"Weyers gave his employees 15 months to quit smoking, and he offered assistance to help."
Well, if that's the case, I think it's a fair deal. However, had he suddenly made this decision, and expect employees who may have been smoking a pack a day for 20 years to just quit on the dime without patches or gum or anything, I think it would indeed be a conflict of rights.
But being that he did offer 15 months along with assistance in quitting, I think it's fair.

Right, and for those who were unable or unwilling to quit, they had 15 months notice to go find themselves employment elsewhere. Most people get two weeks (if that) to pack their stuff and get out the door.
