How friendly is your place of work to vaping?

[Buggs5347]

Sweet! You are so lucky. We aren't as fortunate. I work in an office and we still have to go outside to a smoking area.

I work in retail also. We all gather outside, far away from the entryway for the smoking huddle. Now that I'm vaping, I sneak into a closet and puff a bit here and there when they make me wait forever for my break. Love it!!!!

My company banned all tobacco products including e-cigs on campus at the beginning of the year. In June, they removed the ban but created designated smoking areas. I started vaping in early August and still go out to the smoking area, even though I do take a vape at my desk once in a while.
I have a lot of conversations with coworkers in the smoking area about PV's. Hopefully I can get a few of them to give it a shot

I vape in the office all day, and no one has ever said a word. They were all proud I quit smoking.

It helps to have a boss and assistant who smoke as I do. They're outside I'm outside. I vape in the bldg. if I want to but smoking gives me an excuse to go out and get fresh air and quiet from the noisy plant.

I got no job now, so vaping friendly working enviroment it's not an issue, lol

When i started vaping i was working and had no problem after explaining it to my boss

I work in a family business, and I'm there by myself 75% of the time, so co-workers aren't really a problem. The few times I'm not working alone, no one has a problem with it, though we did agree that it was best to keep it away from where the customers could see. I do try to stick to low-odor flavors, as we sell food and I'd hate to interfere with that even with an agreeable smell. I'm lucky.

I can vape in the office, working nights helps as all the big shots are gone.
My boss at night is OK with me doing it in the office, he smokes cigs, I have not been able to get him to convert yet.

I work in a hospital and have only started vaping a little over a week ago. Last week I was using Volcano cigarette lookalikes...and I used them at my desk (I have a cubicle and am in a non-patient office suite downstairs from our clinical offices), I just held the vapor in and vaped when no one was around. I'm planning on taking my eGo-c to work and vaping the same way, holding it in longer to cause less exhaled vapor, but I think I'll probably go outside or to the ladies' room if I need more than just a quick hit. There are only three full-time smokers and one sometimes smoker, so I might use my time outside (there's no smoking on hospital property, so we go across the road to Subway, where there's an outside ashtray) to educate the other smokers in my office about vaping

you could exhale into a tissue, the vapor should be absorbed.

Oo, thanks, I'll try that!

There is a no smoking ban on the property for the employees. Now they just added in vaping. They consider vaping a tobacco product so I am not allow to vape at work. I go on my lunch break to another parking lot area and vape for an hour.

 

[Guinnesspubcan]

I am a vendor so i vape in my truck all day. When i get back to the office to do paperwork i vape annd the only time anyone complained was when i was vaping some stank turkish tobacco juice. Mainly watermelon these days and everyone is happy.

 

[Stnorder]

I get tired of explaining what it is, though people I work with have made the switch

 

[mikewill45]

Have my own private office so no problem. No one knows.

 

[Figgy]

There's no official policy but I've never seen anyone do it in the building. Not even outside the building for that matter. There's a smoking area outside. If I wanted to vape at work, I'd probably go there or stealth vape in the garage.

Smoking is forbidden in the garage but I think that's mostly due to inconsiderate people smoking near the door to the stairs and leaving butts strewn about. I doubt I'd get flak for vaping there as long as I wasn't near the door.

 

[LongHaul]

There is a open policy of vape em if ya got em in fact it's manditory, but then again I drive a truck and it's just me and my better half who forbids me to smoke in here


Sent from my truck using 3 toasters a broken microwave and 6 rubber bands McGyver style......Chuck Norris aint got crap on me

 

[SissySpike]

I work Commercial and Industrial construction. Most places its not an issue but as I work several hundred feet off the ground I don't have a good place to keep my mod so I mostly just Vape at break and lunch.
I sometimes work in refineries for obvious reasons they have designated smoke pits, I Vape in the company truck Ive never asked I figure better to beg for forgiveness rather than ask for permission. My theory is I have a permit to work in that area I use internal combustion engine equipment. My Mod is less flammable than that so I'm good.

I work in a place that mainly deals with re-manufacturing, but also work with customers in a split off section in front of store. When I was about a week into vaping and decided I was going to stick with it, I just talked to the business owner/manager what it was all about. She was thrilled that I had quit smoking (no more stepping out back and coming back smelling stinky from the cigs). I now have full permission to vape anywhere other than the front of the store where we all help the customers. 2 months - not 1 cig - and I can vape almost anywhere - its so convenient.

I work as a cook and there are very strong exhaust hoods at my station. I have not let management see me vape in the building although they know I vape, they just don't know I to it on the line. I have a front pocket on my chef coat and I just slide my vape up a little and take a puff when it's clear. My coworkers don't care at all
