Our database contains a bibliographic description of the article, absolutely. But the wording above makes it sound like we're citing Kurtz to uphold an organizational policy. Note to Sarah: when organizations/companies decide to enact a "no people who smoke" hiring policy, employees who currently smoke are often given a year to quit and free nicotine replacement therapy/counselling during that time. I don't have a citation for that, just remember reading it a couple of times. If you poke around the web, something should come up. CCTC doesn't catalogue news items, or I'd suggest our site!

Smoking is an addiction, people. I can see penalizing people who take up smoking, I suppose, but life-long smokers should be grandfathered in. The implications in Canada are particularly alarming. Are we going to cut smokers out of socialized healthcare? etc. As someone who is violently allergic to cigarette smoke, I enjoy the general trend against public smoking … but this is a little ridiculous.
