I'm curios to how many others go out and vape with smokers. I smoked for almost 20 years and really enjoyed the social aspect of smoking. Since I put down the analogs and started vaping a couple months ago; I still go outside with the smoking crew for the social aspect. I've noticed that vaping while getting all of the second hand smoke does detract from my vaping experience. I have trouble getting the good flavor that I've quickly become accustomed too with vaping because of the second hand smoke. Do you still take smoke breaks with the smoking crew or did you leave that behind when you switched to vaping?
Do you vape with smokers?

I occasionally do, but the stench turns my stomach and I can't take it. I go to set an example and show them the advantages of vaping and we're friends and coworkers.
I avoid smoking areas, smoke stinks and if it gets on me or my clothing my wife thinks I've been smoking again and I'll hear about it. Secondly, I'm not a very social person anyway. I work closely with others and just want a bit of quiet when it comes to break time or lunch break. I go sit in my car, vape, and veg a bit.
Yes I do and have no problem with it. Been vaping for over 2.5 years and the smell of a burning ciggie is still good for me. However, after they put out that ciggie, the stench they carry can make me gag!
I still go to the employee smoking room when I vape. Sit in a chair, read and listen to music. Do find that more people are turning to vape since I started to at work.
Just about everyone I work with uses some kind of tobacco product, which made it stupid hard to quite smoking before the first B&M opened up in town. My problem was I fell in love with ciggies when I first tried them. but since the higher ups at my job banned on the job vaping because too many customers thought we were smoking an illegal product. So I am confined to smoking with the other guys outside, not too big of a deal though, my nic cravings are a lot more milder since I dropped the analogs.
When I am out with friends and have the option to vape inside I go out when they go out to smoke their cigs, as long as the weather is not terrible. I do still enjoy that social part of it, but the smell of the analogs does bother me most of the time. LOL! Most places around here have banned ecigs inside so i really don't have a choice most times anyway.
Most of my friends still smoke and I do go out with them. It doesn't bother me though since the smell is so awful, reminds me why I quit. It actually makes me happy to be able to VAPE while others are smoking because I know I don't NEED to smoke anymore.
I should clarify......I never have the urge to smoke an analog anymore, even when with other smokers, but the smell bothers me as in it STINKS terribly to me now!
I don't really see the need, as I am still too close to quitting, and the smell sometimes attracts, and mostly repels. I will step outside occasionally just to get the feel. But my smoking buddies haven't really seen me in a month (I stay at home).
Nope! I sit in my office and vape all day! It's great that my boss is a former smoker turned vaper (thanks to me!) and that my chief thinks it's great that we aren't smoking in our work cars, or leaving butts all over the ground. He could really care less!
I do it all the time. No need to look down on smokers. When I do, it usually ends with me explaining my set-up to them and have actually converted a few smokers into vapers.... As long as you're not tempted, I say go for it... You might actually do someone in the world a little good.

I discovered vaping after I retired, so the work time break areas were something I didn't have to use anymore. I could have introduced many to vaping had I started while I was still working. My job took me to office buildings all over the area and I knew people in all the smoking areas.
It's no wonder that companies have sent all the smokers outside. 80% or more of the public are non-smokers and don't want to smell it when they enter your office environment. I can remember a time when the only place that smoking was off limits was movie theaters, computer rooms or anywhere that flammable gases were in use. You could smoke in hospitals, restaurants, and office buildings all over. People smoked at their desks, in the halls, and at lunch.
Times have changed and it's for the better. Vaping is now considered acceptable most places, but I look for more restrictions as more people switch.

I can't stand the smell but I vape with my smoke buddies anyway. I have determined to make a concentrated effort not to be "one of those" types of ex smokers if you know what I mean.
I go out and vape while my colleagues smoke..no biggie, in fact one reason I actually started smoking was to get a break. If you didn't smoke, you didn't get a break! Restaurant life!

Sure do You know, cigarette smokers are people too . I just stand up wind, because I don't want the smell to stick to me.
