That is exactly what I say when companies test for tobacco usage to use that as a reason not to hire someone or to terminate employment. The breeder is out from work far often than the smoker who may get a bronchitis in the Winter. Heck...most people get the flu once or twice during the year. The ciggie thing is just another way for the Corporate America to keep tabs on us and dictate how we live. I would love for the same jackasses to say how they will not hire a woman if her pee test comes back that she is pregnant. But, that would be a lawsuit waiting to happen.
