Simple. It's against the law for them to be smoking there plain and simple. Next time you speak to a manager all you have to do is say that you have contacted the health department, given them your name and place of employment and that you believe those whom are smoking inside shouldn't be. This manager will immediately contact the owner/boss and let her know.....it will then be remedied without you losing your job because they know you've given your name and place of employment. Also, contact your local chamber of commerce and tell them your problem...they will also direct you to more of the right places that will be on your side. What the owner is doing is against the law.... And, for fun, I'll call them if you want me to.....I'm a licensed attorney and I love doing stuff like this. let me know, be well, jack

i'm a smoker also, yet that is truthfully ridiculous that they may be so infantile! contact the close by well being branch, and in the journey that they gained't do some thing, hit upon a company place of work at McDonalds - i'm particular they'll. not really are you having to go in the course of the harmful outcomes of second-hand smoke, yet i'm particular purchasers keep in mind that there has been smoking contained in the construction, and it is probable upsetting. As a smoker, i will honestly stop going to a eating position that disallows smoking yet the position i will inform the employees smoke contained in the construction after hours. that's a horrendous double-accepted - for the period of open-hours they are telling purchasers that they help a smoke-loose environment, yet even as the doors close, they are utilizing a similar facility to puff away. And have self assurance me, you may tell!

Smoking around the food is a health violation - call the local health department. If the restaurant is somehow registered with the health department, then smoking anywhere in the building could be a violation.
Just contact the health dept., or threaten to and see if the owner does anything.

First off considering Ohio is smoke free now you can contact the state and report your restaurant, anonymously if you like. It is now illegal to smoke inside all public buildings. Also you can contact the health department because technically you are not suppose to be smoking around food prep stations (I believe
If you really want to you can talk to your manager and ask for a transfer to another McDonald's

Ohio's Smoke-Free Workplace Act will officially take effect on December 7. If your employer allows the employees to smoke after that date, you should report her to your local authorities. make it clear that you intend to uphold the law if she does not. It is your right.

Call the health department.
Smoking in a restaurant's kitchen most certainly is.

Nothing you can do about it. Smoking isn't against the law.
