They all are wearing oxygen mask, fill up the emergency room with smoking related distresses....etc...etc... Quoting: Juggalo Smoking should be illegal as it stinks, and causes 2nd and 3rd hand respiratory diseases to non-smokers. Also, non-smokers always have to foot the hospital bills because SMOKERs never ever have insurance, they spend all of their money on smokes You make a point, for some socialist nation - this is goddamn america. It's ok as long as they test the fat asses too for chocolate, French fries and bacon. and alcohol........don't forget addictive alcohol testing pfff that doesn't go far enough! if you do anything other then working sleeping fucking and eating (what the state sees fit for consumption), you will be euthanized.

I used to be one of those people, I'll be honest. I was smoking 2 packs a day but frowned upon pot, despite the fact I smoked it like crazy when I was younger. Now I use an ecig and in the last few weeks have started smoking pot once in awhile at night if I'm having trouble sleeping. haha ;) "Live each day like it's your last, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one is watching."

Anonymous Coward User ID: 46517801 United States 09/08/2013 10:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OMG, even drug testing for Nicotine Quoting: utoo 46476435 Not a smoker,but wow, isn't this America?... where you're supposed to have some limited freedom of choice? From ABC News... Smokers need not apply in one Florida county, which will soon require prospective job applicants to pass a nicotine test before starting work. The Board of County Commissioners in Flagler County, in northeast Florida, voted last month to require potential county employees to undergo testing for nicotine use and to pledge in a signed affidavit that they will remain tobacco-free throughout their employment. But the requirements have raised flags for a civil liberties group that said it is unconstitutional for the government to administer blanket tests for nicotine or drugs on any group of people. [link to gma.yahoo.com] , This is common practice and has been done for over 15 years. Employers don'twant to deal withy sstinky people, more likely to have drug and alcohol problems, that regardless of that, are a guarantee to have a higher cost to them for health insurance. Get out much? |

Saddletramp User ID: 812002 Puerto Rico 09/08/2013 10:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is because of Obamacare, the rates on smokers and overweight people are going to be absolutely prohibitive to employers.

Thats not the issue, smokers have always paid slightly larger premiums than nons. Its the fact of oblablacrap raising the rates so ridiculously high that the county cant handle it so theyre forced to do something like this and 'ban' smokers from employment.

They say reformed smokers are the most venomous anti-smoking protagonists, could be true as we know first hand just how disgusting a habit it is, how it wrecks your health and your wallet, how much better life is post cigarettes.

When I interview someone I am so turned off if they smell like smelly fucking cigarette smoke. They can take their stale smelling ass somewhere else, I can always find a legitimate reason not to hire someone who stinks of it. I'm not going to hire someone just so they can go outside once an hour to suck down a cigarette on MY dime. Non-smokers are more productive, friendlier, and just generally better employees because they don't throw little bitch tantrums that they blame on not getting their precious cigarette when needed. |
