Clarification on smoking policy: FTC Publications, Inc. is a smoke-free workplace. Full time employees are required to be non-smokers. This keeps health insurance costs under control as nicotine has been proven to cause death, and results in increased costs to provide health insurance to the full-time employee base.
Misleading and/or lying to your Supervisor about your status as a smoker is cause for immediate termination. Full-time employees who need help with cessation may approach their supervisors without risk of losing their job.
Smoking is defined as using any apparatus, electronic or otherwise that allows a person to inhale smoke (regardless of source) into their lungs and exhaling the smoke out of their lungs (without regard to the brand or apparatus that facilitates this function).
Inhaling water vapor does not constitute smoking, however inhaling nicotine violates the Company’s smoke free policy.
