I would vote for vaping sections with proper ventilation, which all businesses should have in place anyway, but few do.
I think when the research shows that vapers aren't the same as smokers, that may happen.
For now, I can tell you that most large businesses, and their insurance companies, have decades of data showing just how much $$$ smokers have cost them in sick days, loss of production, etc. Actuaries have this information esp. in companies where they were paying most of your insurance premiums and sick days, etc. I imagine they are NOT feeling real generous toward smokers or ex smokers who are vaping at this point.
I mean, it's always about the bottom line, isn't it?
This is why many companies won't hire smokers. Smokers cost them money.
I guess they will start in on the other "groups" soon too. I remember when my insurance premiums went up almost double, and I went to Human Resources, and they told me that a larger percentage of the workforce in my company had babies that year, and then my boss had a major heart attack, heart transplant, etc. ..........and so I had to pay for that, too.
Keep in mind, these things, when you complain incessantly about "other people" though.
I had no problem paying increased premiums because I did not want to work in a company of only people past child bearing years and nobody had health problems, as that would require me to work with robots, not humans.
Unfortunately, in today's "I got mine, who cares if you get yours" environment, I'm sure there would be plenty of people who would not want to pay large health insurance premiums for other coworkers' choices, right?
I guess I simply do not understand why some people don't seem to realize that we ALL impact EACH OTHER. It requires some give and take, all around. I'm willing to give some. Always have been. It seems selfish not to.
