Question of the Week


Can I Stop a Co-Worker from Smoking in the Office?


There is a chain smoker who sits near me in the new office. According to Jewish law, am I allowed to ask him to stop smoking?

Amen to the answer you received. I quit smoking in my late 20's. It does smell. Of course, in the USA it's not allowed inside buildings. Our government gets into telling us what we can and cannot do these days.
You may have already handled this. I would ask, in a kind way, if they have another office you could occupy. If that isn't possible the Jewish law should be applied.
