A Minnesota woman is claiming that smoking a cigarette in the privacy of her own home cost her a job.
Stephanie
Cannon was fired from her job as a receptionist at the Frauenshuh
Cancer Center of Park Nicollet Health Services on the grounds that she
smelled like smoke at work, KSTP-TV reports.
Cannon is a regular, pack-a-day smoker, but she told the local ABC
affiliate that she never brought her habit with her to work.
Six
weeks into her job, Cannon's boss told her she could no longer show up
to work smelling like smoke. Despite efforts to eliminate the smell from
her clothing -- which she claims included bagging and spraying her
clothing with air freshener before work -- the stench just wouldn't go
away, and the hospital let her go.

Jeremy Richards, Ph.D., The Southeast Regional Director of the Citizens Freedom Alliance lists compelling evidence for why smoking bans often do not work. It is true that even these outdoor Mayor Bloomberg-esque bans have had some popularity recently. However, in my research on tobacco prohibitions I have discovered that many of the smoking bans (both outdoor and even some indoor) have begun to fail. USA: Ban-Ban-Banzhaf. John Banzhaf III, former cruise ship dancer, anti-smoking wibbler and ambulance chaster extraordinaire, joined Twitter over a year ago and has so far been rewarded with 46 followers, some of whom are not bots or people who heartily despise him. His tweets are almost entirely limited to links to his own self-written press releases, but occasionally he cuts out the middle man and lets us know what is really on his mind...

Let me first say I am not a smoker; however I am opposed to Atlanta City Officials to even think of banning smoking outside. It is an outrage for them to want to endanger a person's health forcing smoking of all kinds inside. | |
