Yeah, some states have laws now that companies can do this... some states still don't allow that though. My state is so hugely smoking that it hasn't happened here... but I expect to see more and more of this.
Personally, I'm torn on this issue. On the one hand, if smokers think that they might not be able to get a job because they smoke, they might be more likely to quit, which is great! But on the other hand, smoking IS still legal in this country! It's not like nicotine is an illegal drug that impairs judgement! Another thing, what about people who ARE trying to quit, but are using NRTs! They still have nicotine in their systems, and therefore, would test positive for nicotine, even though they are doing something to better their lives and their health. Many people might think "well, if I'm going to get turned down for having nicotine in my system, I may as well smoke!"
Like I said, I'm torn.
Crave the Quit!
