QUOTABLE QUOTES (smoking)
Thank you for Not Smoking. Cigarette smoke is the residue of your pleasure. It contaminates the air, pollutes my hair and clothes, not to mention my lungs. This takes place without my consent. I have a pleasure, also. I like a beer now and then. The residue of my pleasure is urine. Would you be annoyed if I stood on a chair and pissed on your head and your clothes without your consent? ~Sign from Ken's Magic Shop

The public health authorities never mention the main reason many Americans have for smoking heavily, which is that smoking is a fairly sure, fairly honorable form of suicide.
~Kurt Vonnegut
There's a lot of people who, a cigarette is about the only vacation they have.
~Trey Parker
A cigarette is a pipe with a fire at one end and a fool at the other.
~ James Harrow
I'm glad I don't have to explain to a man from Mars why each day I set fire to dozens of little pieces of paper, and put them in my mouth.
~Mignon McLaughlin
The cigarette does the smoking - you're just the sucker.

It’s easy to quit smoking. I’ve done it hundreds of times.

Is it legal to discriminate against smokers, in the workplace?
Yes, Of course it's legal. Smoking affects the worker and it affects the other people in the workplace.
Smokers HAVE to get their nick fix periodically, which means that they are taking breaks that they aren't entitled to, even if they smoke at their desk (which of course they usually can't do any more). This means that the nonsmokers have to take up the slack. I used to work with a heavy smoker, and she'd disappear into the bathroom about every 45 minutes. This meant that I had to quit doing what I was working on (I was working in the deli, and had to make salads and sandwiches) and cover her cash register. Then the boss would yell at ME because I hadn't made up all the salads and sandwiches. I finally said that I wasn't willing to work on a shift with her. None of the other workers would, either, because she was always running off and lighting up, and because the bathroom always smelled of smoke.
In some jobs, it's hazardous to smoke, for instance around flammable materials.
Plus, many smokers just smell like a dirty ashtray, and are not nice to be around. Some smokers don't seem to smell like this, but with most smokers, the smell is in their skin, not just in their clothes.
In this specific case, the company is looking for someone to be at that desk, not out back having a cigarette, and they are also looking for someone who is presentable. It's a totally reasonable requirement.
