Company Policies

If you own a business, you should have clear policies in place regarding workplace vaping. Vaping is a legal issue that can impact your company's bottom line and reputation. Adopting an approach that is consistently enforced, fair, reasonable, and per state and federal laws is preferable.

 

As an example:

● Smoking is not permitted in any enclosed area where employees work (i.e., offices)

● Unless authorized by management, there will be no vaping anywhere on the premises.

 

Health Risks

The FDA, CDC, or EPA have no authority over vaping. That is, e-cigarettes are only tested to see if they contain any chemicals that are harmful to your health—and even then, there is no guarantee that all of those chemicals will be identified. There have been no studies on the effects of vaping on lung function in nonsmokers like you and me who vape at home. The few studies that have been conducted have yielded contradictory results: some show an increased risk of lung disease, while others show no difference in lung function between smokers and vapers (although these may be limited due to small sample sizes).

 

Productivity

Vaping can affect your productivity in a variety of ways. For example, vaping affects how you feel and perform on the job. It's common for vapers to feel more alert or energetic after vaping than they did before they started vaping. That's because nicotine stimulates receptors in the brain that affect mood and energy levels. Additionally, some people find that their ability to concentrate improves when they're around other people who are also using e-cigs or waxes at work—and this can have an impact on your ability to complete tasks successfully within an allotted period (for example, if there's an assignment due tomorrow).

If these consequences aren't enough motivation for employers who want their employees to work well without sacrificing their health or productivity—or if these issues don't seem like a big deal when compared to other aspects of life at work—then perhaps it's time for everyone involved (employer/employee) to consider whether or not vaping should be allowed anywhere near any workplace environment where safety standards must be fully maintained.

 

Respect for Coworkers

Respect for coworkers is a core workplace value. You must respect your coworkers' privacy and personal space, as well as their belongings and time. It would help if you also respected each other's health by not smoking near them or in an area where they might be exposed to secondhand smoke. It is important to note that this rule applies even if you are taking breaks with your coworkers or talking with them between shifts at work—even if they are not working alongside you at the time!

 

Communication

Vaping in the workplace is a relatively new practice, and as with anything new and growing in popularity, there will inevitably be disagreements. One of these conflicts could be an employer's workplace vaping policies (or anywhere else).

Vaping can be dangerous if done without proper precautions. You should never use an e-cigarette while driving or operating heavy machinery, even if it appears to be a real cigarette! You should avoid smoking in public places or where others could be exposed to secondhand smoke or vapors from your e-cigarettes.

The key here is communication between both parties: employers who want employees following their rules and employees who want to do what they feel best suits them individually and professionally.

 

Air Quality

Vaping can be a great way to reduce tobacco use, but it's essential to consider the effects of secondhand smoke. Because vapers exhale vaporized liquid into the air and then inhale that same vapor again, they're more prone than non-vapers to release harmful chemicals into their surroundings.

The effects of vaping on health range from minor (like dizziness) or severe (like heart disease) depending on how often you use it and what liquids you choose. Some studies have shown that vaping could lead to respiratory issues like emphysema or bronchitis; others show no link between vaping and these conditions.

Suppose your employer allows employees to use e-cigarettes at work, whether for medical reasons or simply because they don't want employees smoking tobacco products, you should consult an allergist before deciding whether it's safe for those around you who may have allergies related explicitly to tobacco!

 

Personal Responsibility

As the person who will be vaping, you are responsible for the health of yourself and others. If you vape in a public place, there is a chance that someone will smell it and report it to management. Others may be exposed to secondhand vapor from your device if you vape in an enclosed space, such as your car or office cubicle (the same happens when people smoke cigarettes). This can result in negative consequences such as headaches, nausea, and lung diseases such as asthma!

 

Vape juice contains nicotine-containing chemicals; some have more than others, depending on their strength levels (like nicotine gum). Nicotine is addictive, so it's critical that no one else becomes addicted but also that no one else becomes ill due to this habit!

 

Key Takeaway

Vaping is a growing phenomenon that will only get more popular over time. Most of the time, vaping is done in public places or at work. This means that employers have to be aware of how this practice affects their employees and ensure that they have policies that allow vaping in certain areas or at certain times.
