I don’t like smoking either, but it wouldn’t make me think a contractor was unprofessional. I recon many smokers cant see further than their addiction and wouldn’t think it unprofessional either.

 

I wouldn’t like it in my home but people smoking in the garden doesn’t bother me.

 

Drug policies notwithstanding, how do you stand legally telling employees what they can or can’t do outside their hours of employment? UK or US

Back in the day I would have been the take it man but these days I am too old and married.

 

It might not be a case of take it or leave it though. Can you legally stipulate what your employees can and can’t do in their own time?

 

America is the “home of the brave and the land of the FREE”, and positive discrimination, not forgetting the no win no fee lawyer so I was wondering if you can make that condition stick.

in my experience its better to have a clear boundary...allows zero leeway for bending of the rules.

 

in this case, no smoking period.

I smoke about three cigars a night after work,is that a no-no?
of course not.Smoking any time on the job or in my trucks is not allowed.....

Bu**er, I see where you are comming from Steve.

 

Would the equal opps brigade allow you to refuse an applicant on the basis of smoking? That would be an interesting thread.
