Excellent. And those state and private employer wellness programs should be explicitly targeted by this anti-discrimination law.

But don't forget that the truly massive violation of smokers' rights is by the flagrant scientific fraud the anti-smokers commit to falsely blame smoking for diseases that are really caused by infection. For the government to commit fraud to deprive us of our liberties is automatically a violation of our Constitutional rights to the equal protection of the laws, just as much as if it purposely threw innocent people in prison. And for the government to spread lies about phony smoking and passive smoking dangers is terrorism, no different from making phony bomb threats.

As serious as this topic is, there are truly absurd and comical aberrations within certain corporate structures ...

My former employers instituted a "Wellness Program" a few years ago, staffed by intrusive fanatical Puritans who apparently disapproved of anything fun or pleasurable ...

After the usual targets of alcohol and tobacco, they finally got around to skydiving, then recreational aviation, and threatened anyone who dared to leave the ground on their own time ...

Until it was pointed out that the owners of the company were lifetime aviators. Oops ... :oops:

I can tell you, having spent 43 years in engineering, that virtually every technological device we take for granted now was conceived and designed by folks with an overflowing ashtray on their drafting table, and a bottle in their desk drawer. They worked hard and played harder ...

I am SO glad to be retired ... :D
