The workplace laws on\u00a0smoking in the workplace are applicable to any workplace with more than five employees. However, there are some exceptions where California law on smoking at the workplace does not apply. Such places include\u00a0meeting and banquet rooms where food is served, designated lobby areas, warehouses greater than 100,000 square feet having and more than 20 employees, and truck cabs where all the employees smoke.<\/p>\n

The only place where smoking is allowed in any workplace is the designated room or area for smokers. An employer may not allow smoking in an enclosed workplace and should take the necessary steps to prevent the non-employees from smoking indoors.

For this to be allowed, the air must be directed outside using a fan and must not be circulated to the other parts of the building.<\/p>\n

Employers\u2019 Take on Non-Smokers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Provided there is a break for smokers, there must be enough breaks for the nonsmokers.<\/p>\n

The Employers\u2019 Take on Smokers\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are no required accommodations for smokers. Those employers with five or less than five employees can allow smoking in the designated smoking zones upon meeting these conditions:<\/p>\n
