I agree that it sets a dangerous precedent for the future. After he's done with those who smoke and who are overweight, then who? A diabetic who eats a donut? Someone with high cholesterol who eats an egg for breakfast? Someone with high blood pressure who eats a bag of salty potato chips?
Also, what if these employees DO quit smoking using the aid of Nicotrol, Nicorette or the patch? Won't they have nicotine in their systems even though they aren't smoking?
If employers want to ban smoking on their premises, during work hours, that's fine. It frightens me to think that an employer can own you all day and night, every day and night. They get 8.5 hours a day out of me, sometimes more if in case of emergency, but no pay in the world is high enough for an employer to own me! My time is MY time.
