I don't think that is going to hold up in court... should be fun to watch though.

Can't the workers claim "addiction" and sue the company? If nothing else, they should be grandfathered in. Or the company should offer quitting aides (gum/patch/lung removal surgery)

I'm just saying, everyone's always up in arms about how it's an addiction and tobacco companies are evil etc. etc. and those people are usually the same ones that say smoking is the reason health care costs keep rising. (Even though smokers DIE much sooner than people who live to be old age and need regular doctor visits, medication, hip replacements etc. for another 30 years.) So it seems to me that someone somewhere is being rather hypocritical.

I think that insurance companies should just say "From now on, if you have emphyzema, lung cancer, athsma etc. and you have nicotine in your blood stream, then we won't pay and you can now die."

That might make people quit smoking.

blah blah blah.

Happy Wednesday.
