Vaping At Work

I work outside so I can vape at work, but I don't. I like to vape at night after I get home from work and the gym.
I'm contracting in a government building, but vaping was pioneered by a couple of long-term feds so everyone was ok. (They asked what it was, since those two use the awful cigalikes, but they were familiar with the idea and it was ... ignored at least, if not directly condoned.)
Converted a coworker, and he chain-vapes in a shared double-cube all day. The other guy has asthma but didn't even blink, he was familiar with the PG and knows it doesn't do him any harm.. (I did have to remind the coworker that vaping in an elevator is the quickest way to a building-wide ban..
)

That's funny right there.
I will never feel victimized again.
Oh yah. No nicotine intake of any kinda. No cigarettes, no chewing tobacco, no e-cigarettes. Not only do you have to go outside, you have to go out to the sidewalk, not even just the drive way. Supposed to apply to everyone, but there is no force of law involved. However, being an employee of the state, I have to put up with it.
Plenty of issues.
I live in Utah and I'm currently working a seasonal job at a ski resort. When I work indoors, I am not allowed to vape inside, or around where customers can see..which I totally understand. Although, I do live in Utah. Utah passed a new section of our Clean Air Act, where people can no longer "vape" indoors unless told other wise of is an e-cigarette retailer.
I also work at a bank, there I am not allowed to vape indoors. There are a handful of us who do vape, we just have to go out for "Smoke Breaks".
Everywhere else, you just get a warning. Do it again, they give you a ticket. Do it again, they can either take it, or take you in.
Gotta love this state....

I work for USPS, which is a federal workplace. My friend and I vape a lot in our office; so far no problems. But if someone ever complains, they will probably make us quit.
If my supervisor starts to hassle me, I will mention the increased productivity because I am no longer in the smoke pit.

Only a few people here know about me vaping at my desk and the bathroom. 
They have never been able to smell anything and I have asked them. I also work at a University so I'm not going to bring it out in the open unless I know it is ok. For now I love working and listening to classic rock and roll and stealing a puff or four as I do so.

I vape at my desk but I'm very discreet about it. Thank goodness for 18350 batteries
I work for the state of Ohio. I vape outside with the guys in the summer. I work in a cubicle and vape all day without most knowing. I keep a fan on all day to help with the vapor. My boss knows but said she will be tight lipped. As far as I know, I'm the only vapor at my work place. If someone saw me im sure that I would have to stop.
I Vape freely at work; I own the business and the employees are pleased that it doesn't smell like smoke any longer
I vape in my office and so far hasnt been no complain well one guy said to me that my vapor smell like pancakes and he was getting hungry.
I work in an open-floorplan office, so I'll usually go outside into the hallway, or even downstairs for a vape break. Occasionally I'll steal a stealth vape at my desk, though. So far no comments, but I already clued a couple of my coworkers in to what I'm doing and everyone is pretty cool. Now that I no longer smoke analogs, I really hate getting up to go out for a 'fix' 
I use the "everything's allowed until I'm told otherwise" rule. So far, so good. I work in an open retail environment, and as long as there's no customers around, I'm puffing away. It might help that everyone loves me, but still, no one's told me to stop.

They amended the tobacco policy where I work to include e-cigs because someone did something really stupid. Stealth is your friend...
Yah. I just about smacked the guy who used it in a crowded elevator.. fortunately nobody noticed, but..
Wait...you can't drop a line like that on us and wander off. What did they do?
I am allowed to vape at work. Having said that, I did approach my boss first with a "lecture" on the e-cigs and did get his approval. My co-workers do not mind, although there was this one juice a while back they did not like (can't remember anymore what it was) and they did ask me not to use it.
I work mainly out of my truck. We are not allowed to smoke in our trucks, but I vape all day. My boss knows I'm vaping and I've given her some disposables to pass out to her friends. She's totally cool with it.
I don't vape in the office, but I do vape in the bathroom a fair amount.

I work in the corporate office of a national bank... A cube farm. I'm lucky enough to have pretty laid back managers and co workers in my dept. I simply explained to them what it was and to let me know if it bothered them and so far they are cool with me vaping at my desk.
I work for a contractor to the Federal Government on the civilian side, and am a Reservist as well. On the civilian side, I am able to vape all day long. Based on who is in attendance, I puff away at meetings, briefings, and especially mandatory training sessions. Everyone within our company is cool with it, and it never causes a problem. It actually sometimes adds some levity to the meeting if someone goes half-cocked and says something really stupid and I feel the need to take a nice 6-second drag to keep from saying something myself! LOL!
On the Army side of it, my relationship with my Cdr and direct supervisor is really good. Once again, gauging who is in the room or building is a first. If a high-ranking officer or official is around, it's easier to just go into my office until I know whether they are closed minded to the idea, or if they actually vape themselves. Of course, rank does indeed hold some privilege, so the person that decides to complain would have to have their ducks in a row first.
So far the way that I have been accepted has been pretty good. And I have yet to meet someone who doesn't admire another person for not smelling like smoke!
