If you hired only people who smoked, I don't think I could have any problem with that. Like a nudist camp, but for smokers. My only problem is as a person who is really bothered by smoke, I don't want to be forced to stay home in order to breath. And I think my right to breath (which is passive, really) supercedes the right of people to actively foul the air around me, when I am in public. But as I said already I do agree individuals have the right to do just about anything they want to themselves, as long as they don't hurt anyone else. And I am willing that society bear the cost (although my husband is saying in my ear he is not.) Suicide, for instance, why should that be illegal (um, I mean if you screw it up, and accidentally survive)? So I don't know Jim.

I want to start a business: Smokers ONLY. You don't agree to smoke, you don't get hired. An interesting legal question, I think.
