Smokers Need Not Apply

[CottonTop 11]

Because now it has moved into the private sector and if it catches on, could affect many more people. Should an employer have a right to dictate what you do in your own time to any extent other than, as Sibon pointed out, that you don't bring the smell of it to work?

Happened to be walking by a hospital yesterday and passed two nurses standing at the curbside smoking their heads off and both overweight

 

No doubt when their off their break they'll be handing out diet sheets and literature on the dangers of smoking to patients

That could be confusing for those wishing a ban.

I went for an interview with a US company in 2008 and the had a strict non smoking employee policy (Kalamazoo Reynolds)

 

I'm not sure where in the US they are based though.

Hitler would be proud.

 

To equate this with the third reich is just juvenile.

Addicts don't have any choice in the matter of the smell and addicts can't just ignore their addiction during working hours. No one is forced to smoke and no employer is forced to employ anyone who doesn't meet their criteria.
