ACAS E- Cig advice and guidance for employers

[ausfost]

Acas have published this, ACAS

not really helpful in my opinion, raises concerns about "passive consumption" which is bound to be picked up on.

[toots]

I also don't like the way they keep using the word 'smoking' an e-cigarette. They point out in their first paragraph that it's not smoking as there is no burning and then they keep saying 'smoking' an e-cig bla bla bla

My is still using the gateway to smoking/normalising smoking among young people as an excuse for their ban, no matter that this has been discredited. Guess they will latch on to any statement in the media no matter how unproven or incorrect to forward their own regime. To make this even more incredulous, I cant vape behind our builiding as its on the workplace grounds, even though noone frequents this area, but instead I need to vape out in front of the premesis which is always buzzing with kids. (work in a school btw).

So...you cant vape hiding away in an area that kids never enter as it will make them start smoking, but you can vape in full view of hundred ok kids in fromt of the school grounds....where is the logic.

sign on my bench

Rules of my bench
If you don’t like me vaping piss off
I have a right to vape as you have the right to breath
I don’t ask you to come to my bench so don’t moan about vaping
I don’t complain about your farting and my vape is sweeter than that
I will vape at my bench or outside the choice is yours
I vape for hours at a time think of the work that wont get done
I smell of lovely sweet flavours
You smell of sh*t
Guess who gets the outdoor jobs


its all hand written in old English and any complaints I just point to it

It's not helpful......

Simple...misuse of incorrect terms...

ACAS need wacking with a vamo . My bet (not) is on the vamo

[thatguy]

Yup, about time we made use of that conveniently shaped vamo storage hole they all have on their rear side. They talk out them, so let them vape out them as well.

Yeah, and my OH is soooooo guilty of that too. I keep on telling him 'it's vaping, not smoking' and he just says 'well you know what I mean' grrrrrr
