St Fechin's GAA in Termonfeckin, Co. Louth is the latest club to erect signage forbidding the use of vapes
A growing number of GAA clubs are banning vaping at their grounds, as concerns grow about the use of e-cigarettes.The club already has a no smoking policy in place and is one of a number nationwide which is following a directive from GAA headquarters.
St Fechin's GAA Club has more than 900 members, 400 of whom are juvenile and PRO Michelle Mooney says it is important to send a message that the grounds are a safe place for all, especially children."Smoking has been prohibited since 2017 and there is generally a full compliance rate on that one. Michelle added: "Already, there has been a huge positive reaction to this from adults at the club and I'd say 95% of times, you wouldn't see vaping on the side-lines anyway.
The ban has also been embraced by St Nicholas' GFC club in Drogheda, Co Louth where it applies not only to the players but also to any of the wider community using their club house and facilities.
