Not sure if I should be proud or worried

[kibbster]

Been told today that one of the people at work is on the warpath with me a bit.
Looks like I've started a bit of a craze here with vaping
Someone was "caught" yesterday vaping at their machine in the factory by a ANTZ (I would assume) and said ANTZ seems to be blaming me as a first adopter of vaping in the workplace heheh
Apparently they should be banned because it's not fair on smokers that want to smoke and have to wait for their breaks.

I can't wait for her to confront me with that little nugget

If people in the factory are vaping away I'm quite proud
The people standing out in the cold killing themselves is getting smaller and I didn't even have to try and sell it to them, just the fact that I stuck with it has sold it to them (Oh and vaping indoors as well.)

Still besides my pride I feel at the mo (I'm such a naughty little rebel) this could go one of two ways, I win the "discussion" or it get's to the MD and he makes a decision on company policy.
As he's an ANTZ too, I don't hold out much hope for a good outcome with that path.

Still I'll let you know what happens
Should be interesting either way.

I don't see how they can blame you for someone elses actions

There really are some jobsworths around aren't there?

I remember working at Ambrosia 20 odd years ago - they had loads of free, open area at the back of the factory and yet they used to cram all the smokers into these tiny huts, so cramped at times it was hard to breathe with or without the smoke LoL Of course me and a mate used to just bugger off round the back - sit on the grass and chill whilst having a coffee and a fag and everyone else would come back complaining of being cramped in the smokers huts

These days - it would be much more pleasant - but it would lead to exactly the same comments as thee've been having LoL

Well I think she's pissed that I do the same out in the factory and I was the first, whilst working I'll have a bit of a subtle vape.
She obvious has seen me doing it too and now has a proper panty twist situation where one of her minions decided to do the same.
She's got no say over what I can and can't do as she's not my manager but she could cause problems for me with my manager or the MD if she wanted.

I don't think she will, but when it was just me it was pretty much under the radar but the more people that do it the more likely things will come to a head one way or another.

I think you should be proud

Pff, anti-smokers will always find something to bitch about. If it's not smokers taking 'all those breaks we don't get', it's vapers 'smoking at their machines'. Oh, the horror!!

Hope it all works out for you Kibbster, I know you know there's plenty of ammunition out there if it goes all the way to the top

Be Prepared! print out some data to back you up about the myth of passive vaping & the benefits of E-cigs.

What is her beef exactly?

I bet she trolls out that "your nicotine" is poisning her or giving her cancer!

Surely your MD would rather have someone at work then outside having a stinkie?

YOU are less likely to be ill/off sick than a smoker.
