Smoking or Non-Smoking?

[404Error]

This is going a little too far IMO. Where do you stand on the smoking issue?

snip:

A Michigan health care company overstepped the clear line between work-life and home-life this week when it fired four employees for refusing to submit to a "smoking test" that would determine if the employees were lighting up away from the office. The company, Okemos-based Weyco Inc., instituted a no-smoking policy in 2003, purportedly to save on the cost of health care benefits for its employees. The policy forbids employees from smoking both in the workplace, and at home. Weyco offered help to employees trying to quit and has said that 14 of its estimated 20 employees who smoked kicked the habit before the policy went into effect. Weyco has made an admirable effort to improve the health and lifespan of its employees, but in doing so has violated the personal freedom of its employees to indulge in whatever habits they choose during their off-hours.
