WHEN IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST TIME TO STEALTH VAPE AT WORK …?

Maybe , as Fox News host Sean Hannity found out , when four million viewers are watching you on TV !
Words : Jordan Millar

W hen you ’ ve gotta vape , you ’ ve gotta vape . It ’ s easy to get caught out having a crafty vape at work , especially when you ’ ve still got an hour left on the clock and you ’ re craving something sweeter than the office coffee .

Fox News host Sean Hannity recently fell victim to this innocent mistake . However , he did it while live on air with millions of viewers watching .
As the show returned from a commercial break , he could be seen lost in thought with a small pod device in his mouth . Hannity continued to vape until an offscreen colleague whispered “ Sean , Sean ,” and the penny finally dropped . He quickly whisked the device from his lips before regaining his composure to usher in the next segment where he greeted viewers with a sheepish “ uh oh .”
“ Of course , what America really wants to know is ; what is he vaping ?”
Fans of the show quickly took to social media , sharing their thoughts about his onair blunder :
“ I ’ ve always called him a boomer ’ s newscaster . Might have to eat my words . Guy ’ s a legend now .”
“ I definitely did not have ‘ Sean Hannity blowing Juul clouds on air ’ on my 2021 BINGO card ” “ Sean Hannity sucking on his Juul like it ’ s an 1870 ’ s pipe lololol ”
“ I love genuine actions & reactions that make us all human and relatable ... chill moments are the ultimate goal and our common denominator ”
The Young Turks - a progressive YouTube news show - jokingly dubbed Hannity ‘ Darth Vaper ’ in their follow up commentary , with host Cenk Uygar saying he might prefer Sean ’ s ‘ break ’ persona to his on-air personality .
Uygar said : “ Of course , what America really wants to know is ; what is he vaping ?”
This isn ’ t the first time the right-wing TV personality has been caught out on-air , as footage of him smoking during the video segment of an episode surfaced online in 2017 .
When reminded of his previous slip up , Hannity laughed it off , telling his colleague Laura Ingraham : “ Enjoy it , everybody , at my expense … I have a good sense of humour .”
