I work in a well know pizza place answering phones and working the counter. I can vape all day everyday. So nice to pop out of customer and take a quick toot on my 510. No more hanging out in the back and getting ...... because I have to put my analog out every time I light it because someone calls.

The city of St. Louis, MO passed a smoking ban effective Jan. 2 this year. This went into effect everywhere EXCEPT on the actual gaming floor where I deal at. This has been horrific for the analog smokers, because we lost our smoking break room in the back of the house. We've been forced to sit in an enclosed, poorly ventilated, bus stop shelter. However, smoking e-cigs has been ok'd by corporate to smoke in both the front and back of the house! I just got my 510 today, and cannot WAIT to sit in the warm break rooms, pleasantly puffing away on my 510....I have 3 days off, so I'm riddled with excitement!
I work in mental health/ brain injury rehab. I can vape at my desk all day. Trying to convert some of my clients over to it as a healthier alternative. We are talking about putting a segment in the "health" section of our monthly newsletter on ECigs, I am going to be demonstrating it to clients and promoting it. 
I stealth smoked in my company car, sprayed Febreeze every night, and only smoked with the window cracked and the fan on high. I never got caught, but was just lucky.
I took early retirement about a month before I started vaping. It would have been nice to vape some Malty Toffee freely and have the car smell nice without having to spray chemicals in the car to cover the smoke smell.

Yes I am allowed to vape at my desk at work all day long Love it too... no more going outside to freeze my @$$ off to smoke, I have turned 7 people so far to vaping.
Love it too... no more going outside to freeze my @$$ off to smoke, I have turned 7 people so far to vaping.I've been doing it at work. I work for a major rental car company in downtown. Asked my coworkers could notice or smell the vapor and they replied that it was very faint, but smelled nicely. My manager told me just not to do it while customers were present.
wow, same here, office area at a large engineering firm lol
idk if im actually allowed, my manager knows i do, but facility manager adn them don't. i have a small fan at my desk that dissipates vapor very quickly
The vapor dissipates very quickly already, no? Anyway, I know of friends who tell me the same story as you, Caddyman (minus the fan)
One thing I'm sure of: I'll never be able to vape at work. I work in a cubicle farm for a huge company... and, according to the people with lots more seniority than I have , our entire human resources department hasn't had an original idea since 1967 or thereabouts.
The FDA could come out and say, "We now consider E-cigs an essential food group" and it wouldn't motivate our HR to change anything.

I work for a small law firm. About two years ago they began asking applicants if they were smokers. They would never come out and tell folks that they won't hire smokers, but it was obvious that it was an interview killer. Pretty soon, I was the only one who smoked (at least during office hours). I started vaping recently and asked the firm manager if I could vape at my desk. He was cool with it. I don't walk around the firm advertising, and I am pretty stealthy about it, but I'm waiting for the first paralegal to see me and scream that it bothers her in some way. There will always be those who just don't get it.
It's allowed and everyone is quite intrigued. LOL. I've even brought a few extra's to share fellow smokers to see what they thought. I work in health care, and several of our clients are even converting.
I work at a large chemical laboratory and have been vaping at my desk for the past three weeks. The PhD I report to knows it and is fine with it; but as far as I know there is no company policy on ecigs.
I work in an office, cubicles, lots of yuppie types, everyone far too involved in what others are doing.
I decided let everyone know what it was I was doing, but go outside to the smoking area to vape. Because I know for certain that if I vaped at my desk.... someone would go to HR and there would be a big meeting, and then an official policy to not allow vaping at work where currently there is no policy at all as I dont think they even know what it is.
The office is filled with busybodies, everyone into thier own personal rights.
This tactic is working for me, as my co workers ( who are very anti-smoking ) are starting to question why I need to go outside, in fact my management is starting to question it. They are all so pleased that I have stopped smoking, and interested in what it is I am doing, that when this gets to HR, it will be from a support standpoint, rather than a complaint standpoint.
Different places are different of course... but this tactic is starting to work for me... at least for now.

I work for a large engineering firm and I have an enclosed office. My boss who smokes says I can vape in my office. I do but I am careful to conceal it from anyone. Not sure if I would get in trouble. Please read my company's definition of smoking and tell me what you think?

No "burning" in vaping, I would not sweat it.
I vape openly at the company I work in, in my office and at staff meetings.

I don't work in an office. I am a public school teacher. I teach band to 6th grade students. It's a little ironic that all these years i've been teaching kids to breathe in order to play, and yet as soon as I get a break I'm off to my car to destroy my own ability to breathe. Well, no more. I can now stay in my classroom during my off period and vape away. Do my bosses know? No way. If they knew then they could forbid it. And of course I never would consider vaping in front of students. I'm more productive now, I don't stink, and i'm not a hypocrite.
