It's a skill most men pick up at puberty.

From other articles it appears that the term used is undergarments not underwear. They want employees dress more conservatively, show less skin below the neck and, if female, wear a bra.

It is really simple if a company is worried about if its employees smoke , wear underwear and everything else means they probably arent going to be around long. They should be more concerned about making some money to keep the company growing. Sounds like HR departments were looking for things to do.
Dont work at this CRAZY Place and get another job if you see the company is loosing its focus and trying to "better its employees" via nanny state ideas. Some jobs require you to wear a suit to work.. you accept the job that is the rule if you want to wear jeans all day get another job that lets you do that.

I wouldn't hire people who dressed like slobs. Clean and casual. Those are my rules. Not conservative. Just look like you took the time to attend to your hygiene. Pink mohawk ? fine..as long as it is clean. and no smoking. I like clean air. No smoke breaks. I will hire non smokers over a smoker any day. Smokers reek of cigarettes.

They wouldn't come into your home. They would pull up in a white utility truck and snap pictures, submit photos to management. Afterward they'd clock out, go home and smoke a joint.

Now city officials might crack down on employee tobacco use — both at work and during their personal time — by requiring them to quit smoking after one year.

City wants to nip tobacco use in the butt

No, If I run a business, I can tell you what you can do at home. You, of course, have the right to tell me to F off, and not work for me.

Thats freedom.

Christ, Brooksville is such a pigpath!
You think they could find something to better occupy their time, and taxpayer $$$.
