Army Tightens Smoking Policy Across Army Offices
The Army will ban smoking in most offices bases and vehicles effective July 7, allowing local commanders to extend restrictions. The directive aims to make non smoking the norm in Army occupied spaces and to reduce health costs and illness among 781,000 soldiers and 450,000 civilian employees. Supervisors may designate smoking areas only if second hand smoke can be isolated to protect non smokers.
