Tamika Seaton, spokeswoman for the city of Naples, said the city will have to explore language in its tobacco-free workplace policies to include all forms of cigarettes and other types of smoking — lighted or unlighted cigarettes.
“It is still a cigarette and the policy will still stand,” she said.
State law prohibits smoking in public buildings and sites but has allowed areas to be designated for smoking at the discretion of the person in charge. Effective Nov. 1, 2010, it is the city’s policy in Naples that smokers or tobacco users won’t be hired.
