E-Cigarettes in Public Have you used e-cigarettes in no-smoking areas? How did those around you react? Is it the perfect way around the smoking ban?

Default Has anyone put together a pamphlet for your coworkers?

Eventually I'm going to have to come out of the closet at work. Sooner or later someone's going to see me vaping and there will be questions about it.

I'm wondering if there's a pamphlet or some kind of flyer out there that I can hand to people to let them know that there are no toxic chemicals in what I'm doing; that it's safe for people around me; that it won't cause any problems for my computer or peripheral equipment.

Has anyone heard of anything like this or have they made one up themselves?

Thanks!

Thank you, M&M! I'll have some of these statistics ready in case I get any grief at work. I think if I can prove that my vaping is harmful to no one (especially since I don't share my own office with anyone), it'll be easier to mainstream it at work.

Thanks!

Wow, those are VERY informative! I wish I could print several to show to friends who are still stuck with their analogs ^_^

I've seriously considered printing business cards that quickly explain what a PV is and isn't. The idea being that if confronted I can give up a card instead of reciting the mantra for the umpteenth time.

But, I have found that simply handing the device to them and saying "it's not real" works great. Most ooh and ahh at how clever it is. Then I mention that the "smoke" is really just a vapor and isn't related to second hand smoke except by sight.

By then most notice that I don't smell like an ashtray and we are on the way to someone who may not openly support us, but doesn't oppose us either.

But, I also try hard not to vape in designated no-smoking areas without getting specific permission from someone in authority. Saves hassles down the road.

I just noticed that Jeff, the creator of The Chuck has the following blurb on the back of his business cards:

What is it? Personal Vaporizers AKA 'Electronic Cigarettes', are devices designed to simulate the action of smoking and deliver nicotine (optional) without the harmful side-effects of smoking.
Is it safe? No smoke, tobacco or combustion is involved in its operation thus eliminating second hand smoke, cancer causing carcinogens, and over 4,000 harmful chemicals that are found in traditional cigarettes. The exhaled "smoke" is nearly 100% water vapor dissipating within seconds, leaving virtually no smell or residues behind. Studies conducted have shown this to be a much safer alternative to smoking tobacco products.
Is it allowed? This device does not contain tobacco and is not governed by anti-smoking laws (as ruled by the FDA). They are legal to use in any public place. For more information go to: www.e-cigarette-forum.com.
