What I have noticed over the years is that employers get far less work from smokers who need to go outside on frequent breaks to smoke. (That is the nature of the addiction. Priority one is to smoke when the urge presents itself or suffer withdrawal. Nicotine is a drug.) Meanwhile the nonsmokers inside keep working away. The nonsmokers end up carrying part of the smokers' loads as a consequence to the smoke breaks.
In a healthcare environment the other workers and patients in particular should not have to suffer the stench from the reeking clothes and bodies of smokers in close quarters to themselves. Cheers employers who are taking this step!

Have you ever had to stand next to repulsive fragrance worn by someone? Now that is repulsive!...especially when the fragrance clings to your clothes and you can't get rid of it until you wash your clothes and take a shower!

I agree. Companies have been banning smoking in the workplace for years now. I consider smoking on the job to be bad job ethics. If you are a smoker, you do such a thing on your own time and choosing. In addition, I have never supported the idea of giving smoker's cigarette breaks. They get the same breaks as everyone else. Not being able to smoke while on job and at workplace is a measure that been completely supported by most. What is really the line is when the company is telling what you can and can't do in the privacy of your own home and outside the workplace.
There is a world of a difference between a company telling you you can't smoke at work and telling you you can't smoking at home. |

Allowing current employees to smoke while new employees can't opens a whole can of worms of unequal protection. Just think about these instance and will see why this such a huge problem.
1. Husband and wife both smoke. Husband works at hospital and can smoke. Wife gets a job at the hospital but she is no longer allowed to smoke. Highly intrusive to intramarriagal affairs of couples. 2. Your best friend works at the hospital and smokes. You do as well but you don't work at the hospital. You spend lots time hanging with your friend in bars and nightclubs. Now, you want to get a job at the hospital. The hospital tells you can no longer smoke but your best friend and COWORKER CAN. You can see how this would be extremely and Highly disruptive to lives of both individuals. The 2 friends would have a very difficult time trying to hang out together. So in this case, the policy is highly disruptive to close bonded friendships. |

Obamacare has compensated for this by allowing for "Preexisting Conditions". One the only conditions though that is not covered is Smoking. If you smoke, the insurance companies are allowed to charge huge premiums on you. This is because smoking has become so socially unacceptable. The main reason is the replusiveness of smoking is highly offensive, so therefore is a way for insurance companies to get more money. There are many many other acts, conditions and lifestyles that far worse than smoking but they don't carry the replusive effect. Eg. Being Obese is far worse than being a smoker but it lacks the replusive effect. That's why Obese people are not picked like smokers even though they are in far worse shape.

The reason that smokers pay a higher premium has nothing to do with social acceptability.

It has nothing to do with Obamacare either!

Physical Therapy at Home
I am getting physical therapy at home twice a week. The session is not what I expected. What should I except? If you have had therapy, what did you do during the session?

Maybe TVRH hospital should dock the wages of existing employees who smoke...that's what my daughter's employer, a major healthcare company, does. That would take some of the "$10,000,000 bonus" away.

Lynn, I suggest you start a new thread with this title to get more response. Also, please state for what you are getting physical therapy, because the method of treatment could be quite different for different parts of the body.
