hi all,
i wonder if someone has the same problem as i will describe here and tell me what the situation in other countries is and what could be the solutions. :?
the first problem i encountered when started working in video (post production of commercials) was that everyone smokes everywhere!
i used to work in a news agency as a photographer and was very irritated every day by this, and now again...
In Russia there are very few institutions or companies (mostly foreign) where smoking is allowed only outside the building or in a special smoking room.
In transport you can't smoke as well, but everywhere else people smoke which could really be a nightmare for a convinced non-smoker.
I do not mention that in a moment the hair and the clothes gets smoked through, which is itself not very pleasant, but with me it also tells on my ability to function well in various meanings (think, work, etc.) :evil:
don't tell me i have to put up with that or start smoking instead. i do not want it and i am not going to. Opening window or conditioners also do not help a lot when smoking people are everywhere. And asking people not to smoke means one has to do it every 2 minutes and of course is not a helpful and promising solution.
Anyway, i will appreciate your advice and comments. Sorry, my first post to the forum is so sullen but it is indeed a sore point.
