How does your workplace enforce no smoking indoors, and how successful have they been at doing this?
I've just had to send an email to the building management of the building of which my employer is one of the tenants, to remind them that a door separating one of the indoor cafes from an outdoor smoking area really needs to be kept closed. It's not the first time I've had to mention this to them, and it gets frustrating that they don't appear to take it seriously.
There is also a smoking problem in the ground-level carpark, which I walk through twice a day because the bicycle cage is down there. Again, the building management don't enforce no smoking in there rigorously enough. It's illegal by Victorian State law for any building owners to allow smoking indoors, unless they've applied for and been granted an exemption, e.g. for a dedicated smoking area of some kind. My building definitely has no such exemption for its carpark, so they're obliged to prevent people smoking in this carpark.
Note: I'm not trying to start any debate about the pros and cons of smoking, only about prevention of smoking indoors, and keeping areas smoke free when they're meant to be smoke free.
