Since your boss doesn't seem to be too concerned about your health problems, it should tell you something about him/her and walking the walk and talking the talk. Find out the employment standards office, as well as the health department and make a complaint. You also might complain to the Americans with Disability Act people. If your boss has a boss complain to him/her and if nothing is done , find another job. Your health is just as important as their's and they must make reasonable accomodation.

Maybe you should start lobbying along with your public health department for the same laws. Other than that, there is nothing you can do about it if your boss is a smoker, it's his company. You could suggest that he create a smoking room and ban smoking in any other area of the building.

If she does it in the first place she has no respect for anyone else in the office. I thought it was banned in public places? Check out your resources. Talk to your boss. Talking to her since she does not seem to care will do nothing but start a fire. And, don't have someone do it for you. That shows weakness and you want to be seen by your fellow co-workers as a strong asset. Did you think about bringing it up to your boss?

Talk to your boss.

However I was fortunate to have a boss who was hated smoking with a passion. He was willing to make our department a non-smoking area after we presented him with statistics showing that there were more non-smokers in the department than smokers. We also gave him a list of those of us who had health problems because of having to breathe second hand smoke. I too have asthma and am allergic to tobacco smoke.

What state are you in? I am a smoker but I dont usually smoke in front of non smokers. I think that is very inconsiderate of them, specially in your condition. Suggest your coworker to wear a handfree headset. That way, when she have the urge, at least she doesnt has to smoke indoor and can also answer the phone. If that doesnt work, the only thing you can do is put up with them by wearing a mask or find another job. sorry pal. I thought that smoking in the building is prohibited by law.

Open it up and drip some clorox on each cig and box them back up after they dry out. take them to work and substitue your pack for thiers when they are not looking. That should stop them.

If she's gotta answer the phones and that's why she props the door open..suggest answering them for her while she's gone. That could get you into trouble though because she could take advantage of you. I would look into state laws about cig smoke at work....this could be an OSHA thing especially if you're allergic...the only thing is you BETTER be able to back up your allergy if you call OSHA or start getting into legal stuff here. Good Luck...hope it helped a little bit. I'm a smoker, but I can't STAND cig smoke inside. I smoke outside my house and I defiantly couldn't stand it in the work place. I feel for you seriously and this is coming from a smoker. LOL i know it sucks, but unless the boss bands it there’s nothing you an do really….right now because you’re new.
