End mail exposure to cigarette smoke

The Issue

Recent research into 3rd hand smoke has shown toxins remain on exposed surfaces long after the infecting cigarette has been finished. With these lasting effects, why does the USPS still allow workers to expose our packages to this danger?

Many modern businesses have a smoking policy that guides people to an acceptable outside location. I understand that smoking in the mail vehicle is a great way for the person to avoid harsh weather, but the focus of today's rules is on general health and safety, not the individual offender's comfort.
