Is it ok to smoke in or around a company’s area? Let’s look at the case from a different angle and go with the fact that smoking is permissible and of a person’s free will. As a manager, I believe it is my responsibility to always look after the health and welfare of employees. Smoking is injurious and dangerous for the health.
