Abstract:

Some people smoke in the workplace; others don't. Some employers allow it--others restrict it. Evidence suggests that both groups are harmed by the smoke to some extent. This bulletin reviews existing law on this subject from North Carolina and elsewhere, weighs possible areas of future liability, and concludes that the prudent employer may now wish to consider some restrictions.
