Well folks, welcome to the modern era. Tobacco is godlessness. Tobacco smoking and use is the most indigent activity in the eyes of the employers and tax payers right? If you get a condition that requires me to pay a slightly higher tax to cover the general publics health care, you are a godless whore and I am the devil that is going to condemn you to hell. I believe thats our day today.
Health care provisions by law are not going to be popular. Obamacare as it be called is on every republicans fingertips as the end to their happiness on earth. Its a battle that is going to last the next 60 years or so I bet.
Well, the new nail in the coffin is that in many health care institutions, tobacco and nicotine products are outlawed. Not just on the premises but in your home as well.
I admire the perceived and well meaning and considerate seemingly altruism that this endeavors, but I must say that I feel that a constitutional right is being violated. Man should not be limited in seeking employment becuase he is using a legalized drug that is supported by the constitution of the United States of America.
I do believe that someone like myself who enjoys pipes and an occasional cigar should indeed be cleared to work in any hospital in the USA. This is not so. I met a resident in my town in a program at one of the hospitals and he told me that they are given nicotine sensing urine tests often to determine if they are using this "horrible" substance.
Nicotine use has not been associated with a break in performance and in some cases may enhance it. I am not saying I want to see employees outside smoking and I have no problem if that is outlawed. You can chew nicotine gum if need be. I do. But that said, to exclude the nicotine user from the work force is like asking for an ashtray to build your ship with. Because you dont want to let the smokers smoke and you dont want to let the trustworthy adults enjoy their God given existence. I say amen to the lifting of this bad policy. Thanks.
