How about firing you for having cigarettes in your car?

I would submit that an employer can set any rules they like (so long as they don't discriminate based on gender/race/religion, violate laws, etc.), and fire you if you fail to meet the rules. Cigarette smoking included.

Then you should have no objection to getting to the law changed to add firearms ownership/possession to the gender/race etc.

The man who owns the company that I work for has banned all cigarette smoking on his property, if you want to have a smoke during your breaks, you have to physically leave the grounds.

Stated company policy is that cigarette smoking anywhere on the property can get you fired.
