I am Operations Manager for the local transit authority, in line to become GM when the current GM retires in 2 years. He is a real "hater" anti-smoker, and has taken it to the personal level with me (in my view verging on harassment), especially since I only used to smoke about 2 analogs a day, outside and away from everyone at work. If I sprain my ankle, he blames it on some negative side effect of smoking. Has threatened to not recommend me for Manager if I don't quit, etc.
Last week I switched to e-cigs and completely quit smoking the same day. Won't touch another analog, and I couldn't be happier about the choice. I haven't told the GM, just for spite. I stealth-vape in my office quite a bit, and he never knows it - can't smell it or anything obviously. If he did, I am sure he would act disgusted, pretend like the smell is bothering him and not allow it. If he ever notices that I don't seem to smoke outside any more and asks, I will just tell him, "No, I haven't quit smoking, why do you ask?" And continue to stealth vape all I want :-)

Software consultant - generally I don't ask permission but one of my law enforcement customers saw me outside with it and told me I didn't have to be outside to use it. So I vaped away at my desk and got a ton of "where can I get one" and the obligatory "is that safe for by-standards?" questions. Other than that no problems at all. Education is the key.

I'm a logger and still trying to decide the best pv for my work environment. I'm seasonally laid off right now and adjusting to vaping with my first pv--a joye510. I'm very satisfied with it for the time being, but I don't think it'll quite fill the bill when I go back to work. I'm doing my homework trying to decide on a pv with longer battery life and some degree of durability.
Considering the ego, Chuck and Chameleon. We'll see what happens.

I am also self-employed, but my upholstery shop (in my house!) must be smoke free for the sake of non-smoking clients, and the commercial clients (Hospital and clinics) demand smoke free. My PV is stealth!
I once had to re-pay a lady $75 to deodorize her living room chair, because it smelled of smoke. She was very nice about it because she had been a smoker, but I gladly paid it. She could have in all fairness demanded a re-do.
I learned my lesson the hard way.

I'm a sys admin in a law firm.. I sit behind a locked door most the day and they have no clue what I do in there all day... I'll leave it at that. 
It's when they know what I'm not doing things become a problem.

If memory serves me, there's only 1 casino in Tampa. I used to be a frequent guest in the poker room. Is smoking still acceptable? Hmm, If I were to vape at the table, I might just distract a few and win some extra pots. More $$$ for V4L!!!
Yep, currently only 1 casino here, though the state is thinking of 'opening' Florida up since they can't agree on our compact. I don't actually know if smoking is allowed in our poker room, I'd have to ask. I've walked past it a million times, but I've never paid attention, lol.
I'm the Blackjack lady!!

Sometimes I work in a restaurant. They would never allow me to vape there if they knew.
I vape in the walk-in cooler. When you are in there you can see your breath, so if caught, anyone would assume it was that. It's actually really convenient, as it is located where I would be anyways if I had nothing to do. A busser caught me once on a really big exhale, thought I was smoking w**d, but he was in there to steal a beer, so we left each other silently. It was pretty funny.
