Brumar, > Shouldn't we expect smart people to know how to spell 'laude'? Pubo seems obsessed with bragging about his "intelligence." Yet his posts reflect the mentality of a common Internet troll. No way this guy is a doctor, or else he's got some serious issues ... Tenchusatsu

Fort Worth May Refuse to Hire Smokers CITY CONSIDERS BAN By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff newser.com Posted Apr 17, 2012 12:46 PM CDT (NEWSER) – It's one thing for a hospital to refuse to hire smokers—but an entire city? Fort Worth is considering the idea, and there has been—of course—some backlash. "I think it's an infringement on the public's rights to live their life the way they choose to," says the president of the city's employee association, a smoker. Mayor Betsy Price wants to make Fort Worth healthier, and as such is having the human resources department look into new hiring policies—like the one in place at Baylor Healthcare System, which doesn't hire smokers. Baylor also offers current employees and their spouses access to programs if they want to quit, WFAA reports. One expert says the practice of banning tobacco or smokers is increasing, and employment attorneys say smokers are not a protected group.
