They need to start treating tobacco companies like the drug lords they are. You can't let a multi billion dollar industry get that kind of wealth by selling a destructive and addictive substance with the full blessings of the government and lawmakers and then turn around and ostracize the addicts from society.

Good comment is good. My thoughts exactly.

Gotta love capitalism/corporate America!

I'm sorry, as much as I hate cigarettes, this is wrong. If I choose to poison myself on my own time, that is my business. Not yours.

As a fat person, this worries me. Are we next?

[azetburcaptain]

Oh, we fat people were targeted before. I believe many companies hire people who "fit the corporation's image". Wasn't there an article here about people being less likely to get a job if they were fat? I remember reading such an article.

[flying_pandas]

I'm starting a fatty corporation and am only hiring other fat people.

Look, I don't like second hand smoking, but this is a ridiculous imposition on people's privacy.
