic and scary to see it?


Rather stand closer to a vaper than a smoker, regardless of viruses of any type. Exhaled vape is negligible in terms of harm when compared to passive smoking. Exhaled vape in the UK is probably cleaner than some of the so-called air that many people inhale in parts of some towns and cities. The coronavirus pandemic does not flourish because some people vape. The risk of fatality and impact on other health issues and health provision for all because of smoking is sadly incalculable - viruses or not.


With covid in play you should have even more reason to celebrate the fact that more people are vaping and less are smoking...


... and if you can judge your distance by their exhaled vapes maybe stick closer to the vapors rather than those stealthy non-vapors with their stealthy exhalations which could be anywhere.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
