Alright, I'm pissed off at how people in this thread are making gross generalizations. So now if someone smokes, they're no longer a "person", they're a "smoker". And not just a person who enjoys smoking, but they're a "smoker" that represents every bad experience the person has had with someone who smokes.
As you could have guessed, I smoke. After reading this thread, I've learned that I'm a "smoker" who blows smoke in people's faces (never done it), smoke wherever the hell I feel like (I don't), and I'm not as productive at work as a nonsmoker(bullshit). Stereotype much? I also wear glasses. Are you now going to tell me I'm not as productive because I have to spend a couple seconds every now and then to clean them? I also have a working bladder and need to use the restroom every now and then. Would someone with small bladder need to be fired because they use the bathroom more than others? Give me a fucking break.
As for the company that's firing their employees that smoke, fuck them. I can't complain because it's their right to employ whomever they want as much as it's my right to smoke. But I do think it's absolutely stupid to tell their employees what they can and cannot do at home. I get the feeling the president would fuck over all his employees in the name of cutting costs and saving himself a few bucks.
