Need some info for mgmt so I can vape at work

[jdkean1]

I am looking for some positive information, posted by professional organizations or companies that tells people about vaping and the health benefits and that it is not harmful to people around you. I have been quietly vaping at my desk at work for over a month now, and apparently somebody noticed and said something. They asked me to refrain until they run it up the flag pole and make an official policy on it one way or the other. Apparently some guys came from corporate last week and were vaping like crazy in the office and now they need an official policy about it. Anyways, since people don't understand what it is or why we do it, they asked me to forward some links with information about vaping to them so they can have a meeting and make a decision about where or if it will be okay to vape in the office.

So can anybody get me some links to some good honest informational sites that won't paint a bad picture of vaping so I can forward them to management. I know they also mentioned that other people here in the office wanted to know what it is since they would like to quit analogs, and I bet management would love to be able to have people vape and not have to take smoke breaks.

Any help is sincerely appreciated. I hope they will give me the okay to vape at my desk and I can stop hiding in the server room or in the bathroom. I feel like I am sneaking around like I was in high school with the analogs.

I would love to have a copy of that. Last year CNN ran a ecig story, and once our boss caught wind of it he outlawed ecigs in the building. Bummer.

Good read, thanks for that link. One paragraph that is very good to read:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]October 2008: In a study funded by Ruyan, Health New Zealand conducts a detailed quantitative analysis and concludes that carcinogens and toxicants are present only below harmful levels. On the basis of the findings, the e-cigarette is rated several orders of magnitude (100 to 1000 times) less dangerous than smoking tobacco cigarettes. The nicotine dose is comparable to that of a medicinal nicotine inhaler. Overall, the product tested was deemed a "safe alternative to smoking." The Ruyan® (nicotine) E-Cigarette[/FONT]

one other fact that might come in handy, google attorney-general, virginia, electonic cigarettes - he just recently ruled that ecigs do not fall under the smoking ban so they are legal where smoking is banned. good luck
