How friendly is your place of work to vaping?

[adbelt]

I work in retail and I was surprised how cool my store management is toward vaping. Out of the 60ish employees in my store, about a third smoke. Of that third about ten have switched to vaping since the start of the year. Our GM is a non smoker but he allows vaping in any back area, basically anywhere except the sales floor. When the first two employees started vaping, I was one of the two, we sat down with the GM and explained to him what a PV was. He thought it was great. He cleared his store policy with district staff and it's moving across our market now. Its nice when your company supports your move to be healthier.

my store has no issue with it, but im the only one there that vapes, no smokers and the gm is a long term friend of mine and she used ecigs to quit smoking then quit those. but im always discrete and will only vape in the back room. not to mention im one of the managers and only 1 manager works per shift so there is no real authority above me to say otherwise.

I am the only/ was the only smoker at my place, and they are cool with it. I'm not in the office much, as I'm a field service tech, and we don't usually have customers in our office, so its cool. If there were customers, I wouldn't vape by them, but otherwise its all coool.

I am allowed to vape as much and whenever I want. I work from home.

Operating under the "don't ask don't tell" model at work - I'm in a private office.

I am a nurse and I work in a hospital. I don't vape around patients, but I do in the charting room (where patients and family don't go). No one seems to care.

I can vape at work but only in certain areas. I work for my family so it was a bit easier to get past "management". Since we have customers that come in the front office my father asked that I vape out in the shop area. I am OK with that. I used to have to go outside to smoke so being allowed to vape in the building is a plus as far as I am concerned.

yeah my biggest concern is customer reaction affecting the store, i work for tea company. so we are technically considered a food item as tea falls under the category of needing permits and food management certs. i could totally see a customer freak out and cause a ruckus. so i just always look for things that need to refilled and get them from the back. of course it usually takes a little longer but it keeps everyone around me alive.

I vape at work, and I am around other employees, and no one has ever minded. And...some have even said it smelled good.

My job is very much dependant on customer perception. We have customers that have been with us for over 20 years so my dad didn't want a bad image with them. After working here the last 21 years I totally understand. Customers are hard to get and harder to keep these days. If I am sent to the shop to vape to maintain our business then so be it. And since I converted three other people at work to vaping I have a place to hang out, vape and chit chat.

I'm not allowed to Vape at work except in the designated smoking sections out doors. So I have to hang out with all the smokers. To top it off, they consider Vaping the same as smoking on the insurance, so even though i stopped smoking cigerattes, i still pay the smokers premiums!

My boss is cool with it, but I still only do it when alone. No reason to push my luck. Since I work for the government (sort of), if a call for decision went out, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't go in my favor. For the most part, I step out for short breaks.

 

[Perpetualsharon]

We have a no tobacco policy anywhere on the property(which by my observation isnt very strictly adhered to) at my place of employment, however they allow us to vape just about everywhere. Being a new employee, I didn't want to push my luck with analogs and switched to vaping. It's nice not going outside in the heat/cold to smoke and worry about the smoke police catching you.

I work in retail as a vendor so I'm store to store daily. I vape in the back rooms and sometimes a little on the floor but do ot stealth like and really try not to get anyone or myself into trouble.
Most of the time i go outside with the smokers as to keep my routines the same.

Here in our office, management is cool with me vaping at my station. I can vape all day long. Some of my friends even tell me that they smell the e-juice and they like it. (I use strawberry daiquiri, dark chocolate or currant).

 

[young gotti]

can't vape at my desk, they think the vapor will set off the fire sprinklers....but they let us go outside and vape...the smokers have to walk off the property

 

[alffalvo]

I can vape at work my boss also vapes so it works out good

The business manager at my rural health clinic is a discreet vaper so even though he is at the front desk interacting with both patients and employees, he vapes all day and no one seems to notice and certainly no one has voiced opposition. His vape flavors smell so good that since he began vaping several months ago, EVERY employee (all distantly ex-smokers & never-smokers) now has a mod at work and at any given moment there is a space in the clinic that smells like a potpourri breeze has blown through. We go to him for advice about all things VAPE and it cracks him up now I just hope this new hobby doesn't turn out to be unhealthy!

I have been vaping at work and haven't heard any complaints yet. We have been pressured to quit smoking so....

 

[OR-DMBFAN]

How could a company possibly consider vaping the same as smoking cigarettes? Good grief....
