Lump me in with the others who think that an employer has no business dictating to its employees what legal activities they may engage in at home or on their own time.

I don't have a problem with them banning smoking from their premises and while on the clock, but I do have a problem with my employer telling me what I can or cannot do in my own time, especially when said activity is legal.

What surprises and frightens me is the number of people who are fine with it. This is largely due to the demonification of tobacco. We find it disgusting, even if it is legal, and therefore are perfectly fine with companies taking punitive action against employees who smoke. Which brings me to this:

Exactly. It's a "do it to them, just don't do it to me" attitude.
