Shaggar posted:smoking is the one thing you're legally allowed to discriminate against in about half of these united states and if someone tried hard enough they could probably win a lawsuit, since there are medical conditions/disabilities that make someone more likely to smoke, but who wants to try that hard to defend their right to smoke when literally everybody benefits from them quitting?

increasing the prices of cigarette packs to about $8-10 now did wonders for reducing the number of smokers. it's really rare that i see someone actively smoking outside and i'm glad of it.

What they present it as is "insurance costs x, if you don't smoke we give you a discount towards that" but we all know what that turns into eventually

my company hires smokers but they are not allowed to smoke anywhere near the building, even in the parking lot. they have to walk their rear end all the way to the curb so they can stand on the sidewalk. also they get hosed on insurance. but there is no testing because we aren't animals.
