My father-in-law had the same policy for his employees. He told them that they were there to work, not smoke. They could smoke all they wanted on their lunch break, but that was it.

He also had a "no PMS" policy. Women would argue with him about not understanding, but he would tell them that he had a wife and three daughters and knew that there were products on the market to give women a bit of relief from PMS and would suggest that they use it. To be fair, he also let his male employees know that they had to leave their non-work related problems at home as well.
