is any more onerous or unjust than any other discriminatory hiring decision. Nobody would blink about the fellow with the swastika tattooed on his knuckle or the person who thinks an AC/DC shirt is appropriate interview wear gettting turned down for a job, so what's the horror about turning down someone who smokes?
