| My company recently instituted increased health insurance rates for users of tobacco products. I have no doubt they would do whatever they had to do with someone who lied about their use of tobacco products when they went through open enrollment.
They are not, however, treating smokers like second class citizens. They offer smoking cessation help, and they even recently built a small ventilated structure outside of one of our buildings, affectionately known as the Butt Hutt. I think they know they would have a shortage of qualified workers if they mistreated people (it is manufacturing, but also alot of execs and middle level folks also).
Even the cigar afficionados are going 'incognito'. They were afraid to bid on a great collection of cigars at a company sponsored charity auction! |
