Breathtaking amount of ignorance in these comments. EI has never and will never cover voluntarily leaving a position. Don't want to meet basic sanitary requirements? You're free to leave.

Please don’t smoke then, as second hand smoke affects us not addicted to nicotine, when you are standing outside of a shop and I have to walk by past you

Good point. I would be in favor of a similar law regarding smoking as regarding being unvaccinated. You are free to smoke/be unvaccinated outside or in your home, but if you wish to enter an establishment or work in an enclosed space, you must not smoke/be unvaccinated.

Not smoke at all when at work, because otherwise you are going to take smoking breaks „outside” but actually positioned in such a way next to an open door that the air flow will pull the smoke towards inside and I will still smell it

I don't know where you live, but we have designated smoking areas and bylaws that prohibit smoking entrances. I'm glad we're on the same page now.

If your workplace has banned smoking and you get fired because you refuse to stop smoking there, you're not getting EI.

IE is there to protect you from loss of employment through no fault of your own. Always has been.
