That's an interesting issue :) Do you have a general 'no smoking'
policy in your space, or does it depend on the substance? Or no
policy at all?<br>
<br>
I'm genuinely curious -- our province is very anti-smoking, and in
our region it's practically banned in all public spaces and
businesses. Even if we weren't required to be smoke-free, we'd
probably be anyway, if anything but for the mess it can create.
We're not so good at the whole consistent cleaning thing ;)<br>

<div>Our policy is like most of the "common sense" policies
here. You are responsible for your own safety, and not
creating a dangerous situation for others. If your use of
alcohol or marijuana causes one of those situations, then you
may be asked to stop. So far our members have shown good
general responsibility, and only once or twice has someone had
to suggest "maybe try some nice painting instead of using the
chop saw today..."</div>

We tend to err on 'don't restrict
unless it become a serious problem',
in this case we have alcohol at our
space, and members BYOB. Sometimes
there's leftover booze from parties
and other events. It hasn't caused a
problem so far.<br>
<br>
Our Health and Safety policy is
common-sense and due-diligence
based. We provide safety gear,
procedures and training for specific
tools (like a laser cutter or cnc
router), but otherwise you're on
your own. If you hurt yourself using
power tools after 10 beers, it's
your own damn fault. <br>
<br>
Additionally, a member can be asked
to leave, faces suspension or even
termination for irresponsible and
dangerous behavior that goes against
the H&S policy.<span><font
