I used to hate the mall kiosks where they would be selling vaping supplies and just blowing smoke all over the place. I haven’t seen one recently. We had an influx of smoke shops open up in the area, so maybe that’s why.

My mom at least has one of those thin tiny e-cigs. A guy I used to date had one of the huge ones for which you could buy modifications and upgrades and the cloud of vapor looked like the after effects of a bomb.

I like pi day and all the “days” that are just an excuse to get a treat of some sort. March 23 is World Meteorological Day. This is also National Celery Month. Ya know? Fuck celery. An entire month?? Who the fuck do they think they are?

I walked in on a coworker hitting her weed vape in her office the other day. I called her ballsy and just turned around and left. We are not somewhere it is legal. Okay, see, this is my issue with the normalizing of weed (which I am for legally, but less in love with socially). You shouldn't be hitting up your pipe at work. You shouldn't be doing it in your car (esp while driving). People act like it's a placebo or something. It's not water. It does have a chemical affect. It should be treated, IMO, more like a glass of wine. Perfectly fine in moderate amounts, in the appropriate setting. Neither of which are work, driving, etc. YES I GET THAT IT'S DIFFERENT THAN ALCOHOL. ONCE AGAIN, I SAID WHAT I SAID.

I do think vaping should be treated the same as traditional smoking in terms of advertising restrictions. They're absolutely going after young people. Absolutely. My mom is a high school teacher and says those juuls are used everywhere, on campus, and even in classrooms. Kids are cutting holes in their hoodies to attach the little pen and vape in class.

My H's coworkers go to vaping competitions for best mods to their pens and best smoke clouds and stuff. I still haven't stopped laughing about it. My gosh.

I smoke occasionally, but wouldn’t do it at work. But I’m also not gonna rat out a coworker for something like that. ((We don’t work with the public or health or anything where it would affect another person. If she were a surgeon or something I absolutely would say something))

Even if it is legal, is it okay to smoke weed at work? I cannot imagine what type of work place that would be okay at. Well maybe a surf shop or something. But you know what I mean.

As does my mom. I just learned to not think about it. He does it in private. For him it was a way to help him quit smoking cigarettes but it doesn't seem like the healthiest option either. It's not any healthier. The nicotine content, plus other chemicals, is really high. Vaping is a huge problem in schools and the devices look like flash drives and things so they're hard to identify.

The nicotine content, plus other chemicals, is really high. Vaping is a huge problem in schools and the devices look like flash drives and things so they're hard to identify. I really would like him to stop. I always walk a fine line when it comes to this shit. I want him to quit for himself, and I don't want to push too hard to where there is resentment. I am a hard no with very little wiggle room when it comes to it. It's hard for me to keep that at bay. Especially now that we have two kids.

I will say that most of the weed you get in a vape pen is totally different than the normal weed you buy elsewhere, unless you are in a state where weed is legal. Medical MJ is not like normal pot.

Weed is legal here but same rules/slightly stricter than alcohol. No smoking at work or in public. Must be 21. Etc.
I think it’s stupid that vaping doesn’t have to follow the same rules as tobacco. Like they just had to make a rule about not doing it at school....
Feels very loop hole to me.

My H vapes. I am not sure how I feel about it. Mine does too. But he smoked for 15+ years. So this is an improvement. But I would still prefer he stop all together And yes, he looks silly

According to my planner, Monday was national napping day.
I guess my planner isn't super effective since I missed it.

I will say that most of the weed you get in a vape pen is totally different than the normal weed you buy elsewhere, unless you are in a state where weed is legal. Medical MJ is not like normal pot. Well okay, I didn’t think we were talking about medically prescribed weed. But even if we were, I would think there would generally be restrictions as to use in the work place? (Not speaking to mothafuckinteatime’s work since she already confirmed it wasn’t okay, I am just speaking in generalities.) Weed is legal in my state and I will never be able to use it with my particular job, and I think that includes medical use. I could be wrong about that second part. I haven’t had to know yet. ETA and I am not even talking about using it AT work. I can never test positive or I lose my job.

maybe this is more of a confession than a UO, but I would escalate a coworker smoking weed at work.
maybe i've been on smoke free/drug free office complexes too long. that would really shock me.

In my office we are fond of the silly "holidays." And we do often use them as an excuse for treats.
