This is hardly news. Many employers won't hire job candidates who smoke. And when larger companies buy out their smaller competitors, it's the smokers who get furloughed...

companies will now HAVE to expand the ban to pot smoking.

Imagine the liability for companies which do not ban employees who pot smoke.

I am surprised insurance companies have not stepped in and denied insurance to anyone who pot smokes (for auto insurance)

It’s become quite common with healthcare systems, in particular. This article is from a couple of years ago, so all the data may not be up to date:
