Your theory would pan out if we continue to "go along to get along"..There WILL come a time when tobacco is illegal.
Then what? Guess who is next? Yep. Alcohol. And after alcohol? Anyone wearing perfume. Then will be the apparel worn. How long one's hair is. No pets allowed anywhere. Once the tobacco users are dealt with, there has to be a replacement.
The day a company says what I do on my break is the day I see a lawyer.
See all the Lawyers you want. The place you work is private property. They can establish just about any legal rule they want. Your option is to follow the rules or quit ( or be fired).
By the way they can tell you what you can and can not talk about also.
For example.... a police officer stops you in your vehicle. He asks to see your licence and registration. He then comes back and then says he wants to search your car. When asked this question, most people when asked would not think twice of allowing the officer to search their car even though the cop is violating their 4th amendment right to not be subject to unreasonable searches and seizures.
This applies because the officer had no reason or probable cause to search.
Most people would allow their rights to be trampled because they "don't want the hassle" of sticking up for their rights.
My point is people are just too willing to let things go so they can be on their way. If this continues, we will live in a nation where at any time we could hear "your papers, please".
