Smoking employees stay outside for smoking one
cigarette for around 10 minutes a day. Employers say: "we need to limit
the time of staying outside for smoking; because the employees already have a
30 minute lunch break and 30 minute tea break."
Eight companies have applied the company Meyer to start feasibility activities
for installation of smoking tracking system to their companies. Meyer installed
the first system in Turkish Airlines and will start the application in a plant
in Izmir. The companies are interested in the system as it gives the
opportunity to limit smoking breaks.
