Vaping banned at work today

[Scoper50]

I work at a transit garage and a memo was posted today notifying staff that electronic cigarettes are now banned inside company vehicles and facilities. This all came about supposedly because of inquiries from employees.

So somebody actually asked management if it was ok. My school of thought is that its easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.
i knew this would happen eventually. I've been cutting my nicotine level over the past few months, and soon I'll be at zero. Then I'm walking away from all of it.

The company has every right to do this. I understand that, but i know the decision was made by uninformed people, and that's what pisses me off. How about doing a little research on the topic before creating new rules.

That a bummer man

How will they know if youve vaped in a vehicle, or if you stealth? Its amusing to me when things that are so easy to hide are not allowed specifically

I think that's what frustrates us (well at least me) the most, uniformed people that won't listen to reason making decisions or forming opinions about vaping.

Its never even occurred to me to look at drivers of commercial vehicles to see if they are "smoking" or what appears to be, and report them...Do you know anyone who does that?

 

[Scoper50]

Its not the general public that will report you, its other employees in other company vehicles that will report you

It would never occur to me to condemn something because it LOOKS like smoking, yet here many of us are with problems created by that issue.

Don't find that, but a lot of these seem pretty stealthy

Bottom line... Higher PG, small mod... Go ahead and get out of the company car to vape... Your best bet...

Well that and print out the CASAA stuff and send it into them.

I'm waiting for the same thing to happen in my company. Since I started working there (and vaping) in October, the e-hookahs have come out in droves. It's only a matter of time...

Exactly..............................

If nothing comes out youre not vaping. But I agree it may not be worth the risk.

All kinds of different things can come into play when management makes those kind of decisions. It could be corporate image, uniformity of policies, and on and on.

Long before there were e-cigs, I banned smoking inside my shop not because I had something against cigarettes (I smoked) but because $50K engines make pisspoor ashtrays.

I drove a parts truck for a couple years and you have no idea how many people report drivers. I think people just call to complain about something because their lives are boring or lonely. Being that it is vaping it would be a matter of time before someone called thinking the driver was using illegal drugs.

Well then stealth in the vehicle, if you hold your puff in you blow out nothing.

I see those hot exhaust pipes and i all i can think is to tape a funnel to my mouth and start dripping juice. WOOOOOOHOOOOOO!!

Im gonna get flamed for this but.......some juices do smell. My daughter vapes butterfinger and It doesnt bother me, but it does smell. My tobbaco flavors do not. I was at a vape show recently and someones vape smelled like .... Just sayin.......

If your job doesn't mean much to you or you have no self control do this. Otherwise wait until you get out of the vehicle.
