What can you do? (Score: 2, Insightful) by nightsky30@pipedot.org on 2014-07-21 11:42 (#2KM) I've got a coworker that routinely takes smoke breaks outside at least twice a day, and every time he enters our lab he reeks of smoke. So, not only does he smell like an ash tray, but we are subjected to breathing in the harmful residual particles...great. They already make them smoke outside under a car port type shelter at least 100ft away from the office building entrance. How can you remove the residue from a smoker before they enter the building? I think we are all just subject to some degree of health degradation due to their unhealthy habit. Re: What can you do?

Americans smoke way less than Europeans though. There were times in Paris that everyone on every side of me - including young women way too young to smoke - were puffing away like smokestacks. I felt like I was slipping out of the zone of 'second hand smoke" and rapidly approaching "first hand smoke."
