That's like saying an asbestos mine doesn't have to worry about health and safety, cause it was an asbestos mine when the employee got hired.



I don't think that's a very good analogy. A better analogy would be if a worker hired onto an asbestos mine (with safety precautions in place), then later complained that asbestos is too dangerous to work around.

Your line of thinking would result in the closure of all dropzones.
TM: "You want me jump out of a plane?!? That's unsafe!"
DZO: "But that's what you got hired to do."
TM: "But my right to a safe and healthy workplace trumps all."



Excellent, so with smoking in a restaurant, what safety precautions are there in place for the staff?

Would they be allowed ot wear the same respirators as they wear in asbestos mines?

Or do you think a waitress might get fired if she showed up to work with one?

You're missing my point. I think people should have the right to sign up to work in a marginally unsafe environment, so long as the employer is upfront about the risks and safety measures.

I agree with you.

Just don't agree that second hand smoke is marginally unsafe.

I guess that's the rub. It looks like you're in good company, since smoking is slowly being outlawed everywhere.

Note: I don't smoke and never have, besides an occasional cigar.

Ummm...turtle soup involves a dead turtle. I think you are offering 'cream of turtle'...NOT the same.
I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.
