Study: 45% Of Food-Service Workers Smoke

If 45% of Food-Service workers smoke, that means that the service workers are going out for a smoke while working, then breathing the toxins from their lungs and mouths onto the food that they are preparing and serving. Is that a wise idea? Want some nicotine with your salad or cadmium with your burger???

Many of your foods have nicotine in them. The EPA allows 700 times the amount of arsenic found in one cigarette in one glass of drinking water. You breath 33 pounds of pollution a day from cars or 6 tons a year. Do you really want to breath the air or drink the water or eat the food that is now genetically modified.

You worry about someone smoking outdoors...and not about the meat addicts carcinogen of choice that is spewed in huge volumes indoors?

Take a good look at what is actually in meat smoke. Do you enjoy diazinon with your burgers?

Perhaps you might tell us just what the "safe level" of meat smoke is?

We should be worried about the phlegm from smokers cough. As we go smoke free, though, this should be less of a problem as smokers seek out those jobs that still allow smoking such as riding on the back of a garbage truck and emptying the garbage cans.$10 an hour and all you can eat should appeal to these smokers. That way they could smoke and STILL feed their kids.

If they are old enough to work they are adult enough to making the smoking and not smoking decision for themselves.

Did you know that quitting smoking has killed many smokers.

It is amazing what crap you will actually believe. Believe in anything as long as you can continue to smoke.

It means "the workers" argument for smoking bans is a bunch of bull right along with the SHS fallacies.

However, normal people all knew those things already.

Not as amazing as the crap that you post. I have yet to read anything by you that does not degrade or attempt to humiliate smokers or or those that agree with smokers rights. You are nothing more than a troll.

I have seen it for my self many many times, even before smoking bans and high taxes. My Dad was one of them. Yes I can post links that back me up. Seen many who have had a very bad case of the flu after 3 weeks of quitting and almost died that never was sick before. This just one thing people are not told. This I know to be true from experience. It is not from seeing one person but several hundred.
