No it is a new law that inleast in PA that anyone who smokes can not be hired by the hospital at all.As for this topic being covered there is still room for people to argee or disargee.
Franky I think it is wrong if the boss of the company would not let anyone smoke even in there car or far from the grounds.
Originally posted by ADarksideJediIt's illegal here in the UK for a company to allow smoking in a working environment, just as it is in any indoor public location. We have the same ban that is in a lot of countries.
I had looked but did not see anything on this.If anyone has you can close it.Anyway where work we can smoke outside behind the building, but I know some places like hospitals and such has no smoking what so ever.
Do you think this is unfair or right?
As a non-smoker I like the bans. Especially when it comes to bars and pubs. I couldn't even it imagine going back to the way it was before.
England's:
Smoking became banned in indoor public places in England, including workplaces, bars, clubs and restaurants, from 1 July 2007. Some places, such as certain smoking hotel rooms, nursing homes, prisons, submarines, offshore oil rigs, and stages/television sets (if needed for the performance) are excluded. Palaces were also excluded,[135] although members of the House of Commons and the House of Lords agreed to ban all smoking in the Palace of Westminster.[136] The on-the-spot fine for smoking in a workplace is £50 (~€70/~$100), £30 (~€45/~$60) if one pays within 15 days, while a business that allows it can be fined £2,500 (~€3,700/~$5,000). Smoking will be allowed to continue anywhere outdoors.[137] However, a confidential government briefing obtained by The Independent on Sunday newspaper reveals that provisions are in place for extending the ban to outdoor areas

I don't like walking outside to get some fresh air and then I'm smacked in the face with some nasty-ass, rank, second-hand smoke.I wish they would ban smoking in any location except for inside your own home. That includes skunk weed, as well.
Originally posted by dadudemonThat doesn't really bother me that much. Busy bars/clubs usually have separate smoking areas just off the exit so you don't get hit by the wall of smoke.

It is nice to not even have to think about whether a bar/pub has a non-smoking area though. I remember when I was younger hating walking through the smoking area of a busy pub before getting to the non-smoking area (which was still pretty smoky).

It just so happens that I'm an ***hole when it comes to smoking because of the nose-bleeds and bronchitis it gave me as a child. Usually, I am all for as much liberties as possible...having some libertarian sympathies, of course.
If i were to be unbiased, I'd say that if a place, other than a home, wanted smoking on campus, they should have a room specifically for it, separate in every way from the facility, to avoid the second-hand smoke conundrum.
Edit - lol! I thought a 'non-smoking' area of any joint was the stupidest thing, ever, as a kid. It didn't make a shit of difference. 😆
