VAPING PERVADES THE WORKPLACE

 

IQOS HEETS DUBAI

A Truth Initiative study published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine finds that it is increasingly pervasive: more than three-fourths (76%) of e-cigarette users reported vaping at work themselves — nearly one-fifth (19.1%) of the surveyed population. iqos dubai

The majority of adults surveyed (61.6%) observed coworkers vaping at work. The study surveyed 1,607 U.S. adults aged 18-65 employed full-time with companies with 150+ employees in November 2019, when widespread work-from-home policies hadn’t yet been implemented in response to COVID-19. iqos uae

Nearly all (98.6%) participants reported seeing coworkers vaping outdoors, but vaping occurs indoors too: over half (57.7%) reported seeing coworkers vape indoors, 98% reported seeing coworkers take breaks to vape, and most reported seeing or smelling vapor at work (90.3% and 75.6%, respectively). Those who vape indoors do not appear to limit vaping to leisure time: nearly 60% (57.5%) of respondents indicated that a coworker had vaped while conducting business with them or while in the respondents’ workspace, and 16.9% of respondents reported that this happened often.iqos heets uae
