It's probably more about the health insurance rates the hospital pays for its employees, and the premium incentives for having a drug-tested and smoke-free workforce.
I was hired by a company back in 1990 and was told they do not hire smokers. I was a smoker but told them I was not. That was incentive enough for me to quit and I'm glad I did. I got a pretty good job out of the deal. I stayed there 13 years.
