Odorous smoker fired

A labor counselor doubts however that Stephanie Cannon will have much success with the legal system: “Your rights as a smoker end where someone else’s nose begins”.

Maybe get a job as a bartender?

Woman Fired Over Cigarette Smell

Wish we could get a guy at work fired for NOT taking a shower/bath !!!!!
However , since I quit smoking ( 3 packs of Camels(unfiltered) a day ) , I can well relate to the cigarette 'STINK"

“Your rights as a smoker end where someone else’s nose begins”.

Does the same apply to perfumes? Farts? People who heat with wood? Chronic bad breath? Mechanics who smell of carcinogenic oil products?

Quite a poor "rule" methinks.

That said, she works in a hospital in a cancer ward? What she was doing is akin to working at a rehab facility and always having coke in your mustache.

Is the odor considered second-hand smoke and carcinogenic?

**surreal** · July 28th, 2012, 02:48 PM

No it's considered stinky.

Can't smoke at all and be a hospital employee in these parts.

“Your rights as a smoker end where someone else’s nose begins”.

That's bull shit! I think she should go to the Labor Board.

Stinky may be offensive and a personal hygiene and health issue, but it's not illegal. But when you work for The Man they dictate HR "wellness" policy so I agree. Next stop, obesity. Can I become a Fat-Nazi and clear out the offices/cubicles of violaters?
