I don't at my desk/cubie because I think it would just seem unprofessional. And I really don't go outside either since I really don't want to be around the smokers. So... I really don't all day long while I'm at work. The only thing I miss was the bit of time I got away from my desk when I'd go outside to smoke. Since I generally work through my lunch, smoking was hilariously, my only activity during the work day.

Why is it unprofessional? If you don't blow out huge clouds I don't see what the problem is.

I usually hold in the vapor until theres nothing left to blow out.. whats the harm?

In fact, most people around me LOVE the smell of the juices I use and think it makes the area around us smell nice :)

I get what you're saying, but there's no smoking in the building, and my cubicle is open... To clients who happen to be in the building. I know it's not smoke, but others associate it with smoke and I don't want to push it.

I could probably do it if I wanted to so let's just call it a personal decision :)

Yea I get that.. I work in a very very corporate environment.. but its just fellow co-workers and not any outside clients.. I wouldn't do it in front of clients either.. but when I'm by myself I say fair game until HR says something lol.

I feel for your plight but I don't have much to offer in help I'm afraid. We have no laws specific to vaping here in Dublin, Ireland just yet but as we were "the first country to introduce fully smoke-free workplaces (March 2004)." as wikipedia confirms, the general response to vaping inside is negative and public transport companies are of course starting to talk about a ban.

I work on the 2nd floor and it sunny outside today I actually like going outside for a vape. Perhaps it's time for a career change or maybe take an evening class in stealth vaping?

I find if I hold in my vape for about 10 seconds, it lets out little to no vapor when I exhale. I would call that stealth vaping! lol
