Hi there, I did some research for work recently because of the increased amount of people using them around others, so after a little work, we made it company policy to also ban staff using them in the offices, the reason being, as you've pointed out, it does contain a small amount of nicotine and obviously vapour. The British Medical Council, going from memory here, are only now starting to put pressure on about the use of ecigs around humans because frankly it's not known how much is getting absorbed from those in the vicinity. I suspect i will only be a matter of time before they are eventually banned also from public area's, how long I don't know because, lets face it, the tobacco industry did a really good job of hiding the actual harmful resulting from smoking tobacco, let alone bystanders.
So, you're probably not going to like me saying this, but I'd be inclined to say, no usage in front of the kiddies (piggies) i.e. in another room. With indoor piggies, we're are able to move rooms if we are hot/cold/need fresh air or anything whereas they aren't.
Sorry, I don't know if that helps...but I would say....brilliant news on the stopping the cigs, I know it's incredibly hard, having watched my mum do this several times...you can sign up for the Stop Smoking campaign with your local chemist whereby you go in weekly and have your levels tested...it's like a programme, almost Slimming World/Weight Watchers but for smokers.
Well done on the start...great effort!
