We used to have smoking lounges at work. That wasn't good enough. Now they don't even want us CLOSE to work!
A front page article in this morning's newspaper was about how all applications for waiver's to the upcoming total statewide smoking ban were rejected.
Two of these requests came from long-term care facilities that had previously built what they termed "smoking huts" for their patients and personnel. Seperate buildings - just for smokers - the waivers were denied - and one of these is a state owned facility.
Walking through a group of smokers at the doorway is a gross way to start the day.
