Wow... these types of threads are always amazing to me.

I don't smoke.
I don't support smoking.
I think that the hospital has every right to deem their place of business as non smoking. Even the parking lot. It doesn't have to actually... it's illegal to smoke in hospitals in Arkansas. And they have every right to tell smokers that you get 15 minutes break every 2 hours... just like everybody else. No special breaks because you're a smoker.

But... come on...

Y'all are for people being fired because they smoke when they get home?
Y'all are for people being fired because they used a patch or gum to try and quit?

Will you be for it when they test for alcohol residual in blood? Probably so.

How about when they test for trans fats and fire you because you ate McDonalds on the way home yesterday?

How about when they run a test and fire you because you ate bacon for breakfast. This type of thing is precedent setting and it will come home to roost one day. They start the precedents with the "Yeah... I'm glad to see them get theirs" groups and then move your way.

It is said that the only way to ensure your freedoms is to fight for the freedoms of those you abhor the most. America has really lost any realization of what personal privacy is all about. And that, my friends, is what America is ALL about. So we've lost our sense of everything we've ever been about.

These things amaze me beyond belief.
