Actually, I didn't pee here. I peed in the toilet in my upstairs bathroom which is two floors above my computer desk :)

OK, too much information Beverly.

I'm not disagreeing with your statement at all. Of course if I'm losing business due to complaints I'll change things. My business is my livelihood. The point is: It should be MY decision!
2 years ago WCB legislated smoking rooms in bars. So I built one. A large room with excellent ventilation to the roof. Smokers had their own space; non-smokers had theirs. (Employees did not have to enter the room). No complaints. Everyone happy. Now that the smokers are forced outside, the non-smokers are complaining having to walk around them to enter or exit the building. I can't stop people from smoking on the street; it's not my property. So what do I have now? Now I have unhappy smokers and unhappy non-smokers. If the smoking room is set up properly, I see absolutely nothing wrong with providing one.
Anyhow, I've said my piece. I'll leave it at that, and we'll just agree to disagree.

I understand your frustration, I personally thought the so called smoking rooms were a joke in most cases. Didn't cover up much at all. It was IMO a joke that WCB tried to impose this rule on a lot of companies. The smoking rooms/area's didnt work in most cases anyway. I do understand when you spend 10k or more on ventilation etc for a room you can no longer use how pi**ed off you would be. Agree to disagree...Sure. IMO they should have just banned it entirely in workplaces a few years ago. I will also point out that in California and several other states they banned smoking in the workplce outright...Griping..sure but down the road people adjusted fine...
