I known that quite a few police departments out here in California will not allow you to smoke on or off duty.
Buena Park Police Department (the city I live in.) "As a condition of employment, employees hired after January 1, 1987 shall refrain from smoking tobacco or any other non-tobacco substance at any time, whether on-duty or off-duty. Violations of this condition of employment shall be deemed good cause for dismissal." http://www.bppd.com/employ4.html At 02:28 PM 6/12/2003 -0400, you wrote: >That goes to far.
