You'd probably love it there! Those people are working with sick children, so in that case it almost makes sense. But you'd be surprised how many doctors & nurses smoke, and cops too as I've recently discovered (sharing a parking lot/courtyard with the Sheriff's Dept now)... those are stressful jobs, ya know.

Look, it's nice for you that you don't smell like smoke and you don't notice others that do. But don't tell me or anyone else we don't have the right to complain.

When did I say you don't have the right to complain? I only said you don't have the right not to smell other people's odors, nor to dictate whether or not grown adults can smoke in designated areas. Complain away, although I'm not really sure what that would accomplish.

He did not work close to my cubicle, he just walked past it each morning and afternoon on his way home. There were other routes out the door, this was just the most direct route.

I explained the reason for the odor eater and asked what odors he couldn't handle, and he said 'all of them.' He filed a complaint against me (not the smokers).

End-of-story: An interoffice memo ordering all employees to stop wearing any kind of perfume, including such things a soap with an odor or hairspray. Nothing said to the smokers, however.

wow that is really screwy, obviously the boss is a smoker.
