I'm confused about the 10-20 states. Is this article saying that 19-20 states are states that forbid smoking in the work place? As well as stepping outside at work to grab a cigarette?

The states being referred to in the article ar "Employment At Will" states where you can be fired or you can quit for any reason or no reason. Unlike "Right to Work" states where there must be cause.

You're making a common mistake. "Right to work" refers to states that have union-unfriendly laws. Right to work doesn't have anything to do with employment at will.

Can you refresh my mind on just what states those are, Gabz?  I can't find anything on what states Stossel is referring to.  Outside of CA, Delaware, Maine, Florida, CT, VT, NY.  That's all that I can muster up at this point.
