Hi Jane

 

My positioning  is such that the e-cigarettes whether or not they are deemed to be part of a smoking cessation package (questionable) is that  they should not be allowed to smoke in at work in their office. As the e-cigarette contains nicotine technically (in my mind) it is still a kind of cigarette and therefore the individuals should go out to a designated smoking area.

 

Now will read the article and see how off base I am!

 

Kind Regards

 

Jo

Hi
 
Have you seen people going around smoking those plastic cigarettes which aren't cigarettes at all?  Well I was asked about whether workers were allowed to use them in the office because - well just because it LOOKED like smoking.  Having thought about this for about 10 minutes - I decided to put it on the 'think about later'  pile until this article came along.  Now before you go to the article what would be your view?
 
Here is the Q & A legal article from Personnel Today.  Interesting...
