We Are Smoke-Free: Creating a Healthier Workspace

Currently, our entire workforce consists of non-smokers, and we are committed to maintaining a workspace free from the scent of tobacco. Consequently, we aim to cultivate a corporate environment that is thoroughly welcoming to non-smokers and those who prefer a smoke-free atmosphere.

As our team members are sensitive to tobacco odours, we seek future colleagues who are also non-smokers. If you are someone who requires a smoking break every few hours or finds it difficult to maintain focus without smoking, our working environment would not be a suitable fit for you.

Even if smoking occurs in outdoor public spaces rather than inside the office, the scent of tobacco remains noticeable upon returning to the workspace. For non-smokers, this odour is highly perceptible and often results in colleagues enduring discomfort in silence to maintain social harmony. This is a situation we strictly aim to avoid, as we prioritise a workspace where everyone can work comfortably without compromise.

In addition, the company maintains a clear work culture: office hours are dedicated to professional duties without distractions from personal matters. For individuals who require frequent smoking breaks, having to leave the building periodically results in additional downtime compared to colleagues who remain focused on their tasks. We view this as an inequitable distribution of working time. Furthermore, we have experienced instances where urgent project discussions or enquiries were delayed because a team member was away for a smoking break, causing unnecessary disruption to the workflow and colleagues.

While we acknowledge that smoking can provide a moment of reflection—allowing one to pause, deepen their thoughts, or shift their mindset after completing a task—we also understand the sensory experience it provides. The slowly burning ember, much like an hourglass, can offer a tangible sense of the passage of time and the transience of life, serving as an opportunity for introspection.

However, given that our team spends an average of eight hours a day at work, we prioritise focus and productivity within a workspace that promotes physical and mental well-being. We aim to provide an environment where everyone can work comfortably without enduring the discomfort of tobacco odours. We are committed to building a truly non-smoker-friendly environment; therefore, if you are a non-smoker who resonates with our values and vision, we welcome you to join us.
