What do you do for a living? And how does you place of business take to your PV?

[cyberwolfrob]

Just wondering what everyone does for work and how the work environment takes to your PV. Whether you just use it on break,at your desk or all throughout the work place. What reactions have you gotten?

I am a Baker at Fred Meyer and the only place I can really use it in the store is in our break room and not on the floor (for food safety reasons and to maintain a professional appearance). There is a toatal of 3 of us that use PV's and for the first couple of day's the others would always give the strangest looks,but not say anything. Eventually some started asking questions and we explained and we all got the "good for you,Congrats". The boss has approved for break room use,as he would "much rather have us using these than standing near the employee ntrance stinking up the hallway" and he feels it gives a better appearance to the store and employees by not walking around smelling like an ashtray lol.

I am a personal assist, for a goverment official....drive, errands, redecorate bathrooms....so it really does not effect my job, since I am only around him about 2 hours a day.

I'm a computer technician running my own business. Since I am on site at customers' homes a lot, I generally will not vape there. If they happen to be smokers and ask me if I mind, well, then I have an opening to tell them about vaping. ;-)

Sat Tv installer. I Hit the 801 all over customers homes when i need it and no one is around. if the customer is smoking in the home i bust it out in front of them and have at it. So far in the 3 weeks of vapor ive had 5 customers asking how to get one

Director of Technology for a retail pet supply chain. We're starting a program to eliminate smoking on the premises by 1/1/2011. My PV is NOT part of the program!!!

Everyone here loves the various scents in my office, and after showing them the difference between smoke through a napkin vs vape, nobody is afraid of the 2nd-hand vape.

I'm a weighmaster in a refinery. My office area is down at the end of the hall. I'm vaping the whole 12hrs I'm there. During the weekday shifts when the office workers are in I can hear them comming down the hall so no problems there. When I'm on nights I don't have to worry about anyone so that's good. I've only told a few trusted co-workers about it. Non-smokers but they are very happy for me. Unfortunately none of the few smokers I've mentioned it to were very interested. I will not ask permission to use it inside as there are too many antis working in the office. Been vaping over 9 months and they haven't caught me yet ha ha!!

I am basically a doorman at a club. The only person who has and objection to my pv at work is me cause I get sick of explaining it to drunks 100 times a night. Now if I had some to sell I would be fine with it and my boss said he would be fine with me selling them. Right now its a big hassle because we have to let people go outside to smoke and they can't take drinks out or we get fined 5000 dollars.

Computer programmer here. My boss is the one that got me to use a PV in the first place so he has no problems whatsoever . Most of the employees here were smokers but they switched to using a PV as well. So far nobody has complained. In fact, since everybody has started switching from analogs to using a PV, I've been getting to try tons of different flavors .

Good to hear that everyone is getting such positive feedback on kicking the habit and that the employers and co-workers are very liking towards it.

Should have just told him that you were remodeling your lungs!

I'm a housewife that now babysits full time. To tell you the truth, the lady I babysit for approached me and asked me to do it...she never knew me, never asked if I smoke or drink...so I don't give a crap what she thinks. No offense. Her mother is a heavy smoker and smokes with kids in the car and the windows up. If she ever says anything about my vaping I'll tell her to find another sitter. Just like she knows we are avid wine/beer makers...she didn't know that at first, but I have never hid it from her. Once again, if she has a problem with my life, she can find somebody else. I don't drink in front of her kids...and I'm a good person! ROFL! She has never said anything but I doubt she has ever seen me use it even though it's always hanging out my mouth. My janty stick looks nothing like a cig...and the fog in the air in my house can be all kinds of different things. She has never even noticed! ROFL! Yes, I take proper precautions, liquids out of reach and in child safety bottles and those bottles are in childproof med bottles. A child would have to learn how to climb and open TWO childproof bottles in a matter of seconds to get into them (and the only one out is usually in my pocket...still in the childproof bottles of course).

I'm a computer programmer at a bank (non-retail location) and I have yet to receive any objections. I vape all day here.

 

[JDSupreme]

Sales Rep for a few big industrial pump distributors. Mainly work out of the office in our house but travel around to different steel mills, power plants, etc. I'm going to have to start selling PV's as well. If I had a case of them available in my travels I'd be selling them like crazy! A ton of positive interest!!! Im around alot of smokers who cant smoke where they work.

As far as vaping at my cubicle, the boss' opinion is it's ok till someone complains.

[pisacandy]

Waitress... we have a partially enclosed station where I keep my 510, and I just lean down a bit and inhale... if I can't control the vapor, I stand by the coffee machine (since it steams, ya know lol) and let it out... it sure is better than serving food while smelling like a nasty analog! Who knows how many tips it may have cost me before

 

[AJMoore]

Self employed, Property Management and Real Estate. Vape all day at my desk, in my car, just not in front of clients. My assistant is an ex smoker (you know how those types can be) and she is overjoyed with the PV, doesn't mind me vaping all around her!

Very smart thinkin on your part!

 

[beecee]

Voice Network Engineer in IT for "some company" and I use my PV at my desk and outside. I've slowed down on using it at my desk though but I was told I could by my boss...I just choose not to make a big thing about it.
