Where should I report people smoking INDOOR?

[pcboy]

Hi, a friend of mine works at this clothes cleaner, he doesn't smoke, but his boss and another one of his coworker smoke inside the work place.

I think I read some where it is illegal to smoke inside a building or inside the workplace, but where can I go to report them for my friend, so that he doesn't suffer from second hand smoke?

i think it depend the store is in the mall or private building.

if it is a private building, you can not do much about it.

1)He has to take care of this not you.If this does bug him there are steps he can take.

2)Illegal is a strong word for this.All that happens is they get a small fine.

This only applies to a public work place.If this is a private place there is not alot that can be done.

I'd be more worried about the chemicals they use in dry cleaning.

It's not so much that he's snitching, but he's trying to get people in trouble and possibly lose their job/business without trying other alternatives first...

Has he even tried talking to them and kindly asking them to stop smoking inside?

I see tears flowing in a river...

Its the boss... he can do what ever he wants,
and if the guy snitch on the boss, hed probably gets fired.

I am sure there's something that can be done.

I used to work for a computer warehouse, and the boss and one of the senior staff just wouldn't stop smoking. One day, one of the cusotmer complaint to somebody, and my boss got fined. Ever since that incident, he and the other cowork always smoke OUTSIDE of the warehouse.

Tell your friend to grow a spine and deal with this himself. He should talk to his boss face to face and explain how much the smoke bothers him and ask if he can't smoke outside. The boss might say no, in which case your friend should either go to his boss, or if there is no higher boss, your friend should find another job.
Surely he can't make much at a dry cleaners. I imagine he could find another similar paying job within a week.
