You know, I was pretty much fine when you couldn't smoke in the conference room if someone asked not to smoke, and my boss not smoking in her office (particularly while I was in there) but going to the smoking room down the hall was just a bonus, really.

After that, it started getting a little crazy.
Now I work in a school and smokers have to walk across the parking lot and stand outside the gate to smoke. Even if it's raining or worse. It's Nuts.

Also, people who live in apartments and condominiums might also be exposed to secondhand smoke that drifts from one unit to another in a building.

Here in CA some cities have already banned smoking in apts or condos..

You wanna see nuts? From the article -

“Despite the city’s smoking restrictions, nonsmokers are still exposed to secondhand smoke on sidewalks, including near buildings, at bus stops and at subway entrances”

Now, picture this - some health nut is standing a a bust stop in NYC, briething in diesel bus exhaust, NYC air, the farts of what, 11M people, and who knows what - and he is concerned that somebody up the street might be smoking?

Cognitave dissonance. He is ignoring the alligator eating his arm, to pick at a flea.
