![]() By MICHAEL FELBERBAUM
From Associated Press October 22, 2014 RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Camel cigarette maker Reynolds American Inc. is snuffing out smoking in its offices and buildings. The nation's second-biggest tobacco company informed employees Wednesday that beginning next year, the use of traditional cigarettes, cigars or pipes will no longer be permitted at employee desks or offices, conference rooms, hallways and elevators. Lighting up already is prohibited on factory floors and in cafeterias and fitness centers. The no-smoking policy will go into effect once Reynolds builds indoor smoking areas for those still wanting to light up indoors, spokesman David Howard said. "We believe it's the right thing to do and the right time to do it because updating our tobacco use policies will better accommodate both non-smokers and smokers who work in and visit our facilities," Howard said. "We're just better aligning our tobacco use policies with the realities of what you're seeing in society today." While Reynolds will no longer allow smoking, it will allow the use of smokeless tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes, moist snuff and pouches of finely milled tobacco called snus (pronounced "snoose"). The company also will allow the use of Eclipse, a cigarette made by Reynolds that uses a carbon tip that heats tobacco after being lit by a lighter. First released in the mid-1990s, Eclipse is in limited distribution and one of the top-selling brands in the cafeteria at the company's Winston-Salem, North Carolina, headquarters. The percentage of Reynolds' 5,200 employees that smoke is in line with the smoking rate in the U.S. That is about 18 percent of adults, according to the federal Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Through its subsidiaries, Reynolds American also makes Pall Mall cigarettes, Grizzly smokeless tobacco and Vuse-branded electronic cigarettes. Altria Group Inc., the Richmond, Virginia-based owner of the nation's biggest cigarette maker, Philip Morris USA, doesn't allow smoking on factory floors and in places like elevators or hallways, said spokesman David Sylvia. Employees with separate offices can smoke in them, but otherwise the company has designated smoking areas in office buildings, conference areas and cafeterias, he said. ___ |

![]() Well, good thing it's a "scientific germ-safe wrapping". Because if there is one thing germs love, it's being set on fire.

![]() I wonder how they were able to get away with still allowing smoking indoors all of this time? I thought it was a national law that banned smoking at all indoor facilities. Hell, it seems so long ago that you could actually smoke inside of buildings. Now a days, they don't even allow you to smoke within like 30 feet of an entrance or exit of a building. I'm a smoker BTW. I roll my own now ( and not the funny ones, lol. ) But I used to smoke Camels, Pall Malls and started on Marlboros.

![]() When I was in elementary school back in the late 60s/early70s, our teacher used to chain smoke in our class.
It was normal...

![]() What one can really see, is that all advertising is aimed a suckers. It is easy for us now to laugh at how naive people used to be that they could be convinced by ads such as the one below, but the future generations will be laughing at our own naivete...
