That sounds about right to me. Smoking is not good for you, but that really is almost besides the point.
If these health nuts are so keen on having super healthy workers, there's other things that could be addressed. How about cleaning up that urban smog. Stop putting mercury and crude oil in the ocean so I can eat tuna with some peace of mind. Have a 24\7 team of nutritionist\chefs to cook workers healthy and tasty meals. Have friendly and trustworthy robot nannies to care of the young ones so female workers can be more productive. Actually scratch that, replace organic female workers with sexy femmebots.
And most of all, develop a robust selection program for human breeding to boost superior genetic traits and suppress or eliminate undesirable ones. The result would be a brilliant, strong, and healthy worker! You know kind of like this guy who I'm sure would make 'Employee of the Month' in some lucky office somewhere. http://www.bovil.com/gallery/HOF/09_khan
