       Employers must take sufficient steps to protect non-smoking employees from tobacco smoke or they might be faced with legal  (19)  , warns law firm Thomas, Sell & Passmore.
      Jill Thomas, an employment law specialist with the firm, quotes a recent  (20)   brought before the Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT). An employer’s failure to protect its employees against tobacco smoke  (21)   an employee to quit her job. Whilst working, the employee was  (22)   to work near four secretaries who smoked and the rooms of three solicitors who smoked cigarettes, cigars and a pipe. All doors were kept open to allow ventilation from smoking rooms. After a series of  (23)   from the plaintiff and fellow colleagues, the employer consulted staff and agreed that a smoking policy should be  (24)   up. However, the policy did not go  (25)   enough to solve the problem for the plaintiff. She was finally told either to  (26)   up with the smoke or leave, which she did.
