Another quick question. What do you guys all think about E-Cigs? We do work in domestic properties and one of the lads started smoking one today in the bathroom he is installing. It's a new build extension so I didn't mind that much but I feel it's not right to do this without asking a customer first.

What's everyone's thoughts on this? It's my understanding that they just release water vapour but I wonder if it might offend customers?
 
I think it may offend customers, as they may not fully understand what it is. Also some of them have a very strong odour. I would be asking them to use it outside personally.

I use a one and wouldn't dream of using it in a customers house. Even if they say it's ok I choose not to, I like the couple of minute break going outside!
 
I used to smoke e cigs in peoples houses, but I'd be all secretive about it like a drug addict with a crack pipe. Everytime the customer turned their back i'd puff away or do it in a corner or upstairs.

I gave up as I was going through loads of them.

My tiler uses them, has all sorts of flavours - rhubarb and custard, maple syrup, cherry cola. They don't smell anywhere near as bad as **** but I'd still ask the customer first..

Hmm rhubarb and custard you say?!...... Googling as we speak!
 
If it was one of my jobs I'd of took it off him, no matter how you see it any smoking should be done outside especially in a customers house to show respect to the customer even if they say its okay

nice to see the telegraph article on e-cigs recently, just as carcinogenic as ****, different poisons though, so keep puffing *** monkeys, more wakes for the rest of us to drink at 🙂
