There is no denying that smoking is bad for you, just as there is no denying that being overweight is bad for you. So then do we start mandating people stay fit. If you're 30 lbs overweight do you lose your job? While cancer is the main negative side effect from smoking, diabetes and heart disease are the main side effects from obesity. All these conditions are a burden on our health care system and on employers. Good find about employers requiring employees to stop smoking, but I think this is one of those “slippery slope” issues.
