Well, I guess I'll open this can of worms...
If a business owner can refuse to hire smokers, I guess all bets are off.
I personally think it's not a good thing...where does it end?
Even though I agree with the employer on this one, as a smoker, I can definitely see your point, especially in light of the company I've heard about who is requiring their employees to quit or get fired. But then if that is going to apply to smokers it should also apply to overeaters and drinkers, as their habits are unhealthy also.

Unless the employer is allowed to determine the restrictions we will have the state designating who is allowed to work for whom.
Sorry, but you are too pretty to work as an engineer. The services industry needs pretty girls.
Hmmm company can tell girls to look like toothpicks but the threads about not having guns or smoking goes into the hundreds as to why they're wrong.
I'll put it to you in another way: If a casino priding itself on having attractive waitresses is forced to hire/keep those who do not make the cut, where does it end? Should you be forced to keep your attorney if he refuses to continue his education and is thus uninformed on current law?
