Riley is a diabetic, smoke affects his circulatory system.

Diabetes? My mother died at 86 of a stroke from complications related to an operation. She had diabetes and smoked until she died.

This guy just doesn't like the smell of cigarette smoke and knows that that plea is a 0-0 defense.

Well, it's like peanuts will kill some people while other people live on peanuts. We have to be responsible for what we put into our body's. What's good for one isn't good for another, and all that jazz........

"The panel also concluded that (Riley's) supervisor made every attempt to locate a non-smoker to work with (Riley), but was unable to do so

That's impossible - smokers are in the minority - everyone knows that.

Sure tells me this particular town has it's collective heads screwed on properly.

I'm only an occasional smoker, but when I used to plow snow, I could go through a pack in a couple of hours. It's both stressful and tedious at the same time and cigarettes really help take the edge off.

He was assigned to work with an employee who smokes, but refused.

Riley left work without permission, according to the arbitration decision.

Many have been terminated for a much lesser work related offense.

It appears to me that Riley has other issues with work and is using smoking as a legal foundation to promote his underlying endeavors.
