Bypassblade Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 A Man City fan has had his £1,000 season ticket taken off him, after using an electronic cigarette at half time. Now before all the anti smokers are up in arms saying marvellous just remember this vital piece of law. Manchester City ban supporter for smoking electronic cigarette – after thinking it’s real A lifelong Manchester City fan has appealed to the club after they cancelled his season ticket – because the electronic cigarette he was ‘smoking’ was mistaken for a real one. Electronic cigarettes are widely used by smokers who are trying to give up by giving a hit of nicotine whilst not releasing any of poisonous toxins that normal cigarettes contain. They are not lit by the user, and therefore are exempt from government rules restricting the smoking of lit tobacco in a public place. If I was him I'd want my ST back and compensation and a public apology. http://metro.co.uk/2013/03/22/manchester-city-ban-supporter-for-smoking-electronic-cigarette-after-thinking-its-real-3555276/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He contravened those terms and conditions and was dealt with accordingly. It's not the club's fault that he either didn't bother to read the T&C or chose to ignore them.

Bypassblade Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 They are not banned by law, and what would have been wrong with asking him to prove it was not real, and just asking to put it away. Sorry he is doing no harm, they are NOT illegal I have not read MC's T & C's but surprised if they include electronic fags, they are forever going on about people stopping and then this happens. It is illegal to swear at football but plenty do it, though god knows why its the perfect place to release pent up feelings lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A smoker had his teeth knocked out and lost part of his tongue after a ‘healthy’ electric cigarette exploded in his mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's what's so wrong with the stop stop moaning like a prat when someone lights up a real fag next to you, at least these people are trying to give up their habit and showing consideration. And before you go off on one I DON'T SMOKE It's just that in this day and age no matter what anyone does to help others they get castigated, I'll remember that when seem KJ leaves their car engine running spewing out all their carcinogens, oh & bus drivers in Pond Street & such, when they are supposed to kill the engine.

Super Hans Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 He should go to Bramall Lane, stewards are spineless and people smoke all over. I do think it's harsh to take his season ticket off him, he didn't do a lot wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
