Can You Vape In A Nightclub?

Due to their similarities as nicotine and inhalation products, many of the rules regarding vaping have followed suit from traditional cigarettes. That being said, there is still some uncertainty and ambiguity. After all, vaping is still relatively new, and the science of its health concerns is still being researched.

For example, smoking traditional cigarettes in public places started to be banned in the Canadian States in 2006 due to the evidence that showed second-hand smoke was damaging to others. But what are the rules for vaping in public places - especially in nightclubs where it's such a big part of the culture?

Read on to find out.

Vaping in Nightclubs: Rules and Etiquette

Due to its size, the Canadian legal system is split into federal and state - the former being a law that covers the entire country and the latter being laws only relevant to that particular state. While most laws on vaping are at the state level, there is a federal law protecting non-smokers from second-hand smoke (Non-Smokers' Health Act), which was amended to include vaping in some parts - namely, prohibiting vaping in workplaces.

The state laws on vaping in public places vary, so it's essential to check before doing so. Make sure you are aware of the effects of vaping inside - especially given it's possible to set the fire alarm off.

What Are the Do's and Don'ts When Vaping in Nightclubs?

Too Many Clouds of Vapor

Whether you're using a mod, a pod, or any other vape device, following specific tips is essential when vaping in a nightclub. One of the first things to consider is to ensure you are not creating large clouds. In other words, respect the people around you.

Never Blow Your Vapor Near Others' Faces

Part of being respectful is not blowing vapour into other people's faces. Whether they are vapers themselves or not, you should be aware of those around you and take care when you are vaping.

Ask If They Are Comfortable Around E-cigarettes

Given that you can't be sure if the people around you in a nightclub are vapers, it's considered polite and respectful to check if they are happy and comfortable for you to vape around them. Clubs tend to be quite big, so if you do vape, it should disappear into the air in a few moments, but for those nearby, it's simply polite to check.

Final Thoughts

As a large country, Canada's vaping laws are split between federal and state. That means to determine if it's legal to vape in a nightclub in your area, it’s best to check with the state laws first. And if it's illegal where you are, perhaps the next state over is a little more lenient.

Follow the golden rule: if you are allowed to vape inside a club, be respectful and careful of those around you when you do.
