sorry nope. try again. the company is located in the sue happy state of California. The company is over 80 years old.
It's a private company. It's not discrimination, it's like a dress code, you either comply or you find employment elsewhere. and before you were employed you would have known about the policy it's not like it just happened overnight.
What's so hard about that?
And if you want to sue, you go right ahead, companies like to deep pocket little guys just like you. I see it happen ALL the time.
Since you don't seem to understand what discrimination laws are concerning employment, please allow me to enlighten you.

Employment Discrimination laws seek to prevent discrimination based on race, sex, religion, national origin, physical disability, and age by employers. There is also a growing body of law preventing or occasionally justifying employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. Discriminatory practices include bias in hiring, promotion, job assignment, termination, compensation, and various types of harassment. The main body of employment discrimination laws is composed of federal and state statutes. The United States Constitution and some state constitutions provide additional protection where the employer is a governmental body or the government has taken significant steps to foster the discriminatory practice of the employer.

sorry I see nothing in regards to smoker vs. non smoker, eating unhealthy foods, fatasses, and stupid people.
