Either the canteen or designated smoking area?

I think Canteen 1 vs DSA 0.

Good to see the comment about the

Studies carried out by the US Food and Drugs Administration classified the vapour produced by e-cigarettes as “Generally Recognised as Safe”. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) concluded that there was “no apparent risk to human health” from second-hand exposure to vapour.

I was impressed with that too.
The MD has obviously done some research and the fact none of the Mad Glans, "Think of the kids" McKee, BMA or WHO was quoted means my respect for the MD has raised immeasurably

I would guess he decided they are raving nutters too and ignored them lol

Seems like a fair, balanced policy to me  . . . well done Kibbs for getting your company to look beyond the drivel that gets posted about ecigs.


Wish I could vape in the dining room rather than having to use the smoking shelter.

My work place has banned it and vaping is only allowed in smoking areas(they think nicotine is very bad) I had to inform the hs officer they are chatting crap he's a non smoker and now have funds to make a vaping area so I think I got a result..hate company's being own by American parent company is it me but they go to the extreme?

I guess it's a matter of perspective from management.
My MD obviously views vaping as giving up smoking so won't force vapers to use the smoking shelter.

Others may not be so close to the truth and view vaping as a new form of smoking so subject to the same policies.
Very much like in politics.
