No smoking at home

London - A Berlin publishing house says its workers are not allowed to smoke - not even at home.
All 13 employees of Eitmann-Verlag have signed an affidavit in which they confirm they don't smoke at all.
"We want to send a signal to protect non-smokers," business manager Frank Woeckel told Bild newspaper.
"The books we publish deal with the environment, health and the dangers of second-hand smoking. Smoking employees don't go with this."
Mr Woeckel says the clause isn't just restricted to work hours.
"They can't smoke in their free time, either, that would be a breach of contract," he told the paper.
"All we want is employees who support what we do." - Ananova.com
