Michelle Capewell, a 41-year-old from Abbey Hulton, told the Staffordshire Sentinel
that she had been asked to leave the branch of Mothercare where she
works, after absent-mindedly using an e-cigarette in front of customers.
She said it was in her pocket and she used it without thinking.
She could be the first on record to face problems for using an
e-cigarette, but plenty of people have been sacked because of their
smoking habits.

Suspended
Capewell worked at a PixiFoto booth inside a Stoke-on-Trent branch of
Mothercare. She told the newspaper that she was talking to her area
manager and was fairly stressed, so she reached into her pocket for the
e-cigarette without thinking. She was phoned shortly afterwards by a
manager, who asked her to leave the store immediately.
PixiFoto told the Daily Mail that she was still employed by the company, but was on paid leave while the company ‘investigate other issues.’
The use of e-cigarettes is difficult territory. While they do not
produce the fumes that smoke does, and are not thought to be harmful to
co-workers or customers, there’s the question of company image to
consider.
Sacked for smoking
Capewell may be the first to hit the headlines over use of an
e-cigarette at work. However, there’s no end of people who have been in
trouble with their boss for smoking. We tracked down five of the more
unusual cases.
1. In 2004, when the smoking ban was new to Ireland, a member of the
Irish Parliament fell foul of the new law. John Deasy smoked in the
parliamentary members’ bar and was immediately sacked.
2. In 2010, two supermarket employees were evacuated from the building,
after a fire alarm went off. To pass the time they both had a cigarette.
However, they were spotted by a manager, and because they were outside a
designated smoking area they were fired.
3. In 2001 a salesman was sacked for smoking at home. He was employed by
a Swindon company which said it did not allow smoking. But while he
realised he wouldn’t be allowed to smoke at work, he didn’t realise the
ban applied to his spare time too. He let the fact slip on his second
day and was dismissed.
4. Then last year there was the case of the Australian who was sacked
for smoking at work. He was working underground in a coal mine at the
time.
5. And finally, there was the Canadian man who tweeted this August that
he was in need of some pot. Police read the tweet and called on him,
then his bosses heard the news and he was fired.
The Shisha hookah seems a better deal than the other tobacco products for many reasons. The best thing about these is, the fact that you will never become addictive to these since these never ignite any amount of craving inside your body unlike the cigarettes.
