Dear WTF - just wait till they take away something you like next. Then you will change your attitude real quick and moan like a baby and cry unfair. What this whole anti-smoking campaign has done, is let people like you legally, and out in the open, be a "racist" and a hate monger. Something that you most likely were a closet case to begin with. I would even venture to imagine that if it was only smokers put into concentration camps and gassed back in the old Germany, you would have been dancing with joy and wanting to go sign up to be one of the guards at the camps - because it is FASHIONABLE to be a smoker hater. Yep, you are a real human being alright.

Essential Tips For The Novice Smoker

Writing a website full of BBQ Smoker Recipes is a time consuming business even at the best of times. I take pride in ensuring that the pictures I put up on my site are of food that I have cooked and not some glossy template purchased on the internet

Mary Keating: Smokers don't particularly have any employment rights. At least, I am not aware of any laws, maybe there is some local ones but I tend to doubt it. You can refuse to hire a smoker; smoking is not a recognized disability. You don't have to give smokers breaks. You might find that you need to in order to improve their production at the office.

Rochelle Eisenberg: I wouldn't call it a smoke break though because what that does is that it causes animosity among the non-smokers. We have heard this, why should that person get a 10 minute smoke break and I have to work? We all want a break. But no there is no entitlement to a smoke break.

Mary Keating: You can discriminate between smokers and non-smokers and you can give smokers better breaks, but you have to think what that's going to do with the morale in the office. It is going to affect things in the office if that is perceived as favorable treatment for smokers.
