    As of December 31st, Smoking will no longer be permitted below the decks of Navy Submarines.

    No Smoking Policies effect more than just your workplace or business.  Even the United States Navy has been researching effects of secondhand smoke for their sailors. “This policy was initiated for the health of the sailors who choose not to smoke,” said Lt. Commander Mark Jones, spokesman for the Commander Naval Submarine Forces in Norfolk, Virginia. “It is unfair for them to be exposed to the unhealthy side effects of secondhand smoke.”  An estimated 35 to 40 percent of active duty submarine sailors smoke, a 2009 U.S. Navy study found.  View the full story on CNN.
