Reply #81: But when you use your home for business

[calico1]

purposes you cannot act exactly as if you were just using it as your home. Aside from having to comply with certain zoning laws, codes,permits and whatever else you need to get permission to open for business your behavior should also reflect that it's your place of business. If you had a home business would you have customers over while you were in your underwear? Or be drinking beer or cocktails? There is a certain trade off to having your business in your home and part of it is you can't always act exactly as if you were just hanging out at home. Since a lot of people do not like to be exposed to second hand smoke I also think it would be bad business to light up in front of customers, at least not without asking if it's okay. Sure, a person could say if their customers don't like their smoking tought and they can go to hell. But I think they'd be shooting themselves in the foot with that attitude.
