I'm speechless. WHEN IS THIS INSANITY GOING TO END? When are people going to rise up and bring government to task for this abrogation of basic freedoms? What's next: refusing to hire the overweight or the diabetic or those who suffer depression? I am sick to death of this!

One more reason not to work for guvmint, I guess.
OTOH, if I ever work in anyone else's office again, I might take a pay cut just to work in a GUM-FREE environment. That would be worth something to me. To me, nothing's more rude than someone who can't chew with their mouth closed.

Oh, and I also find it outrageous that they may require people to take a test to determine that they're not smoking off hours. Absolutely unbelievable.

Fried food is next, salty snacks and meat products won't be far behind. These people won't quit until every business and taxpayer in this country are pouring billions into socialist front groups.
Imperial Courts...

What is really behind this is a contempt for individuality. People are cogs in a machine of social policy; not creative actors in this world. Patton smoked cigars and Einstien smoke cigarettes. They had an effect on the world. Socialist will use this trojan horse to take us in to a beehive.

Hear, hear.

Sitting here drinking my first cup and just had my first smoke...I may be silly, but I thought the rape of the tobacco companies in court and the extremely punitive AZ tobacco tax I have to pay...were supposed to cover the high cost of our health problems!
Then again, since I have only missed 2-3 days a year (on average) from work due to illness in my 40 years of working, and have been smoking for 43 years...maybe they owe me some money!

"It saves the taxpayers money in the long run, and hopefully it will save some lives," Mayor Glenn Sangiovanni said. "I think as an employer we have this right."
How does this save money and lives? The tax payer gets a possibly less qualified employee and the person that didn't get the job isn't going to stop smoking. DUH.

If they refused to hire people that used drugs, the ACLU would be all over this.
