A rule adopted by the board that regulates the possession and use of tobacco products by department employees must provide that employees of the department are permitted to use tobacco products during work hours at times and locations designated by the board. In designating locations at which the use of tobacco products is permitted, the board shall designate locations that:
(1) are at a sufficient distance from a place at which employees regularly perform duties to ensure that no employee who abstains from the use of tobacco products is physically affected by the use of tobacco products at the location; and
(2) do not negatively affect the comfort or safety of any employee or inmate.
