According to the news last night the company is in a state that allows persons to be terminated for smoking in that it is a company policy that was violated. Only 13 ( I think) states have passed laws that protect smokers from job termination. I do agree that the company does not have a right to terminate based on what one does during their off hours. I also believe that since the owner of the business stated on national television that one of the reasons was to help save money that if an employee can show that they have not taken any time off due to smoke related medical reasons that they would have a good chance of making a case legally.
But that is just my opinion of course
