Yes, and today you are eminently qualified to beotch in here.

Ya know it never hit me until I had quit my four pack a day habit, but when it did hit me, the guilt that is, about how I made everyone around me smell like an ashtray around me, I realized how selfish I was in regard to smoking. The hous emust have stunk to high heaven, I know my clothes did. My truck must have stunk to high heaven and not well maybe the old squid made it stink a little too, but that was only during fishing season. Five years after I quit my wife got breast cancer, and I always wondered, even though she and her doctor both said no, whether or not I caused it. I always enjoy your posts but this one I have to disagree with your slant. Without pontificating how bad it is for you I think smoking is as selfish an act to committ publicly as many other things are.

My friend is president and ceo of a fortune 500 company. New policy coming; zero smoking by the employees. It boils down to healthcare costs. He said he would go after fat asses next if he were legally allowed to.Get with the program Ed.

Smokers are a huge money-sink for employers. More sick days, requests for more breaks, poorer job performance... I think it was the Economist or Inc. Magazine a few months ago that had an article about a couple studies that dug into the details of workers who smoke compared to workers who do not.
