Well, isn't that special. At my former employer's, there were 2 cancers (not smoking related), an obesity (massive human being), a devastatingly ill newborn, pregnancies every year...none of the smokers are experiencing health problems. They might some day, but the competition for illnesses is fierce.

Not to mention all those parents who go or take their kids to the doctor over every twitch and sniffle. They're also culprits. They go because the visits are "free". Morons.

You know, although we read these stories where employers claim that smokers are costing their health care plans so much, where's the proof? I can't help but suspect that these plans to force smokers to quit or out of the company may be nothing more than mere busy-bodyism on the part of company owners, execs and HR people. You know how much some people feel it is their duty - natch, their right - to save us from ourselves.
