🏢 Office Vaping Etiquette
✅ Do
- Follow the same rules as smoking — go to designated outdoor areas
- Take normal break times (don't take extra-long vape breaks)
- Wash your hands and freshen your breath before meetings
- Be discreet about your device — keep it in your pocket or bag
- Use mint/menthol flavors at work (less lingering smell)
❌ Don't
- Vape at your desk — even if you think no one notices
- Vape in bathrooms, stairwells, or hallways
- Take vape breaks every 20 minutes (it looks bad)
- Blow clouds out the window from your desk
- Offer your vape to coworkers unsolicited
Most workplaces treat vaping the same as smoking under their smoke-free policies. Some explicitly mention e-cigarettes; others don't but enforce them the same way. The safest approach is to follow the smoker rules: go outside, use designated areas, and keep your breaks reasonable.
Work from home? It's your space, so vape away. But be mindful of video calls — turn off your camera if you'll be vaping, and consider how it looks to clients or executives. A lot of remote workers keep a discreet pod system handy for quick hits between meetings.
