I was curious to see what some of you do for a living and if you are able to Vape at work. I am a Cook at a local Pub by day and the rest of the time Im a Halloween Mask Maker. vaping at the pub has been kinda fun lately. When Michigan passed the law that Smoking was not allowed namely in Resteraunts it frustrated a lot of people as you all can imagine especially during winter months but over time our customers and regulars got use to the idea of going outside and its not really a big deal anymore. I used to hang out after my shift and drink a few beers and smoke my brains out but those days of smoke filled bars and dirty ashtrays are long gone. I stopped drinking up there because I hated having to go outside every 5 minutes. Now that im vaping its ok, as we are a Vape Friendly establishment so I decided to grab a shift beer the other day and break out my vape case and vape away, right at the bar. It was funny because I was getting so many looks from people doing the "double take" on what I was doing. I could see people whispering to thier friends saying "What the @#$K! Is he smoking?!" "What is that thing?" LOL I just kept vaping away watching the cunfused looks I was getting and then I heard someone say "but I dont smell anything". haha I'm sure after a while they figured out it was an e-cig but the moment was priceless. As for my other profession of being a Mask Maker vaping has helped for a couple reasons; one, that I breathe enough crazy stuff in my studio from latex, paint, solvents and molding plaster that I dont need to be breathing all that other nasty crap in cigarettes anymore. My studio is in my house and my wife HATES cigarette smoke so ofcourse I always had to go outside but again I hated having to stop what I was doing to go upstairs, outside and smoke. Also, when your an independant mask maker a lot of collectors that buy from any of us who make masks are always concerned with whether or not the mask came from a smoke free home and again for that reason you always had to make sure no smoking was anywhere near these masks because believe it or not the pours of latex absorb cigarette smoke very easily. Now with vaping there is no issue and I can happily make monsters down in my haunted dungeon of horrors while I turn myself into a human fog machine lol
