Nothing wrong when on their property, but when on your own time off company property? If the Constitution "allows" you to abort a baby becuase of your right to privacy, it should certainly allow you to smoke a legal product on your own time off corporate property. Right?

The Constitution does not protect you from actions by a private party. Your employer can fire you for having an abortion, for example.

That is extreme. In which case, if I was a smoker and didn't want to give it up, I would leave the company.

Employees can't expect their places of employment to be democracies. Well, unless they're liberals.
