      I suppose I should have looked into this /before/ I booked a few days stay. Is there anywhere guests can use an electronic cigarette? I have not smoked cigarettes since 2010, but /do/ vape. Is there /anywhere/ in Lumley castle where vaping is permitted, except for outside in the regular smokers area? Ordinary cigarettes make me feel sick now, and I really don't want my clothes smelling from passive smoking. Vaping is /not/ smoking tobacco, and my liquid has zero nicotine in it. I /really/ don't want to be shoved outside to vape. Is there somewhere sheltered from the cold for vapers to go? My electronic cig is not one of those strong ones that billows out heavy vape clouds. It's very discreet. No smoking policy operates, but nothing is said about vaping. Does anyone know? Are there any vapers out there who have stayed at Lumley Castle? Staff members? Anyone? Please, /no/ nasty answers. I am only enquiring, as may have to rethink my stay at Lumley Castle as I have free cancellation in place. Not really into stealth vaping, or hiding in toilets. I am in my late 40's.
