Smoking Problems @ work

Recommended Posts

I went to break this Morning @ 9am and there were 4 people (co-workers) in the Break room

I did not Cuss him - Nor did i threaten him till he got baligerent,

all i asked the boss was where could i eat & take breaks in safety, he got himself fired...

he made the choice to somke in a NON SMOKING AREA... i did not force him or them... seems the SAFETY man & Plant Owners agreed with me & OSHA...

i take it your one of the people that thinks it's OK for me to go home with smoke on my clothing and have my ASPHMATIC daughter have to go the the EMERGENCY ROOM ??? care to pay the ER bill for me ???

Im a smoker myself and i picked it up from you guess it construction. im not like that though if im asked not or to move away from people i do so gladly. i understand where your coming from man if i didn't smoke id hate it when i was eating or on break as well. Its a good thing you stuck up for yourself man and honestly i totally agree with the no smoking in restaurants and such i think its better for everyone.

As someone who is currently working on quitting smoking (5 cigs in the past week and all bummed) I can already see the difference and smell it too.

Hopefully I can keep away from it.

I agree in having smoking outside, but in a place away from the elements.

As for bars, and resturants..............resturants I see no need to smoke inside of..............bars, well tobacco and booze go hand and hand.........and I see why it works.

yo J, when you finally kick the habit you will suddenly realize just how gross cigs are. at one point in my life i was smoking over a pack of newports or marlboro reds a day. now, four years after quitting, the smell of cigarettes makes me feel sick.

lb: there is really nothing worse than people smoking cigs while you're trying to eat, i'm glad you stuck up for yourself against the majority.

A lil smoke won't kill you

Bull crap.

I grew up with smokers around me but after all these years I can't breathe in a room where people are smoking.

You know how nice it is to have to wait in a room with no ventilation and 6-7 smokers and the smoke chokes you ?

Or, even better, to be in a crowded bus and the bus driver starts smoking. Absolutely awesome feeling to be choked by the smoke.

Or to get out of class and into the lobby where you can cut the smoke with a knife. And even though smoking is fobidden the teachers smoke next to the 'No smoking' signs.

If there is one thing I can't stand it's smoking in public spaces. Smoke outside. Smoke in your house. I don't smoke and I don't want to breathe that smoke.

LB, props for standing up for yourself.

You know this? Why don't you cut yourself open and take a look at the tar that has deposited in your alveoli so they can't expand with oxygen resulting in hypoperfusion and poor cellular respiration, then you will see what smoking does to you.

Haha, and to add to that.

Duran you look like a alveoli.

But to add to this, gj on standing up for yourself.

I HATE cigarette smoke, i dont see how people do it.

It smells like a big pile of burning rubber and other trash when someone fires one up.

You work for the Police, don't you?!!!

When you were in school, were you the one sitting in front of the teacher, always crying when the others were joking about you ???

Lol

You could have just talk longer to them, instead of calling the US army !!!

One people has been fired, and that SUCKS. You can't be pround of that.

You're looking for people to tell you that you did right? Not me!!!

From your posts, it seems that you didn't try hard to find another option. It's sad. I understand you don't like that, but if everybody smoke in the rest room(that's really bad), you should have discuss it with everyone in one of your weekly or monthly meetings before snitching !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These smokers must know they were wrong, but it's difficult to change everyone habits in a second.

Talk, discuss, listen, but don't call the police first : these people are not gangsters, you work with them every day.

Your daughter will be sick with just some smoke on your clothes? My bad!!! You must be joking!

Just take a good shower when you come home, and put some clean clothes on, and even some perfume : you will be fine!
