How about a NO TOBACCO policy on or in Company Property? That would be awesome to watch the Redshirts and Terminal mgrs. have to work without subjecting the rest of us to their nasty spit bottles. These spit bottles are everywhere and then you step in a wad of chaw that some slobbering moron dropped out of his mouth wherever he wants to drop it. Or, the clown that has to spit his tobacco out in the Urinal or drinking fountain. I find the smokeless tobacco much more offensive than smoking.

I don't use either but smokeless tobacco does not harm the health of others, I know some people are nasty and those people need to be dealt with on case by case basis but making a blanket policy of no tobacco use is just trying to retaliate to what people perceive as being done wrong... Taking away tobacco to those who use it in a clean way is just sour grapes from the smokers.
 
I love it when the T.M. calls a meeting and he stands there with the info release in one hand and his 20 oz. soda (spit) bottle in the other. And every 30 seconds or so has to spit in the bottle in front of a room full of people. What kind of example is this?

It's not pretty I am sure but he is only harming his own body and grossing others out.

Or when you go into dispatch at an unmentioned midwest hub and the dispatcher has a half full Pepsi bottle of spit. Be a man and swallow!!!!!!!

I don't like the way you think driver.. You pickin on me :)
 
I've Got It!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We smokers will chip in and get you all a bubble to crawl in, oh, that won't work. One of you chewers would probably spit on their bubble and then they would throw a hissie.
 
Tobacco users should always try to be clean as possible, I agree 110%. I chew but most around me don't even realize it.
But whining about a guy holding a spit bottle? C'mon... we work at a trucking company not country club or a health spa!
Man up or go get a job at the local beauty parlor.
 
Going after the smokers is easy. But, you can't get the stink out of a tractor. We had a driver that was a neat freak to the extreme, kept his tractor psychotically clean, but over the smell of air fresheners, the smell of smoke was there. If we never bid tractors, just kept what we had, this wouldn't be a problem as long as the guys sharing the truck smoked.

It's pretty simple. It's against policy, and they enforce whatever policy they wish to enforce. You can get HR involved. Might make your life miserable though.
