She should have been asked in the interview whether she smoked or not.

Actually, there is a genetic pre-disposition of some people to smoke. Much like the "gay" gene, she is bound by her genetic predisposition to engage in an unhealthy behavior.
She should get the ACLU to help her out. Smoking is not wrong, it is an alternative way of breathing. She is a victim. She needs understanding. They are smokophobic.
Oh yea... < /sarc >

Would the company be able to fire or not hire persons who engage in anal sex?
To: Millee
Sorry smokers... SMOKING/SMOKERS are not a "protected class" under the law.. IT is not illegal, at least under federal law to turn away someone because they smoke.
To: Millee
She should have been asked in the interview whether she smoked or not. Whats the difference whether the descimination occurred during the interview, or after her hiring?

The homosexual lifestyle is much more unhealthy than smoking 10 cigs a day...wonder if a company could do the exact same thing...

Tough stuff lady! You work at the pleasure of the employer, not the other way around. The employer told you "SEE YA, WOULDN'T WANNA BE YA!"

Probably if they're doing it on company time. Eeeuw.

She should have been asked in the interview whether she smoked or not.If told only non-smokers were to apply, she should not have applied. If you can't live with the rules, don't take the job.

I hear most smokers can quit anytime they want.
Maybe she should have just quit.

Yeah, I remember the HS rest rooms. But you know what I always wondered about? What did the girls do with the cigarette if a teacher walked in? In the boys room there were urinals and it was a simple matter to lay the butt down and since they had to catch you with the butt in your hand we never got caught (well, almost never).

This person needs to know that in Great Britain you have NO rights, and that you are a "Subject of the Crown". It is one the many downfalls of living(existing) in a Monarcy.

If told only non-smokers were to apply, she should not have applied. If you can't live with the rules, don't take the job. Non-homosexual only hiring? Non-religeous people only hiring? Non-alcohol consuming people only? Non-fast food eating people only? Non-fat people only? Non-perfume/cologne using people only? My tag line probably applies to you.

Tough stuff lady! You work at the pleasure of the employer, not the other way around. And how exactly would you react to being fired for being a Republican?

While I don't agree with the filing of lawsuit, I don't understand why a company would have such a policy. A policy against smoking on the premises or taking smoke breaks is understandable, but this? Pure lunacy.
