In Delaware all must comply with the no-smoking indoors law that is actually even stricter than California's law - however an employer still has the right to hire only smokers if he/she so desires.

Years back, when I was still fighting in favor of a law to prevent employers from discriminating against hiring/firing for outside of work legal activities I collected a huge folder of help wanted ads that stated "Smokers need not apply" or "only non-smokers need apply."

It still remains legal to do so in Delaware, just as it would be equally as legal to place an ad stating "Smokers only need apply."

I have since changed my stance on that type of legislation - the government needs to stay out of it altogether.

Are you suggesting that if an owner there advertised "Smokers Only", smoking would be allowed in his office?

What is the rest of the building or other people on the block complained?
