I accidently found your site as I was looking for information on

unemployment benefits.  I am currently seeking new employment due to the

fact the President of the company I work for is a heavy smoker.  I feel

that my health has been affected in the workplace - present and past.  I

have an office job and I am not familiar with all the laws relating to

smoking in the workplace.  I feel that it is a no-win situation and must

move on as I have done in the past.  These are all privately owned small

companies and although I have voiced my opinion and requested better

ventilation, nothing has or will ever be done. I am a single mother who

cannot afford to be without a steady income but my health has to come

first.

It is a cause worth fighting.  Nobody has the right to pollute my air.

I have stopped going out to public places because I find there are still

too many smokers.  I won't go out with friends who smoke anymore, I

refuse to date a smoker.  It has become unbearable to me and very

uncomfortable to be around smokers.

I feel it is nothing but a weakness and insecurity that people have.
