However, staff need to know that when they show up for work after smoking in their cars, they tend to reek and people, especially fresh post op people, are going to puke on them. I worked with nurses who sprayed their uniforms down with Febreze when they came into work so they didn't get puked on. It worked, too.
I also think they're going to have to clean up butts around exterior corners here and there around the campus. Smokers are addicted and are not going to work efficiently if they're Jonesing, so they might want to remove the restriction on e-cigs, at least, and have an exterior area designated for them.
I hate cigarette smoke, it makes me deathly sick and I'm delighted it has been banned inside the buildings. However, I, too, think since smoking is a legal adult activity, people who smoke still have some rights no matter how much any facility wants to bully them into quitting.
