MY STORY

"Sometimes my hands would be so cold they'd be numb." —Dianne Thompson, Beaver Dam

How far would you go to work in a smoky environment?

Dianne says, "Most of the time, it always smelled like an ashtray when I went to work. Many times when I went to the office, it was really clouded with smoke. They had poor filtration in the office, so it was really impossible. So I kept my windows open." But even that didn't work, according to Dianne. "My clothes always smelled bad when I went home. My hair smelled bad. I mean I just always, I always just felt dirty when I would leave."

Dianne believes that's not right. She believes that smoke in the workplace does not create a successful working environment for employees, and that people who work simply should not have to be exposed to secondhand smoke.
