that nicotine they tested could've came from a nicotine patch or nicotine gum, used to help quit smoking.
Okay, I'm no lawyer, maybe it is legal, but it still sounds screwy to me.
By the way, I smoke and I get a hell of a lot more done than the people who are always crowded in the kitchen eating the mistake orders and the extra food leftover from buffets...
After I have a cigarette, I feel buzzed. I act and feel happier and more energetic. If they told me I can't smoke at work, and I decided to stay there, I would be moody and unproductive. Also, it only takes 1 minute to smoke. You don't need to let it sit there and burn...
It really is a terrible habit, but it's also extremely addictive and I think that every smoker truly would like to quit, the ones that are still smoking are just not ready. They'll quit when they're ready. Forcing them to quit probably leeds to resentment and hostile feelings toward the employer.
