No jobs for smokers

Awesome I love it now if more would just do it

My dad owns a contracting company. There is no smoking on the clock. Whether or not it is enforced at every job site is hard to tell. But there are some non-smoking foremen who absolutely enforce it.

i work for baylor. as well as not hiring smokers, the cost of insurance for smokers will go up more. granted, it's always been like that but i think the gap will be bigger.

this year we have to go to a health screening or turn in our physical info from a dr or there will be a surcharge of 25 per check for those who have baylor insurance

Pulled this off drudge, it's local, and interesting.

I think its fine. Its their choice to hire whoever I want, right? I could be talking out of my ass, but who's to say who they can, or cannot hire?

If I walked into a fried chicken place right outside of a black neighborhood, and they straight up said, "We won't hire you, because your white", I would simply apply somewhere else. Why work somewhere you're not welcome? To prove a point?

Some will say "What I do in the privacy of my own home, is my own business"
Well, if I own a company, and you're a fucking child molester in your own time, Fuck you, you're not working for me.
I'm not comparing smoking to child molestation, but its two things SOME people don't like.

Thoughts?
