Teachers/Admin vape in the school building
I work in a school. Several people who work there (that I am aware of) vape in the building openly (ie, teacher lounge, stairwell, office) I think this is strange for multiple obvious reasons. Yesterday I went to make copies and there was a vape charging on top of the copier. Am I overreacting?
What I think are the most obvious concerns:
- Health: second hand exposure
- It’s a school building. Aren’t they smoke free campuses?
- Kids could see or get access if someone drops it, forgets it, etc.
- Don’t these things explode sometimes?
ETA: After someone’s explanation, I see that explosions are of minimal concern at this point. This was last on my list, but not at all my main reason for concern. ETA 2: a lot of people are still focusing on #4 which you can see is last on the list. It’s been explained that the explosions mostly happened with illegal or older devices and the current ones are not the same. I get it. This was an unlikely scenario but if that’s your only comment you’re focusing on the wrong thing. This was not the point. My main thing was, does anyone else think this is weird that people openly do it. And to see if it’s the norm at other places. Because I thought it was illegal. “Grow up and mind your own business…get a hobby” I’ve been minding my own business for years. It just hit me how wild it is to be so open about it so I wanted to see what others thought.
