Four employees of the healthcare firm Weyco have been fired after refusing to take a test to determine if they were smokers.

The Michigan-based Weyco, introduced a policy banning its staff from smoking - even away from the workplace. The firm says it is to keep health costs down and has helped 14 staff to stop smoking.

Weyco gave its staff an ultimatum last year - either stop smoking by 01-JAN-05 or find another job.
