I am very allergic to tobacco smell, and I get a severe headache if I inhale the same. My boss's cabin is very suffocating with tobacco smell. I am required to discuss important matters with him and need to go into his cabin a number of times in a day. If the boss smokes in the office, what can be the solution?

If you have good relationship with your boss, you politely tell him about this. Otherwise no othergo other than tolerating, dear friend.

Hi Anju,
If your boss is friendly, discuss the problem with him. If not, plan your work to reduce the number of times you visit his office. Communicate mostly through emails and the intercom. Your boss will likely notice this change over time. If he asks about it, you can easily explain the issue to him.
All the very best...

Solutions:
1. Ask your HR to stick a "No smoking" board in the company building. This gives an indirect message to everyone. If your boss is sensible, he will stop smoking in his office cabin.
2. Request your Safety officer to fix a smoke detector in your boss's cabin as part of safety measures.
3. Create a separate smoking zone outside the office area.

Every boss has a boss. A silent complaint anonymously to the big boss would do... ask your boss to quit smoking totally as smoking causes cancer and other health issues. Add a few points relating to your boss's health. Never stick a "no smoking" sticker without asking for permission unless you want to start office politics. Be polite when addressing the issue. Doing these kinds of things may result in no solution. Another approach could be when he is smoking and you have work in his cabin, enter his office with a handkerchief on your face. Act like you don't mind when the boss smokes but show him you are allergic to it, like sneezing when exiting his cabin or coughing. Show concern for your boss's health as well. This approach may be easier to implement.
