I just found this alarming article

Are we looking at this the wrong way?  The fact that it's a health benefits company doesn't make this more pallatable, it makes it a lot scarier.

I can imagine all kinds of scary future scenarios if this becomes common practice. The reason I didn't want to turn this into a debate about smoking is that smoking is not the only unhealthy thing people do, it's just the easiest to target. The "slippery slope" argument applies in full force here. If a company's accountants see that they can save boatloads of cash by not employing smokers, they might look into banning other "bad" habits. Soon enough we wouldn't have any personal choice whatsoever, at least if we wanted to remain employed. The precedent might be already set.

Thank you, but I like eating a big greasy breakfast on Sunday morning.
