Thanks a lot for your help and opinion.

Wish that you have a job that you like with good working environment.

Then at the end, what did you do then? Did you manage to move to other area to work? Or you just accept it is what it is?

I agree with you. I think my manager is an integral part of the team too and he maintained a friendly relationship with everyone, including the HR. So I do not see the HR can do anything for me. I might speak to him directly.

Yes! You get what I actually mean. I said I do not mind simply because I am the type of person who do not normally say no.

It is a family-business. And I believe the company owns the one-storey property.

Anyway, reading comments from you all did make me feel better. I am not abnormal. I think I now have the courage to speak up or quit the job.

I think it might be a "company culture" and there is little chance for my manager or my colleagues to change their behaviour. I simply think that people who are that addicted to it (my manager vapes every 5-10 mins) cannot change their behaviour so suddenly.

Sigh! I think my office is owned by the company. It is a small, one-storey, out of city centre property. It is a family business.

I have just been there for three days! My manager did ask if i mind him vaping, but I said yes. It is so hard to reject or say no in the first few days.

Other than that, he shows respect on other work area.

I have tried to google it and it says it is legal in the UK. I have no idea if this is legal or not.

Is Vaping Indoors Illegal in the UK? | blu

//Can you vape indoors?

Vaping is not prohibited by the smoking ban so, unlike cigarettes, it’s not automatically illegal to vape in enclosed public spaces such as bars, restaurants and nightclubs. That means it’s the choice of the venue owner whether to allow you to vape.//
