The petition
This is a petition to make our workplace smoke-free. It will be given to our management on Valentine’s Day, February 14th. Please encourage your entire group to sign. We hope its outcome will be the gift of health for all.
Being healthy is about making smart choices. It involves controlling cravings for food, scheduling the time to be active and proactively managing stress. But some areas that affect our health are seemingly beyond our control. We often take for granted that the air we breathe will be good for us, but in some areas of our workplace, it’s not, and we can do something about it.
Smoking rooms are something of the past for good reasons. The American Cancer Society sums up the Surgeon General’s recommendation for a smoke free workplace:
“The Surgeon General has concluded that smoke-free workplace policies are the only effective way to do away with secondhand smoke exposure in the workplace. Separating smokers from non-smokers, cleaning the air, and ventilating the building cannot prevent exposure if people smoke inside the building. Aside from protecting non-smokers, workplace smoking restrictions may also encourage smokers who wish to quit or reduce their use of tobacco products.”
The reasons for not smoking are widely known. That is why other organizations such as General Mills, IBM, Target, and Lowe’s are part of a long list of companies that all protect their employees by providing smoke-free environments. Let’s add our company to that proud list.
Being smoke-free also matches our company’s image. The small environmental footprint of our new facilities should be matched by our employees’ commitment to keeping the air as free of pollutants as possible.
By signing this petition, you are expressing to our management your urging for them to make our workplace a smoke-free environment. Please urge your fellow employees to sign this as well.
Thank you!
