Cigarette Company Finally Bans Workers From Smoking At Their Desks:

No butts about it.

Like they say in Tim Buck Too; ain’t this a kick in the dromedary hump.

The maker of Camel cigarettes Reynolds American Inc. is finally putting out the smoking lamp in its offices and buildings.

The nation’s second-biggest tobacco company informed employees Wednesday that beginning next year, the use of traditional cigarettes, cigars or pipes will no longer be permitted at employee desks or offices, conference rooms, hallways and elevators. Lighting up already is prohibited on factory floors and in cafeterias and fitness centers.

“We believe it’s the right thing to do and the right time to do it because updating our tobacco use policies will better accommodate both non-smokers and smokers who work in and visit our facilities,” Howard said. “We’re just better aligning our tobacco use policies with the realities of what you’re seeing in society today.”

I would think it is about time the light bulb went off in Mr. Howard’s cranium.

After all of the years of bold face lying and insistence that smoking was not bad for a person health, the tobacco giant finally capitulated and turned off the smoking lamp in all of their facilities. How about those cigarette butts?

I hope this is contagious. Optimistically the day of  revelations will surface when most of the politicians will admit they are over-paid, under-worked and useless.

“THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE”
