Most of us in the office have learned the hard way about mentioning anything about cigarettes to her. She gets extremely defensive and thinks that no way anyone could detect a smell when someone smokes outside in the breeze.
The fact is.....a nonsmoker can smell a smoker a mile away because it just clings to about every type of fabric or even plastic. When our coworker brings something to work in a plastic grocery bag, it smells like it has been sitting in a bar for a couple of days.
I know of no way around this offensive smell other than for everyone to quit and leave her as the sole employee. The company/manager can only insist that there be no smoking on company property and surely she can abide by this but no way can companies control what happens when we are at home or on our lunch hour. |
There are two girls who smoke and they can only do it outside the backdoor and just as they come in they spray themselves with that Febreze Air Effects so they do not smell like cigarettes seems to do a pretty good job. I am going to have DH start doing that when he comes in from his 2 smokes per day now.
