I always appreciate both your well considered thoughts.

Do you think the ADA could help these smokers who will get fired for smoking? I've written up a rough legal memo arguing that it does and I'd love your input.

I also appreciate your thoughts. :)

If you think it's worthwhile, would you please ping your list? I kind of thought, "just damn!" when the idea first came into my head today. :)

Is there some legal ping list around here?

There has already been, IIRC, a court decision that addiction to nicotine is a "disability" that must be accommodated. However, rest assured that any new court will bend over backwards not to reach that conclusion, which is within the definitions of the statute.
