There is some justification for smoking to be banned during working hours by some employers for some jobs. But this is not a call for the state or national government to make.

How the **** will they know if someone smokes?
Make them take a cotinine test?
Those are easy to pass,just like all other drug tests are.
Oz is a moron.

This all started when medical insurance got tied in with employment. People demanded employers cover their employees. Drug testing came along. Now workplace drug tests to determine your rates.
Big gov advocates demanded this. You asked for this. You got it.

The blue states are the ones pushing this, stupid. Cali outlaws smoking in your own home, if you rent an apartment.

Lots of apartment buildings are smoke-free now.
Did you get the vax? No, you were not forced to get it.
Your victim mentality is laughable.

Actually, smoking rates fell after it was banned in restaurants.Neo » 10 Sep 2022, 9:44 am » wrote: ↑ Dumb position. Almost as dumb as banning menthol cigarettes to reduce black smoking rates.
Do, it’s a proven method to curb smoking.
You race baiters always fall back to that bcuz y’all are dumb as stumps.

Restaurants should have had the option to allow smoking. Smoking bans are unconstitutional government interference with private enterprise.Pastafarian » 10 Sep 2022, 11:24 am » wrote: ↑ Actually, smoking rates fell after it was banned in restaurants.

Not a deflection. You support government controlling minutiae like what legal behaviors a private business can allow. Thought America was about freedom?

If you are insured by a group policy, your individual premium will NOT likely be higher than others under the same policy. Normally rates for group policy are determined by the percentage of men and women in the group and the average age of members of the group.LincolnNebraska » 08 Sep 2022, 8:58 pm » wrote: ↑ This all started when medical insurance got tied in with employment.

They do not normally test workers to establish tobacco users. I have never heard of anyone doing this.
Some life insurance policies ask the applicant if he or she is a smoker, and they take their word for it.
But should the applicant later die of lung cancer and an autopsy reveals that he or she was a smoker, then the company might simply refuse to pay.
Can you name a single insurance company that tests applicants for tobacco use? I bet you cannot.

Second hand smoke is lethal to those around you.
Freedom to hurt others? I think not.

Others freely associate with smokers. Don't like abortion, don't have one. Don't like smoke, stay out of places that allow it. But no, you need the government all up in small businesses ***, usually at the behest of corporate interests.Pastafarian » 10 Sep 2022, 5:46 pm » wrote: ↑ Only when it affects the health of those around them.
