Louisiana Hospital To Ban Odor Of Smoke On Workers' Clothes

Christus St. Frances Cabrini Hospital in Alexandria will implement an anti-tobacco policy for its entire campus starting July 1 of next year, expanding the policy put in place two years ago for employees of the women's and children's areas.

The Town Talk reports the policy will prohibit the use of tobacco products by employees while on their shifts, including when they are on breaks. It also will not allow employees to work if their clothing smells like smoke.

How do you determine if you "smell" like smoke?
Very unenforcable rule!

its blatently obvious when someone smells like smoke, anon 6:41. i grew up my whole life smelling like smoke thanks to my parents. didn't realize just how much it stank until my first year of college when i returned home for thanksgiving break.

when i got pregnant with their first grandchild, i told them that unless they stopped smoking in their house, my child would never be allowed in their house. the immediately stopped smoking indoors. its been 5 years and its made a world of difference. i'll actually visit my parents at THEIR house now. even they notice when stuff stinks like smoke now. now if i could only get them to quit altogether...
