If the person next to you at work started using a cigarette at their desk, would you challenge them?
Employers could be forgiven for thinking it is an issue that belongs to a bygone era.
But the rise in popularity of electronic cigarettes is leaving businesses with something of a dilemma: it does not break the law, but should it be allowed?
Workplaces across the UK are starting to ban staff from using them, including NHS Fife and Blackburn College in Lancashire.
Sales of e-cigarettes, battery-powered sticks that release a hit of nicotine when inhaled, have soared in the past decade.

We vape in the office I say we as four out of the eight people in the office are vapers, but we don't do it when a certain individual is in the office and is convinced that the vapour will cause him great harm and near certain death! We took a conscious decision that we will refrain from Vaping when he is there as it makes life easier for all especially the HR team!

I have a friend like this.. It drives me insane as I went to the trouble of finding many documents to settle his concerns and his reply was "I can't be bothered to read all that". Ignorance springs to mind. Further more he sits there chugging on the real deal.. some people fear change/new things.

Some, such as the seVen22 weigh almost half a kilo and if thrown hard into the face of an anti vaper or in fact any misinformed cretin, could cause serious facial injuries or indeed broken bones. If dropped off a skyscraper it could even kill people down below.
It could also save the life or well being of the person using it in a number of as yet unspecified ways, though this could include defending oneself by, A, not risking all the dangers that come with smoking a traditional cigarette, or B, forcibly hitting someone in the face who is infringing upon the rights of the vape device user in a repeatedly stress induced frenzy.

see, they really could be dangerous :-)
