Anti-Smoking Ordinances...What's your opinion?

It�s one thing for an employer to completely ban smoking from their premises. It is TOTALLY their right and something I applaud. However, what an employee does on their OWN time is their own business. Working in a smoke-free environment is NOT the same as having your employer dictate what you can or cannot do on your own time. An employer does NOT have a Big Brother right to test your urine or blood to try and discover what you�ve been doing on your day off. It�s a slippery slope and once your start down it, it has a tendency to snow ball. First it was testing employees for drugs, because we all know it would be impossible for supervisors to see for themselves if someone was so impaired they couldn�t do their job. Now it�s testing for nicotine, because of the employer�s touching concern for their employees� health, or is that touching concerns for their corporate wallet? What else are they checking? Are they checking to see if any of the female employees are pregnant, so they can be terminated before pregnancy costs surface? Will they start checking to see if all their employees are eating healthy? That�s certainly no different than testing for nicotine. Will you get fired from your job for supersizing those fries some day? If your employer is entitled to urine testing to determine your behavior, they should be entitled to follow you around on all your days off, just to be sure you won�t do anything they don�t like or don�t think is healthy. I guess it�s time for your boss to enforce that New Year�s resolution to get more exercise too. Miss your day at the gym? Too bad, you�re fired. Is it your employer�s business what you do 24/7? My privacy is sacred. It is nobody�s business what I do behind closed doors. It is certainly not an employer�s business to pry into anything I do off the job that is not job related. With that rant being spewed, these days I much prefer to frequent totally non-smoking venues. Though here in metro Atlanta, that�s not too hard to do as smoking has been pretty much banned from all indoor venues. However, I won�t spend my hard earned dollars with a business who believes it is their right to play Big Brother with their employees.

Still crying!!

Hang in there Greenette. The first week is the worst; that's why we call it Hell Week. It DOES get better. Really. Munching on raw carrots sticks took care of that hand/mouth action crave for me and was a good low calorie choice. Breathe deeply and just focus on getting through the next few minutes at a time. Do whatever it takes, just don't light a cigarette.
