Forbidding Smoking In Private Lives

I don't see how a company can enforce their policy on people's private lives. Smoking is very unpopular right now, so this might be allowed, and strangely might be viewed as a "good idea".

But where does it stop? What other legal activities can an employer ban you from ever doing?

I hope someone stops this before it gets out of hand.

This David Seigel guy is a joke. Yes, it is unhealthy to smoke, but it is not fair to fire or not hire someone because of their bad habit.

I worked with Westgate Resorts nearly 5 years ago and decided to leave because I felt guilty selling people into a 'scam' of sorts. There are much worse things happening at his resorts. Perhaps David Seigel should focus more on the managers and employees who sit in the parking lot snorting coke on their breaks....
