The simple separation of smokers and nonsmokers within the same
air space may reduce, but does not eliminate, the exposure of nonsmokers
to environmental tobacco smoke.
Copies of this policy will be distributed to all employees, and "No
Smoking" signs will be posted at all building entrances and throughout
town-owned buildings.
This policy is being announced 45 days in advance of complete implementation
so that employees who smoke and would like to take this opportunity
to quit smoking may plan to do so. Information on the benefits of
quitting and available smoking cessation programs may be obtained
from the Health Department.
The success of this policy will depend upon the thoughtfulness, consideration
and cooperation of smokers and nonsmokers. Any problems with this
policy should be brought to the attention of the Town Executive.
