Dear [Employee's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing in response to your recent complaint about smoking in the workplace. We take all employee concerns seriously and strive to maintain a healthy and comfortable working environment for everyone. Regarding your concerns about smoking, I would like to inform you that as per the state regulations of New Mexico, we are committed to complying with the New Mexico Smoke-Free Air Act. This act aims to protect employees and customers from the harmful effects of secondhand smoke. Since the enactment of this legislation, smoking is strictly prohibited within the office premises, including indoor areas, restrooms, hallways, and any other enclosed spaces. Designated smoking areas have been established outside the building where employees can smoke during their breaks without disrupting the smoke-free atmosphere inside. These designated areas are equipped with smoke receptacles to ensure proper disposal of cigarette butts. As an organization, we are dedicated to maintaining a healthy and safe work environment for all employees. To reinforce our commitment, we have implemented regular monitoring and reminders to ensure compliance with the smoking policy. Additionally, we have conducted extensive training sessions for employees to raise awareness about the dangers of smoking and the importance of adhering to the smoke-free policy. We appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention. Your concerns help us to continually enhance and enforce our policies. We understand that smoke annoyance can still occur if an employee chooses to smoke too close to the entrance or in areas where smoke may infiltrate the building. In such cases, we encourage employees to report any violations of the smoking policy to the Human Resources department, so appropriate action can be taken to address the issue promptly. We assure you that your complaint has been thoroughly reviewed, and we will continue to strive for an environment where all employees feel comfortable and their health is prioritized. If you have any further concerns or suggestions, we encourage you to discuss them with your supervisor, the HR department, or our Health and Safety Committee. We value your feedback and commitment to the well-being of our workplace. Once again, thank you for bringing this matter to our attention, and we assure you that your concerns will be taken seriously and addressed accordingly. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Title/Position] [Company Name] [Contact Information]
