It's total bullshit. We need to allow people to live their own lives. If that means smoking 2 packs a day and weighing 400 lbs that is a person's choice. All the employer should be looking at is how the person performs his job duties.

I beg to differ.
As a small business owner it's expensive to rehire and retrain someone. It can sometimes even bring a profitable business to closing.
It's a business owners prerogative to hire the best candidates, when the paper qualifications are the same, then the rest comes to play such as likeability, health, hobbies, interests...
