The company is part of the hospitality industry and smoking in a designated area does not look good for the guest. Also, the company is a private held company.

Absolutely 100% legal. You can tell me I can't smoke in your home and a business owner can tell you not to smoke on his/her property. No legal violations here.

Absolutely. You should also know that the legality recently was upheld of an employer being able to tell employees not to smoke in their private lives because of insurance concerns. In other words, your employer has the legal right to fire you if you smoke at home, on your own time and can actually go so far as to give you drug testing for nicotine.
Your rights in this matter are FAR less than you probably think.

I'll tell you what~ I have smoked cigg's off and on for at least 35 years. When my health turned bad and all of a sudden~ Im breathing in air and its NOT going to my lungs to give me Oxygen~ ITS A HUGE FREAK OUT! When I was smoking weed~ it made me feel like i was not in control of myself and I felt very paranoid. It was like being awake in a living hell for me. I only smoked weed for less then 1 year. But there are times I still miss the peace and calmness of smoking a cigg. but I dont want to ever experience that loss of air in my lungs ever again. I never have cared an iota about the cancer from the ciggs~ its the loss of oxygen. I guess you'll have to read what I wrote, and delete my answers because I could NEVER ever prefer either any longer~ yrs ago, it would have been the cigg. though.

Yes! It is actually illegal for the smokers to smoke within 25 feet of nonsmokers, and if he tells them to go elsewhere, I believe he is a good employer because he cares about his employees health.

Not only is it legal for your employer to have you smoke off their grounds your employer could round up all you smokers and lay you off just cause you are a smoker. It's just not a good time to be smoker.

It depends. Are you in one of the states that has a smoking ban?
