Smokers need not apply in one Florida county, which will soon require prospective job applicants to pass a nicotine test before starting work.

this is what happens when you allow the government take over of health care. Now they feel they have the right to dictate your health.
What is next junk food because more people die each year caused by complications of being over weight than do to tobacco

hope you Liberals are happy you got what you wanted now we all will have to suffer the actions of a tyrannical government telling us what we can and can not do to our own body unless it comes to killing your unborn child

Private business can already ban people from certain jobs. Potheads for example. Dirty people. Unpleasant or rude people. Even ugly people can be banned from modeling.
