Our company is having mandatory blood tests and if nicotine is detected, you must attend smoking cessation or lose insurance. And if you don’t quit, you lose insurance.

Question: Does your company provide benefits for homosexual 'partners' of employees?

My company has already gone down the road of charging more for insurance to those employees that smoke, at the same time extending benefits to homosexual 'partners'.

Now they are starting down the path of getting ready to charge more for employees who are over some specified weight - yet they haven't revoked the benefits for homosexual 'partners'.

It all depends on what is politically correct to pick on.

They'd detect nicotine in my blood stream, even tho I don't smoke. I use nicotine gun, or lozengers and sometimes even the patch. And I'll do it forever if I have too.

I'm not sure what your company is doing is legal?
