Vaping Electronic Cigarettes Gets Green Light in Some Offices - NBC News


How about that....I know I have a tendency to vape at the office, and I get no grief about it....

I vape in my cube and the vapor disappears before it reaches the top of the walls. A manager caught me once, looked at me funny and then walked off and said nothing. I am sure they will ban it at some point but I am the only one in the office that vapes.
Enjoy it while you can but.

As long as we're discreet about it, there are three of us in our immediate area, it's all good.

I work in a very corporate environment at a big insurance company (it would take a month to read the employee handbook lol) and my boss could care less.. but I also don't blow out huge clouds into the air.. I zero all my hits

The biggest complaint I've gotten is that I wasn't vaping the vanilla flavor my co-worker liked to smell.

Great article, rather unbiased even if some of the facts were wrong.

Nice article. Further proof that common sense and rational thought can, indeed, hang in there and eventually prevail, if the intelligent ones among us simply carry on.

Suggestion: Highly recommend that you quietly and innocently leave copies of the article lying around your offices and work places in high traffic areas, and frequently. (I know I am!! lol......)

Finally nice to see a positive spin on the e-cigs.. and I was very surprised to see this was NBC putting out the article since they are usually terrible at reporting accurate details (even though it looks like their stats were inaccurate) ... the more companies see the positive effects it has on productivity (which its hard NOT to) the more others will start following the same path.

As long as I'm vaping Frenilla, CLS or CB, it's all good at the job...

You know, I'm waiting for the day I come across SOME article that has their facts straight about vaping...

Welcome to ECF Ben. Great interviews in that article!

That's cool if you're working in NJ considering they were the first ban state.

I got the same thing back in the "old days". Not at work because I was already retired, but during local poker tournaments run by someone very anti-smoking. He as well as some of the players were very vocal about smoking. None of the venues had smoking in the poker room, but a number allowed smoking in the pub area. I'd vape while playing but on occasion I didn't even bother. I had more of the anti-smokers askiung me why I wasn't vaping. They missed the Strawberry Cheesecake that I was vaping at the time. I even fooled a couple of them thinking someone was backing cookies when I vaped chocolate.

Plus use your social media. I'm hoping that non-smokers get an understanding of what's going on. TRhey certainly aren't going to get it from MSM.

Very nice Ben and welcome!

Thanks for reading, I wrote it, which stats did you have a question about?

The Mistic survey was correctly quoted, but it's ambiguous to say the least. The first part of the Business Week piece says that 63% of those surveyed wouldn't mind if someone vaped "in close proximity."

Also, the air quality studies very rarely compare indoor vaping to any standard. In other words, someone could be wearing perfume and the result would be "particles in the air." It turns out that vaping does introduce stuff into the air, but not much: BMC Public Health | Full text | Peering through the mist: systematic review of what the chemistry of contaminants in electronic cigarettes tells us about health risks (there are other analyses which show that vaping is comparable to prescribed nicotine inhalers, actually less I believe, in terms of air quality issues).

That said, it was nice to read an article abut vaping that didn't mention the plethora of junk and/or out-of-context information that one usually sees. For example the nonsense about an alleged minor "gateway to tobacco smoking" (minor use of tobacco cigarettes is plummeting), or the poison control center calls (200 a month for vaping, 20,000 a year for toothpaste). Etc.

We appreciate the very rare piece that isn't loaded up with gratuitous false and/or misleading information. It's extremely rare to find, perhaps only one article in 50.

And welcome to ECF
