What type of work do you do and what kind of office is this? Do customers from the outside come in?

Does the owner also own the building?

If the owner does not own the building, do you know who does?

I work in the payday loan, check cashing business and we have MANY customer's coming in from outside. The owner does own the building. I really hate to lose my job over this, but there are a couple of heavy smokers in here and it is KILLING me!

You have a tough state - it will probably approve legal marijuana laws before it approves the the pending Mississippi Clean Indoor Air Act.

I'm trying to search venues for you.

Do you have any disabilities that you are directly impacted by this?
