It HAS been debunked. Over and over again. And even by the WHO!

Good. Then, by all means, beat that drum for all to hear.

If we can convince the non-smoking public that secondhand smoke poses no real health risk, it becomes a lot easier to convince them that there is no justification for government regulation in the workplace. Muddy the message with the "workers who don't like it can find other jobs" line at your own peril.

Which reminds me of one gal who worked in a bar and couldn't stand the smoke.

She more or less demanded the owner go smoke free.

Guess what?  She was out on the streets looking for another job.

BTW, it is no longer even presented under the guise of "health risks" to workers. It is presented as a convenience that they get to avoid the "unpleasant" smell. They celebrate it because their clothes don't stink.
