This always sticks in my mind when people say you should and shouldn't do this and that so you will live longer and happier(?).
Nobody is alike. Some will be effected more from doing certain activities some will not be effected at all or minimally.
We are supposed to be living in a free society.
Stop telling me what to do.
I don't think they're telling you what to do. They're just saying if you do certain things, they won't hire you. Yes it's a free society, and they are free not to hire you if you are going to cost them a bundle in health care due to smoking. The "Free Society" thing works both ways.
