Hospitals should ban hiring anyone that does not eat a government approved diet.
Smokers also pay a higher premium for life insurance.
Welcome to the new prohibition.
I volunteer at a hospital. There’s an inner open ait atriem , which is reserved for smokers. Hospital employees have their job unit on their scrubs. It is just bizarre to see RESPIRATORY THERAPISTS puffing away madly..
I worked at a large hospital for 20 years.It had a no smoking policy and,as a result,you'd see a few folks outside...summer or winter...smoking away.But at my hospital almost none of *my* coworkers smoked...it was mainly the lower echelon workers who did.
Thanks for the ping!
That's off the table now...
Obesity is now classified as a disease.
Not PC to differentiate weight ...don't even think about not hiring a 'diseased' obese person - that's discrimination.
;>)
Great post. There are surely more we can add to the list of ‘do not hire’. It’s become a real challenge to figure out how all these pieces are supposed to fall together.
Also, Civil Rights Violation in that Smokers are being treated Un-Equally under the 14th Amendment, which is yet ANOTHER violation of their civil rights.
After all, we can't discriminate against Sex Deviates (fags and dykes), but yet we can discriminate against Smokers?
How "fair" is this?
So they all should be charged more according to your standards.
So after you dissect everyone's lifestyle, who gets charged less?
And then there's the people who smell third hand smoke, triple charge them!
and it began with , we are just going to put this little warning label on the package.

What are they going to do with the sodomites?
Unfortunately, there are too few business/entrepreneurs vs. low-info voters to tell gov’t to PISS OFF.
This is the same that will happen w/ O’Care; when all the employers dump their coverage for the exchanges. And I will smile with glee on what they have allowed to happen to themselves....poor bastards.
Not go down this path? We’ve been down this path for quite a few years....licenses, taxes, regulations, fines, EEOC, OSHA, etc. Yeah, benefits were their fault...gov’t compounded the problem w/ 3rd party pay, tax benefits for employer. Just look at the smoking/carry bans, like gov’t OWNED the business to make choices FOR them!
At least re: hiring, the employer/business has EVERY right to whom they wish, and why. I, on the other had, have the ability to (not) patronize said business as well.
“,giving smokers fewer sick days.”

Huh? That makes absolutely no sense.

Cool! I broke several ribs in several places in my upper back last August and could not escape from the hospital for love nor money.
Although I hope nothing like that ever happens again, now I know about a possible escape mechanism.
These people are Nazis.
Nothing.
That is a socially-acceptable vice.
I remember when you could smoke in hospital rooms.
Last time I was in the hospital there was still a smoking area in the cafeteria area and I had a whole stable of smoking nurses who were more than happy to wheel me down for a smoke.
Some lifestyles are managed, some are allowed to thrive. There’s no logic to it as the homosexual lifestyle is as deadly as smoking.
