Sherry Pressick, Manager Manager of Mahar Shoes, King Street, Bowmanville, said of the law: "It's good for me. I don't smoke.

The manager manager stated that she wished everyone would stop smoking. smoking. But she adds, "What the heck - people have to have their habits." Doris Roughleÿ, of Sid Chartran's Men's Wear Ltd., said that her customers were allowed to smoke if they wished to do so. But she added that "nobody comes in here any more with a cigarette."

Calls like this on the part of most owners of small businesses will have to be a matter of personal conscience conscience and judgement. The fact that it could cost them a customer if they ask a customer to Tiutt-out" will make it hard for them to do so, even if they, personally would prefer customers not to smoke. Betty Ann Wheelock, of Norm's Delicatessen, says smoking was never allowed in the store. Both she, and owner Norm, do not smoke. And, they have no qualms about asking people to extinguish extinguish their cigarettes when they come in smoking. Ruth, of Ruthie's Nail Care Centre, said that the law has made "no change" to her business. "Customers who want to smoke do so, those who don't - don't." Family Trust Real Estate Agent, Aline Gagnon, said that "Those who smoke have a ventilated room in which to do so. Clients are interviewed interviewed in a separate room from the main office and are separated from the rest of the office workers." Goodyear .Canada has provided two locations with in the plant for smoking. "One is in a separate, ventilated ventilated room off the main plant cafeteria, and the other other is in the engineer's basement basement cafeteria. The office staff use a separate room on the office floor which is also ventilated," said Marlene Lux ton, receptionist, and non-smoker, who graciously provided us with this insight as to how one large corporation corporation is handling the issue. Another corporation, Dennison Manufacturing Canada Ltd., has provided one large well-ventilated and furnished room for all smokers in the building. Ashit Dutta, a Dennison employee employee who also worked on the plan for the smoking room at the Base Line Rd. plant, says that "there is a room provided for all smokers smokers in which they can bring a drink or snack from the cafeteria if they choose to and have a cigarette along with it." Smoking is not allowed allowed in any other part of the factory. The Statesman has opted to invoke its right to declare all the work-space as a smoke-free area.
