Vapers yes. But some still say we are smokers. It wasnt until today I was in "close quarters" with a smoker, 20 a day person and realised just how off putting the smell of a smoker really can be for a non smoker. Do us "vapors" give of that arfull smell to non smokers too I wonder ?. Been on me e cig now for 7 weeks and not even thought about buying a packet of fags.

WE don't smell. A particularly sensitive nosed non-smoker might notice something but compared to fag smells we're very fragrant.

What about someone who uses patches or gum for the nicotine?

Or if its just nicotine that defines a smoker how about someone who eats vegetables? Some also contain nicotine.

Its smoking that defines a smoker. As the liquid in e-cigs is water mixed with flavourings and nicotine we're not really smoking. Just steaming slightly.

There is no smoke from an ecig, so how the hell can you still be a smoker? And the nicotine suggestion is ridiculous - is someone who chews nicotine gum a smoker by that definition? Or someone who wears nicotine patches? It was always the tar in fags that smelled, and made things that attractive yellow, not the nicotine.

No, just a nicotine addict!! You can be a non-smoking nicotine addict now, but I would say you are on a knife edge until you are off nicotine.

My friend vapes after giving up cigarettes about six months ago, but there is no trace of smell or taste.

Good choice of words there, Tomatoes and Potatoes are both high in nicotine, so you can by your definition be a smoker having never come across tobacco.

A non smoker that uses a vapour thing on a night out is a non smoker.

A smoker that uses one (or anything else) because they nee a nicotine fix is still a smoker.

I would prefer to know they vape when discussing a meet but I might meet a vaper whereas I won't meet smokers.

It doesn't matter to me whether a vaper classes themselves as a smoker or non-smoker on here as long as it's clarified in their profile or they tell me up front.

Nicotine is not vital.

We can dance around semantics all day long. The bottom line is that until you are no longer addicted to nicotine, you are a smoker.

Smoking by definition requires there be smoke. That's hardly semantics.

Someone who chews tobacco or uses patches or gum is not a smoker.

I wouldn't want to meet anyone who chewed tobacco or nicotine gum though.

You might wanna read up a little on the word semantics. Yes if you want to be a pedantic fucktard you can argue till the cows come home if a smoker has to physically smoke a cigarette to be called a 'smoker'. That seems a pointless, petty argument. My opinion is that while you are addicted to nicotine, you are a smoker by the widely understood terminology that a smoker is a person addicted to cigarettes.

If you want to argue that Guy Fawkes was a non smoking smoker, then fill ya boots.

Hey play nice now! To be pedantic they still have the nicotine addiction caused by smoking and are in imminent danger therefore of relapse until they are off it completely for more than six weeks, I agree with you there, but for the purposes of meeting non-smokers for sex - they are also non-smelling non-smokers!"
why is everyone assuming those that use vapers are still addicted to nicotine? Many of the refile are nicotine free its the habit of putting things in your mouth they can't break

I did say earlier if you are a non smoker using one then you're still a non smoker. Therefore if you are an ex smoker using a non nicotine one you'd still be an ex smoker - same I guess if you're an ex smoker that has a cigar on new years eve. Point is that if you're still addicted, you're still a smoker - a point I think most are intelligent enough to understand my meaning of, but it's more fun to pick a fight.

Picking a fight? It's you throwing words like "fucktard" about.

I think your assertion that having a nicotine addiction means you are a smoker, even if you chew tobacco and have never smoked a cigarette is ridiculously stupid. I've no desire to fight about it because you won't convince me otherwise.

Perhaps you'd say a caffeine addict is a coffee drinker too, even if they only drink tea or cola.

There are other sources of nicotine than cigarettes.

Smoking cigarettes is what makes one a smoker. Not chewing tobacco or gum, not drinking coffee and not dancing around Stonehenge at sunrise.

I'm sure some "fucktards" disagree though.

Surely by its absolute definition a smoker is someone who inhaled smoke or some kind of vapour.

Saying someone who chews nicotine gum is a smoker is like saying my mother is a Formula 1 racing driver because she drives a car (badly).

Chewing nicotine gum, wearing a patch, or chewing tobacco is a nicotine habit most certainly not smoking.

Arguing and calling people names is utterly laughable because you're the one who's wrong!

According to many dictionaries and medical journals- smoking is by defintion the inhalation of smoke. Therefore, if you no longer smoke and use nicotine patches (for example) you are a, according to our National Health Service, a none smoker.

I don't think the oiginal question was posted out of interest in dictionary definitions of smoking, but rather to determine whether or not people would consider somebody using fake cigarettes as a smoker.

To which my answer - again - is that for so long as somebody remains addicted to nicotine, yes I would consider them a smoker.

If they inhale the vapour from an e-cig or vaporizer then yes, they're still a smoker....correct, even if it doesn't contain nicotine (and they do it regularly).

You other statements regarding gum, patches or any other nicotine replacement therapy is both ludicrous and wildly inaccurate.

Your overly aggressive attitude is borderline offensive.

For us personally....if we saw someone on an e-cig prior to a meet we would cancel. Also there is a certain smoking associated smell. Just our preference. ALSO how stupid are people who pretend to be non-smokers. We have stopped 3 meets now, after meeting...and they have the cheek to get arsey.

This is where it's more complex. As I said previously until you break the addiction I think you're a smoker, but there must be both addicts and non-addicts using vaporisers so regardless of what people think you can't tell anyway.

Out of interest why do you keep on using them? I tried one years ago but didn't like it but that was when they were a new thing.

He never asked for the definition of the word. Opinions on words are debated constantly, it's why we have more than one dictionary.

Well agreed technically your not smoking but did you know that cum and spunks taste is affected by the bitter taste of nicotine. Your body concentrates it into a rather foul tasting broth so if you were to ask me, I'd say, well it's good your clothes and skin don't stink any more but don't expect me to clean up afterwards if you vape LOL.

But nicotine is an colourless, odourless, tasteless liquid?

Wow!

I feel like such a hypocrite after reading back through this thread. I exclusively vape now and haven't touched a cigarette since December and consider myself as a non-smoker.

Try sub ohm vaping a high strength e-liquid and then telling someone it's tasteless.
