Second hand smoke through vape.

[SteelReserve]

Just a little rant. Where I work they are not vape friendly and certainly not smoke friendly. They treat the smokers like there infected and the non smokers might catch something. All the smokers have to go outside and in a glass box about the size of a bathroom. As if going outside wasn't good enough. I'm not allowed to vape inside and I have to go in the box. Quarantined with the rest of the dregs. But it's just not enjoyable for me because I haven't smoked an analog in 2 years and the smell gets to me. Not to mention all the second hand smoke floating around. And I think I'm getting second hand because I use a trident rba and I think the smoke just goes through the air holes and into my lungs. Anyways thoughts or comments would be much appreciated.

What would be the size of an indoor restroom?

Isn't there anywhere else at your work outside where you can vape? Find somewhere else to seperate yourselves from the smokers if possible, if you are in a confined area with all that cigarette smoke its possible it could definitely just be going through your airholes with every hit you take of your PV

Sneak in the bathroom and blow the vapor into your jacket or something... small hits without a lot of fog...

And hold a deep lung hit, you won't expel as much vapor!

I got criticized at work, so I stealth vape at my desk. I don't take a "lung" hit, I don't like how it feels. I do take a mouth hit, inhale and hold.....hold....hold.... After about 3 to 5 seconds, I can exhale with no vaper.

No one knows.

Just try to explain to your boss that you quit smoking, and don't want to be in the box with smokers because of the second hand smoke. You don't like second hand smoke any more than they (your bosses) do.

Pull your boss aside and tell him/her that your thinking of taking them to court for making you go out side and exposing you to 2nd hand smoke ????????

Well, a new study has brought to light that second had vapor is as dangerous as...

...air.

Educate your boss on vaping.
Explain that it is even accepted INSIDE hospitals.
Tell him that you quit smoking, and that being crammed inside a smoke fill glass house is hazardous to your health.
Ask him if there are other options...

Their job, their paycheck, their rules....

I'm self-employed and vaping is just one of the benefits. Security, though, is not one of the benefits. Everything has tradeoffs. Good luck.

Drive to work? Vape in the car..

If nothing else.. take a walk around the block while vaping.

If you inhale then I'd call that a lung hit.

 

[ImplicitDeath]

I'm new at my job and I can probably guess that it wouldn't be acceptable for me to vape there, so I take the elevator to the roof and I just chill

 

[p.opus]

If you inhale then I'd call that a lung hit.

A mouth hit that doesn't get inhaled? I'd call that useless (jk)

However From what I understand a lung hit is directly to the lungs and a mouth hit is one that gathers in the mouth then goes to the lungs. I could be wrong though.

lol yes I have to stealth vape at work sometimes myself when I can't get a moment to step out and take some puffs

You gots to get that fixed here is some idea'rs:

get some pina colada vape, they will think they are getting smashed?,,, you can have a party when you work.

find that girl whose perfume smells like mint, then get some vape to match it- hew yeah!

You are correct.

At least, that's the only way I've ever seen it described.

OP - Stealth vape. Doesn't even need to be a thing.

When I first brought my PV to work my manager (a non-smoker) saw it and asked what the heck it was. I told him that I just quit smoking and converted to vaping, he said he was happy I finally saw the light, and after a bunch of questions as to what it was and how it worked, he said that even though the company we work for treats PVs the same as cigarettes that if I chose to vape at my desk he would "have my back" up the chain of command.

I thought that was a pretty darned enlightened stand and offer from him .... but to keep him (and me) out of a possible "difficult" situation I am pretty stelthy whenever vaping indoors at work. Here in Florida the weather is usually pretty nice so I still go to the "smokers area" most times (unless it's raining of course ).

Bathroom works great!
