I can see how this is a "slippery slope", but I have to say that I somewhat agree with him. He did go a little far saying employees cannot even smoke in their personal life off the company clock, but...
I think non-smokers will agree with me that smokers take far many more breaks than the non-smokers, as well as when they return to their work environments everyone around them can smell them - trust me on this one. Also, I know at my company it is a constant battle to get the smokers to 1. smoke in the specified area and 2. place their butts in the provided containers instead of just stomping them on the ground and leaving them. Our VP of HR has come within days of having to make our office a non-smoking one because the owner WAS NOT happy about the disrespect to his building and grounds.
As for the gym, if my company would give me a $45 voucher it would cover the cost of a monthly membership and then some. I would be very happy, and put it to good use.
