Interesting question. But that isn't the environment we are in right now so its not relevant and what you have done is change the subject to maybe avoid answering the original question.
Let me set the stage for the current environment a little clearer. Right now the nonsmoking clerk we will call Martha works for Sears has a right to work in a nonsmoking environment. Her sister Mary on the other hand is a trained waitress who works for Smokey Bar and Grill, one of two restaurants in town who both allow smoking. Why does Martha have a government protected right to work in a nonsmoking environment while poor Mary isn't allowed the same priviledge ?
Suppose I own the bar with no employees? The superior elite power grabbers still want to tell me how to run my business. But that's ok for the V ery R ightious W illing C onspirators.
The answer is simple. NEITHER of them have the right to a "nonsmoking" environment.
This is a right to work state. Employers can establish whatever rules they choose. Workers can choose to work there or not. That is the extent of their "rights", on both sides, or at least it should be.
My employer doesn't allow smoking in the office during normal business hours. If I don't like it, I can choose to work elsewhere.
