Totally Smoke-Free Facility and Grounds?

My facility and entire property is going totally smoke-free on 1/1/06. There has been no smoking in the facility for years now. But now there is absolutely no smoking, even on the property. The little butt hut will be removed. I'm wondering how this is enforced with employees and visitors. Supposedly, employees aren't even permitted to smoke in their cars in the parking lot. I'm a non-smoker, so it doesn't bother me, but I'm wondering how the transition has gone in other areas?

My facility is doing this in a few months, and I'm all for it. I'm sick and tired of having to walk in and out of the building through a haze of smoke. Even on nice pleasant days, the door is clogged with smokers who should at least have the courtesy to move out of the doorway or sit on the benches provided nearby.

If I'm not allowed to have a beer at work, then your ciggie can wait until your shift is over too.....;)
