Vaping at work may be banned...

Ok Update time on this issue.

It has been nearly 2 weeks and I have heard not another word from Management or from HR. So I quietly and continually vape at my desk. No one says anything.

recent research by learned forum members posted elsewhere on the forum, lends evidence at least some nicotine is exhaled. This puts you (and your employer) in OSHA violation territory. I would offer that now is not the best employment environment to be unemployed, and, ineligible for unemployment.

You might want to consider Snus. They are very discrete.

Well it would appear that no matter how low profile i tried to keep my vaping at work, word has gotten around that I have been doing it. I was just informed by my boss thatI should keep it low profile till HR can clarify their position on E-Cigs. Currently there is no policy in place so I am technically not doing anything wrong... Now I know I can still stealth vape and go to the bathroom to vape but still it won't help if my company won't even back my quitting smoking and being more productive (as I don't take breaks anymore). Is there room for a prejudice suit here if I get hit with the ole' you can't smoke here?

I am doing construction at a Federal Nuke site, every monday we have a site wide safety meeting in the lunch room, this next monday i will be puffing on my e-cig and we will see what they have to say about it. I will fight tooth and nail for my right to do so, as i have used it i
at lunch and no one has complained that sits around me !

I vape in the bathroom at work, nobody thinks anything about it. I don't advertise it though. Experience warrants you check out the freshness quality of the air first, lol. rsmith76
