fire anyone who drinks alcohol, eats high fat food (or any fast food, food with high salt content, high sugar foods. Burnt or BBQed foods.

And anyone who doesn't work out enough to keep their physical fitness up for any reason. Although not in high risk dangerous activities - they will be fired too.

Some claim that being gay is a lifestyle choice

As i see it all I hear is that smokers need to pay higher in insurance premiums why ? What about the hypercondract that goes to the dr more then I do. Im lucky to got o the dr once a year and thats usually for my woman thing hell I i got a cold i by over the counter. Those who smoke smoke those who are gays are gay not all can be lumped in one little box.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

Oh btw, Not to get gross, however and im not saying all gay folks do this but the majority of my patients that have come through the door were gay. Removing foreign objects that shouldnt be put there from orrifices of the human body results in as many surgeries as other disease related ones.

No offense, but that is patently bull****.

[Mrs. Tuberski]

None Taken however Im the one being drug out of bed sometimes 3 times a night because im on call to go to work to perform the surgery to remove the object. That has traveled so far in one direction that it has to be removed surgically, this doesnt include the patients that can be treated in the E.R.

I can't believe smokers are complaining about us complaining about second hand smoke!

It's ****ing smoke! You aren't supposed to breath that stuff.

While I think what the company did was wrong, I can care less. I hate being forced to breath smoke at my job. Yes I have the option of moving to a state that does not allow smoking everywhere, but this is where I grew up. Everyone I know lives here. It was tough for me living back east where I knew no one.

My city is unique, because it's like a smoker's paradise. I think most of the people who move to my city are smokers. We have the highest smoking rate in the country. You can smoke anywhere you like. Even with little kids running around.

This is were i can agree with you you shouldnt have to beathe the F******* smoke if you dont want to. I cant answer for other smokers but I am considerate to those who dont smoke and make every attempt to not smoke in front or around them. However if I am in a public place with more than one smoker and it legal to smoke there how can your rights not to smoke override mine to smoke. If you choose to go to a smoking establisment you have to take what comes with it. I sure as h*** wouldnt go to a place that says i cant smoke and light up.
