Let's start adding to the exposure the public already gets when the walk into so many public buildings past all the employees standing outside having a cigarette. By the way, how come we don't see those same employees standing outside the door having a beer? It's okay to ban alcohol at work--a substance that has been proven to have benefits to us when used in moderation--but let's not keep cigarette smoke--a substance that is nothing but harmful from the first puff or second hand inhale--a practice done in the privacy of one's own home rather than exposing 82% of us to something we have chosen NOT to do.
