Is your establishment smoking or non? Designated areas for employees? Or outside urn only.

We took a survey about five years ago concerning smoking in our laundry. The results were 2 for and 200+ against.
Good Luck

All my mats are non smoking and I find the summer is the best time to convert to no smoking. I'm still alive Bubbles you can e-mail me at Jefflange2002@yahoo.com

I still allow smoking, as a good share of my customers still smoke. Hey, I'm in Ohio, the unhealthiest state in the nation. As far as smoking and non smoking sections - that's the same as having a non peeing section in the swimming pool. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We went non smoking five years ago. Several complaints. We have a seating area outside for smokers. Glad we did it.

smokers are used to be put outside to smoke now so it was easy going non smoking, which I did years ago. I have chairs and a big parking lot for them to toss the butts into. I tried the smoker urns but the homeless kept breaking into them to steal the butts, making more of a mess then just sweeping the lot everyday.

When I bought my store I told the old owner I planned to immediately go non-smoking. I was told that I would loose lots of customers if I did. Well many of the smokers thanked me, they said while they smoke they did not want their clean clothing smelling of smoke. Its a non-issue anymore as it is illegal to smoke in any indoor establishment in the state.

Are people still allowed to smoke inside stores? That's crazy /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

All smokers should be shot on site. Just think of all the money we could save from those long and expensive cancer treatments.

Actually facts prove the EXACT opposite. We should be thankful they smoke because on average they die much younger and cost the health care system much less as they typically don't make it to their 80's and 90's which is where the most money on expensive care is spent.

I read a study on the cost benifit analysis on the health care costs of smokers (usually dying early) vs non-smokers (living to old age). Its cheaper to care for the short term smokers vs non-smokers living much longer & therefore using more gov't resources for a longer time. I'll post the link if i can find it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Dale,
Smoking is one of society's methods for thinning the population along with teen driving and war.
My laundromat has been smoke free for a couple of years now. We have exterior seating with smoking urns available for customers who smoke.

Lol, Larry. It's funny how ashes always end up in an Urn.
