Poll on vaping in the workplace

[DadTheInhaler]

I'm a web developer and work at home so I vape at my workstation all day and all night. Naked too. :{o

I work in a nursing home as a nurse, I work 7pm to 7am. After 11pm when there are no family members there and all residents are in their rooms, I vape at my desk. Before 11pm I will vape outside with smokers or in the bathroom. After 5 am I go back into stealth mode.

I work for a college and vaping is treated the same as smoking...so I can only smoke when I'm in a designated smoking area outside. Having said that, there is one member of our department who carries her e-cig with her all day and vapes at her desk, which has caused a lot of problems. She refuses to stop doing this despite the fact that the college has implemented an e-cig policy stating we are not allowed to vape on campus. Personally I work partly in college, partly from home and the rest of the time I'm visiting apprentices in their workplaces so I get to smoke or vape when at home or in my car, so I can't complain really.

Although i get the occasional "hey, no smoking inside" joke, No one has issues with it. I was once accused of smoking indoors (early on in my vaping) after the boss smelled smoke, he confronted me and was a little taken aback when i said i have not smoked in over a year.(the culprit admitted to me in confidence afterwards lol)
This is because regardless of being "allowed" to vape, i try to keep it on the D.L. so as not to draw unneeded attention to it. He appologized and told me he had no problem with it as long as fire was not involved. Just recently he saw me vaping and said "wow, no cancer sticks still? very good"

Even though I CAN vape any time any place, I only vape in my office.

I selected other.

I am almost at "I can vape anywhere" but not quite. I would not pull out my PV in the conference room in a meeting, or in my bosses office, or in anyone elses office for that matter, but I vape in my office when I want. I dont blow clouds or anything, but it is known I vape in my office. If I really want to blow clouds around, I go into the server room. Yes, I work in IT.

We are allowed to vape in our break room only. There are a number of us, and we try to be considerate of others by not vaping strong, offensive flavors.

I'm not allowed to Vape in the building. I have to go Vape with the smokers outside. Pisses me off!!!! I even have a boss that says that it stinks. He's the only person who says it stinks. I've asked multiple people, not him, if they can smell anything and every person has said "NO". Why did I quit smoking if I have to go outside with the smokers and smell like smoke anyway????!

FedEx treats Vaping exactly like traditional smoking.

I'm a freight train conductor, so it depends on who I'm working with at the time. Most people don't mind if I vape, but I try to be considerate of others. Some people ask that I open the window on the locomotive and others actually enjoy the smell of whatever I'm vaping. It can be a long ride on the train so its best to keep everyone happy..

I'm self-employed, so I vape when I please, and would allow any employee to do the same.

Vape On

My wife works for a call center and she is treated like a smoke, she has to either go to her car to vape or join the smokers in the smoking section.

She is jealous of me, as I can vape as much as I want, I am a bindery supervisor on 3rd shift, so I am the boss on my shift, but I was the 1st one to start vaping, now over half of the (ex) smokers have taken up vaping even on other shifts, including my boss, so as long as he is walking around vaping, then know I am good

 

[DREDD2970]

I vape at work, but I am careful where, we do have one guy who is a smoker and he gets ...... cause i can " suck on a truck tail pipe" but he cant smoke inside says it isn't fair

Vaping is treated as a tobacco product and must be done 25 feet from the entrance to the building

 

[Zammeh]

I'm the only vaper in my factory. I'm only allowed to vape in the breakroom, but I usually end up outside with my friends. Lately, being winter, I vape indoors but I always make sure my co-workers are fine with me doing it around them (which they are). The only person who has a problem with it is an outspoken, pain in the .... team leader, who thinks she has more authority than the boss.

Stealth vape

 

[amesenbrink]

I could get away with vaping at work in the building, I know several others that do. There was one guy that vaped constantly at his desk, no one ever said a word to him about it as far as I know. I choose not to as a courtesy to those that do not (know what I'm doing, understand vaping, think it's appropriate indoors).

 

[SueandCootie]

No one in charge at the shop knows what vaping is, wouldn't bother listening if I explained, wouldn't understand if I did tell them. Big place tho, lotsa corners out of sight...

 

[K9Luvr]

I vape at work. For all I know it's "allowed" but I never asked. I made sure my office mate was "ok" with it. I try to remember to be discrete and not blow plumes of vapor!

 

[1984 Orwell]

I have no problem vaping anytime at work, in the office. and around the building. I will also vape outside with the smokers, just to promote vaping.
At customer sites (in truck work bays), no problem there, also. I advertise vaping to the people there. Everyone is impressed, and some are very tempted to switch.
