Smokers and vapers know all about the health risks of smoking tobacco or using electronic cigarettes. Well, it turns out quite a lot and it’s not all about health issues. This seemed like a magical solution for die-hard smokers.Īnd since it’s not “smoke” but really vapor, what’s the harm in vaping indoors at work? In fact, sometimes, it smells really good. The second-hand vapor isn’t nearly as bad smelling as normal cigarettes.
Then around 2015-ish, e-cigs and vaping technologies started to really become a viable alternative to traditional cigarettes. Often, you had to walk outside to some remote corner and huddle amongst other smokers. It was getting harder and harder to find a convenient place to light up and have a smoke. By the early 2000’s, entire states slowly started to institute indoor smoking bans in public places like restaurants and bars. Starting in the 1980’s, companies started placing restrictions on where workers could smoke. The advertising gang at Sterling Cooper smoked cigarettes like how people drink water from S’Well bottles today.Īs more and more research was released about the harmful effects of second-hand smoke, the public’s tolerance for smoking began to get lower and lower.

If the room has a light switch, it also had an ashtray. That world was pre-1970’s America and nearly every other country on the planet.īack then, ashtrays could be found on nearly every desk and table throughout the building.
Imagine being able to just light up right in your cubicle after a brutally long and intensive conference call. Once upon a time, a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, workers could ease the stresses of the day by just lighting up a mellow cigarette right at their desk.
