    No I am not a quitter, but a realist.
    Reporting the company he works for to an external agency will not make him popular at work with either his colleagues or employers.
    It is not ....Fine.... , I would get another job.

    It is a time of keep your head down and shut up while the storm passes, it is very nasty outside.

    Just my opinion mind, but you seem to be more bothered about it than your dad,

    He's a big lad and a grown up, let him sort it out himself.

    Oh just man up !!!!!! - what a tiny matter to get worked up about.

    Your Dad will come to no harm as he is and whichever reporting method he chooses (assuming he's daft enough to do so) he'll just make enemies.

    I'm confused as to why people are suggesting he should quit?!

    Should everyone quit their job if one law is being broken by a colleague??

    This is typical smoker attitude, that everyone else should move out of the way so they can practice their dirty habit.

    In such times where people are verbally abused for being on JSA, called scroungers and jobs are very scarce; is it wise to suggest quitting??!

    No it isnt, mostly smokers now are a lot more considerate. I personally never lit a cigarette in a restaurant or bar where other people were eating. You shouldnt generalise. I wondered how long it would be before someone came up with a pompous comment. How do you come up with the fact that is dirty, unhealthy, but not dirty.

    'People are abused for being on JSA'
    Where on earth are you getting these mindless ideas from.
    You must live among some very judgemental people if they are saying things like that, its rubbing off on you.



    Sounds as if youve been brainwashed
