Do you think that employers should be required to hire smokers?

Why not?  Smoking is legal.  Even if smoker's are forced outside for a 10 minute break in the morning then lunch then a 10 minute break in the afternoon, I would say this is fair.

Private business owner's can hire whomever they like.  Smokers or non.  That's why they are private businesses.

If my boss told me I couldn't own guns at home or go to the range on my free time I would tell him to kiss my ass. I'm not getting paid enough to give up what I enjoy doing in my free time. Maybe the employees that objected to the policy should re-evaluate their situation?

Your first comment contradicts your second.
