The Nazis can only be in control of our lives if we allow things like this to happen. Where is the outrage? Why isn't everyone outside that business protesting? Whether you smoke or not, why would you look away because it doesn't affect you? It soon will if allowed to gain momentum.

This isn't the only company with this policy. A Wall St. Journal article in December talked about this and how it's happening more often.

As a smoker, this appalls me. But I believe businesses should be able to hire and fire whomever they please for whatever reasons they want.

The apathy exhibited by the free marketers only encourages this kind of abuse by employers. They don't realize what kind of world they are handing down to their progeny (or don't care). This is short-sighted and idealistic, but they say it's not happening to me. Well jobs don't grow on trees and if you have a profession you love and ALL the employers come up with this nutty policy then maybe they will get it. And I'm an non-smoker BTW.

With rising health insurance costs, I can see more employer mandated edicts coming our way.

I would like to propose that we fire all state and federal legislators that drink, or smoke. And also fire the overweight, and anyone over the age of 68.

There, I feel better.....
