89. They probably did the math and realized smokers are making their health insurance
costs sky high. But if they get away with this, I'm guessing fat employees will be the next group to be banned. Then groups with a higher rate for heart disease, etc. I could see this being a slippery slope.

That being said, if this rule encourages people to stop smoking, that would be a good thing.
