‘Slapped': Gymoger fumes over man's disgusting act
A woman has taken to social media to vent about a disgusting encounter she had with a man at a gym that left her seething.
Kayla Nicole, who dated NFL star Travis Kelce for around five years before they parted ways in 2022, is known for her health and wellness content and often shares her workouts online.
However, over the weekend, she used Instagram to express her frustration about the 'disrespectful' incident.
Writing on her stories over a photo of herself in workout gear at the gym, the 33-year-old sports journalist didn't mince her words.
''Blowing your blueberry eggs and ham vape smoke in my face in the gym while trying to ask if I'm done with the smith machine will get you slapped,' the fitness enthusiast said.
'The f**k is wrong with y'all?' she added, clearly fuming.
In a follow-up post, she shared a clip of the offending vaping device on the gym floor and wrote, 'I want to step on it'.
She didn't reveal the identity of the gymgoer or the specific gym where this interaction happened.
Commenters shocked by 'low class' act
'I'm surprised one can vape anywhere,' said one commenter online.
'Vaping in a gym is very low class,' another added.
'The gym should have that member scolded the first time and kicked out the second time,' wrote a third.
Vaping is not universally illegal in the US, but it is regulated by local laws.
Many states have comprehensive smoke-free indoor laws that include vapes, prohibiting them in the same locations where smoking is banned.
Australian vaping laws
Vaping is not outright illegal in Australia either, but there are strict regulations in place.
On July 1, 2024, the law changed so that all vapes, regardless of whether they contain nicotine or not, can only be sold in a pharmacy for the purpose of helping people quit smoking or manage nicotine dependence.
It is generally illegal to vape in places where tobacco smoking is banned too, but this can differ by state or territory.
The government's reforms to vaping regulation are based on expert advice that they are a harm to public health.
What are vapes and why are they harmful?
Vapes, also known as e-cigarettes, are battery-operated devices that deliver an aerosol by heating a liquid that users breathe in. They can contain a range of chemicals, flavours, and nicotine.
Even when vapes don't contain nicotine, they're still dangerous, according to the Department of Health.
The various substances in the liquids can include several known cancer-causing agents such as formaldehyde, acetone, and acrolein (commonly found in weedkiller).
Known health risks associated with vaping include irritation of the mouth and airways, persistent coughing, nausea and vomiting, and potential poisoning or seizures from inhaling excessive nicotine or ingesting e-liquid.
Some chemicals in e-cigarette aerosols may also cause DNA damage.
Many scientists are also worried that vaping could heighten the risk of lung disease, heart disease, and cancer.
The effects of vaping on fitness
The irony of the man in Nicole's posts vaping in the gym is that vaping impacts your physical fitness, including your endurance and workout performance.
If you smoke or vape, you receive less oxygen in your heart, lungs, and muscles, which reduces your physical fitness level, as per Cleveland Clinic.
Other side effects on your fitness may include increased rates of injury, less muscular strength, sleep disturbances, and shortness of breath.

Iran could be banned from the 2026 World Cup in USA over bombings
Don't miss out on the headlines from Football. Followed categories will be added to My News. Iran could be spectacularly banned from participating in the 2026 FIFA World Cup amid the threat of war between the Islamic Republic and tournament host nation USA. The national team back in March were the sixth team to qualify for the tournament set to take place in America, Mexico and Canada next year, but the latest air strikes on the country's nuclear facilities have the world watching on with ongoing military tensions continuing to escalate. The situation makes it unlikely Team Melli — Iran's national football team — will be playing games on US soil. Their fourth successive World Cup appearance is now in serious jeopardy. A tournament ban is a genuine possibility given several teams have been barred from international tournaments previously on the basis that warring nations cannot participate. Russia have been indefinitely suspended by FIFA since invading Ukraine while FIFA and UEFA also banned Yugoslavia during 1990s as a result of the Balkans conflict. Even if Iran do participate in next year's tournament, they are most likely to be without supporters as the country remains on President Donald Trump's banned travel list which bars citizens from travelling to America. The decision was made back in March and included severe travel restrictions to over 40 countries including Iran, Afghanistan, the Republic of Congo, Libya, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and others. Exemptions will most likely be granted for the team and associated staff only. There is no associated ban from Mexico and Canada, who will host the other 26 matches of the tournament. Despite already qualifying for the 2026 World Cup in the US, Iran's hopes of participating may be quashed as the threat of war continues to loom between them and the tournaments host nation.

With the schedule already drawn up to decide cities, date and stages, the best case scenario would be for Iran to be drawn into Group A and play all three group stage matches in Mexico. However, any progress to the knockout stages means the side will play at least one match in America, creating a logistic nightmare for organisers. Meanwhile, Iran and Inter Milan striker Milan Mehdi Taremi has found himself stuck in his home country in the capital city of Tehran amid the ongoing war with no way of getting out. Taremi was named by Inter in the 32 man squad for the ongoing FIFA Club World Cup in the US, but is unable to join his side as the conflict continues. The 32-year-old initially flew back to Iran to compete in their qualifiers against Qatar and North Korea and to accept Iran's footballer of the Year award, and planned to leave for Los Angeles straight after but was left stranded.

It was Taremi's two goals in the 2-2 draw against Uzbekistan that sealed his sides World Cup qualification back in March, but the striker has now been left stranded as his club scrambles to find a way out. It is reported that Inter president Giuseppe Marotta has been in contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Italian ambassador to Tehran to find a way out for the Milan striker, but has been unsuccessful. The player himself is said to been in constant contact with teammates, who won their most recent group stage match against Urawa Reds. Neither FIFA president Gianni Infantino nor host nation President Trump have yet commented on Iran's participation in the tournament.
