Some employers are moving toward hiring only non-smokers. Meaning anyone who smokes at home and on their own time cannot be hired. There was even a major lawsuit regarding this issue. The employer required a medical exam and blood test to determine new hires were non-smokers.[/b]I understand the employer wants to save costs and all...but wouldn't that be a major invasion of privacy?
By the way...for all you smokers - don't get stuck in Indianapolis if you are travelling. Starting in June, smoking is prohibited on ALL airport grounds unless you are in your car.
