I work in at AF base and they have all the smoking areas right outside the doors---they need to make these employees go away from the building...they have already spent lots of money for gazebo's for smokers--non smokers have NOTHING--what part of that scenerio is wrong??

Great and yaaaaay. Time is now to stop all smokers from smoking during work hours. When a smoker returns from one of his/her numerous breaks the smell of smoke is still with them and reeks my office space. I have requested coworkers not to come to me for at least 20 minutes after a smoke break. Sad for prouctivity, better for my health. Sad

Federal workers now protected from secondhand smok

The federal building I work in has now put into place a policy where workers can no longer smoke in the building. Before this plan went into affect there was a first floor area for smokers to congregate. Smokers are no longer allowed to smoke in that area. But...they can still smoke outside the doors of the building (at least 25 feet from the door). But everyone coming in and out of the building still have to walk past the smokers when leaving the building and heading for whatever destination they are going to. So....we are still inhaling that secondhand smoke. So what's the difference? Actually it was better before, because the smokers were confined to one area. Which gave everyone else the choice of walking past that area to get where they were going or go another route to avoid the smokers. We can't do that now!
