In preparation of the forthcoming legislation, we are considering a total ban on smoking on the company's premises, and banning cigarette breaks during working hours.


Has anyone else introduced such a strict policy, and how was it implemented (and received)?


Thanks in advance


Joe

Hi, I have just read your post from November and wondered what action you took in the end.


Thanks.

We decided to adhere to the statutory minimum in the end. Whilst longer term we will be looking at introducing a total ban, it was felt in the short term it was too draconian a policy to adopt.

If you are planning to implement something similar, I would be interested to hear how you get on 


Thanks

Hmm, I'll be interested to hear what happens if you do decide to do a complete ban in the future!
