Tobacco is a legal product to sell, but you can't smoke in the shop where it is sold, you can't smoke in your own home [if a neighbor can smell it], if you have children it is child abuse and if you go fishing on the sea and smoke you can lose your job. It is simply creeping prohibition and taking away your rights to live as you want because the anti-smoking nannies know how you should live better than you do. Next they will tell you what you may eat or drink and enforce it by similar types of laws. Stop them at no smoking inside buildings open to the public and let employers decide whether to allow smoking in the workplace only. What you do at home on your own time is your own business. Next they will fire people who have a pint at the pub on Friday night, or those who eat greasy fish and chips, using the same kind of reasoning, those things are unhealthy. Then it will extend to risky sports like skiing, football and swimming, because you could get hurt. Big Brother is watching, waiting to take control. [see "1984" by George Orwell]

Depends on the employer. Some will let you smoke out the front but most customer concious companiest with stick you out the back some where out of public few. Probably a good thing as it looks really awful having a bunch of people standing out the front of the office huddled up against the wind drawing in smoke.

it depends on the Company.

If it is in a public place that non smokers have to pass through then yes smoking will be prohibited. If it does not affect the non smokers or members of the genral public then dependant on the company concerned the ban might not affect it.

Depends on the company's policy, I was talking to a nurse who isn't allowed to smoke within 2 miles of the hospital! When I am in court there are designated smoking areas on the grounds, they used to have smoking rooms inside the building but they have gone now :(

Answer 7

your employer can provide you with a smoking area (like the one you mentioned) and it can have a roof but it must not be inclosed (walls). they are also responsible for any mess you make so i'd clean up after yourselfs because if your employer gets a £2000 fine because you dropped a *** end he'll/she'll get rid of your smoking area
