There are some very strange replies to this thread. The hospital in question has the legal right to hire only non-smokers. It has to do only with the health insurance issue.

My health insurance offers free "quit smoking" assistance programs as well as reduced costs for health clubs in order to promote a healthy lifestyle. It helps to keep rates low for all the insured people.

Hats off to businesses that do not hire smokers.
