According to a report by the Dailydot, users of the social media platform TikTok recently discovered a regulation urging people to refrain from using e-cigarettes indoors at a restaurant. This video has already garnered over 552,000 views since its upload. The footage shows the restaurant's kitchen with prominent signs stating "No e-cigarette smoking near food.
While cigarette smoke may leave stains and create difficult-to-remove odors, the smoke produced by e-cigarettes generally does not have this impact, although users of e-cigarettes may release nicotine and propylene glycol into the air.
Commenters speculate why management is so insistent on requiring staff to cease using e-cigarettes.
A commentator pointed out that while the impact of e-cigarettes may be minimal, those who smoke heavily over a long period of time can detect the taste. Additionally, individuals who are allergic to nicotine may experience symptoms such as headaches, wheezing, nasal congestion, and sneezing after being exposed to nicotine. This is also one of the hygiene considerations for banning smoking in restaurants, as nicotine can potentially accumulate on surfaces and trigger allergic reactions.
Despite these warnings, users in the comment section admit that the act of vaping e-cigarettes in restaurant kitchens is extremely common. One user writes, "It's a common occurrence to see people vaping in every corner of the back kitchen." Another user adds, "Even the manager walks through the kitchen with a cloud of smoke."
