Working in the workplace

Hello,

Ive got a problem. I work in a garage and most of the fella in the place smoke, this is fine there life, body and choice... However they are doing it indoors despite plenty signs tell them not too so. They are no windows in the place and its were we eat at lunchtime. I enjoy the job but there smoking is really doing my head in and probally lungs too. I have asked them to smoke outside but with no luck. What can i do to ge them to stop smoking indoors?

Start feeling yourself and look seductively at them.

I never liked the 'fight fire with fire' approach - strikes me as inadequate.
Start injecting heroin at work - that'll shake them.

Email or call your local councils environmental health department.
What they are doing is against the law and your employer should be enforcing it.
A visit from an EH officer with the threat of court action should make them toe the line.

I thought it was a thread for all us non-civil servants to enjoy.

Get one of your mates to come round claiming to be from the Enviromental Health and hit them with a spot fine.
Repeat until you have enough to retire or they stop.
