flstf, if you read up in my earlier posts, I do see this as setting a dangerous precedent about a company trying to control what an employee does on his own time. It is a slippery slope issue and I wouldn't want it to be too broadly applied.
I did allow my comments to get slightly off-topic... from smokers at this one company being told they couldn't work there as smokers, to just general smoking vs. non-smoking debate. But having had problems with smokers' rudeness and vile habits on a daily basis (smoking directly outside the entrance to the hospital, grocery, or restaurant I am trying to enter, discarding cigarette butts on the roadside as if that weren't littering), I am all for anything that reduces the number of cigarette smokers out there. I know that there are lots of people who will disagree with me and say that I am being unfair to smokers. Too bad! Luckily, I am entitled to my opinion.
