By the summer of 2007 England is set to be almost smoke-free, with a total ban on
smoking in all public places- and that includes those designated smoking rooms in the
office Does this spell the end of smoking feuds in the workplace?
Eleven per cent of non- smoking adults are exposed to tobacco smoke at work Approximately 700 people a year die from lung cancer or stroke because of passive smoking at work Bar and pub workers account for a large proportion of these statistics, but this is a problem for office workers too Smoking in the workplace has been a growing issue of contention for quite some time, becoming one of the most emotive and potentially damaging to office harmony and the biggest issue in the office rights' battle And now that
the non-smokers have won the battle with a total ban, what effect will this have in the
office?
Until the new law comes into being, employers can provide their workers with specifically designated smoking area within their office But not all offices are so
accommodating For those who send their smoking employees outside, the source of
friction- the fag break- remains, which can prove problematic for company productivity In
1996, one study estimated that lost productivity due to smoking was costing employers in Scotland more than £1.2 million per day, or £292 million per annum
