Cigarette smokers are a health risk. Smoking is nasty, filthy and disgusting.

Ditto for Pot, so why the difference in treatment?

But you can safely operate heavy equipment or drive a truck while smoking a cigarette.

You are a hazard with the same equipment while smoking a joint.

I smoke a premium cigar...about every three months..on avg.

Cigarette smokers are a health risk. Smoking is nasty, filthy and disgusting.

So is smoking marijuana. The difference is cigarette smoking doesn't get you high and impair your judgement. Smoking marijuana does.

It won't matter, just find another reason to not hire marijuana smokers. It's really simple: not hiring someone because you don't like the color of their hair, their being bald, or some other reason not covered by discrimination laws is easy and an employer cannot be legitimately sued for not hiring someone for a non-discriminatory reason.

"Not a cultural fit" for the company is the line my employer uses. Works every time.
