I used to have a sign that said "drugs don't work here". That includes tobacco.

No coffee pot or soda machine either, I presume?? And all of your employees are 100% teatotalers also??? And none ever eat chocolate, or tomatoes or eggplant? After all, alcohol and caffeine are as much drugs as nicotine.

Personally for me, I do not indulge. The sign referenced illegal drugs. Our clients require us to sometimes be onsite, because their environment is industrial in nature and hazardous their and our insurance carriers do require random drug screenings. The twice yearly surprise screenings help to keep our insurance premiums low. I am proud to say that in the last 14 years of drug screening we have screened we have never had a positive drug test for an employee.
Since all of our positions require at least a 4 year degree, we have a smaller pool of drug\tobacco users to screen out during the screening and interviewing process.

But we do allow coffee and we do have a coffee maker, I don't care for it myself. I do not each chocolate, or drink caffeinated drinks. We are primarily concerned with addictive and illegal drugs. User's of both demonstrate certain personality and judgmental traits that myself and the partners agree are not compatible with our firm.
