Really.

Our 'lil company bans all tobacco use on the property except for a designated smoking area.

But one can pop a Nicorette stick of gum or lozenge anywhere.

But no chew.

It does have a faint odor but by no means compares to smoke.

It doesn't bother me if somebody smokes an electric cigarette (we have a guy at the job that does) or chews snuff so long as they don't spit it out everywhere on the floor. Neither of them pollute my air.

Not at all. They're harmless and the smell doesn't stain or carry.

My roommate bought a e-cig and I think they work well, your not feeding into the major tobacco companies and while they may not be as healthy for you as just quitting still they are better than regular ciggs. Especially considering they don't leave that nasty residue which btw turns everything yellow and is rather nasty. Also with e-cigs I don't come away smelling like smoke which I'm rather happy about.

I think e-cigs are great. Everything I absolutely HATE about regular cigarettes are eliminated with e-cigs. I'm surprised it took this long for technology to advance.

As long as it doesn't stink, I don't care.

I am all for them. Smoker co-workers can finally work a full day instead of taking an extra break every hour to go outside and smoke.

Heck I don't care if my co-worker smokes a real cigarette. Even though I am a non-smoker I dislike the stigma we put on tobacco.

I smoke e-cigs regularly but only in private. While I know the facts about them I don't presume that other people around me know so out of respect I don't smoke them in public.

1. If the smell in not offensive.
2. If the fumes are not harmful to me.

I’m fine with it.


I firmly believe in the outright BANNING by Code of Business Conduct with the force of Summary Dismissal of anyone who microwaves FISH at work.

I also believe there should be punishment for microwave burning popcorn.
