I understand the concerns you have raised and the impact it has on your health and well-being. Our company, [Company Name], values the health and safety of our employees, and we are committed to maintaining a smoke-free environment. First and foremost, I want to assure you that smoking is strictly prohibited within our premises, in alignment with the laws and regulations set forth by the state of Hawaii. This means that smoking is prohibited not only indoors but also in all outdoor areas designated as company property. We have designated smoking areas outside the building where employees who smoke may do so without affecting others. In addition to complying with state regulations, we also strive to create a healthy work environment for all employees. Therefore, we have implemented several measures to further minimize the impact of smoking on non-smokers. These measures include: 1. Employee Education: We provide regular training sessions to educate all employees about the hazards of smoking and the importance of maintaining a smoke-free workplace. We believe that knowledge is key in encouraging respectful behavior and mutual understanding among all staff members. 2. No-Smoking Policy: Our company policy explicitly states that smoking is prohibited within the premises, including all outdoor areas. As an employee, you have the right to report any instances where this policy is violated, and appropriate action will be taken against the violators. 3. Proper Ventilation: Our building is equipped with state-of-the-art ventilation systems that effectively filter and remove any residual smoke, ensuring that the air quality remains high and free from contamination. 4. Open Communication Channels: We encourage employees to report any smoking-related concerns promptly. By doing so, we can take immediate action to address the issue and ensure a harmonious work environment for all. We understand that even with these measures in place, you may still be exposed to secondhand smoke outside the designated smoking areas. We empathize with your situation and will do our best to find a suitable resolution. If you have any specific suggestions on how we can further improve our current policies, we are more than willing to consider them. Please be assured that we take your complaint seriously and are committed to ensuring your health and well-being. If you have any further concerns or require any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or our Human Resources department.
