Employers More Lenient on Electronic Cigarette Use in Office
Employers in Russia are less likely to ban e-cigarette use in the workplace, according to a SuperJob study.

Based on a study by the employment service division of SuperJob, employers are unlikely to prohibit employees from using electronic cigarettes in the office.


According to research conducted by SuperJob, attitudes among employers towards vaping in the workplace have become more relaxed, with a 1.5-fold decrease in the likelihood of employees being prohibited from smoking in the office compared to three years ago. The survey involved 500 HR managers and employees from all regions of Russia.


According to a recent survey, 28% of companies have a complete ban on smoking e-cigarettes in the workplace, while 62% allow e-cigarette use in the office. 17% of cases prohibit smoking regular cigarettes in the office, but 77% of companies allow employees to smoke in designated smoking areas. Additionally, the frequency of e-cigarette use in any office space is five times higher than that of regular cigarettes.


In March, British American Tobacco, which also produces the Glo tobacco heating system, announced its withdrawal from Russia. "Under current conditions, it is no longer sustainable to conduct our best available technology business in Russia. We have begun the process of rapidly transferring our Russian business in full compliance with international and local laws," the company stated.
