The owner of a small German computer company has fired three non-smoking workers because they were threatening to disturb the peace after they requested a smoke-free environment.
...he had fired the trio because their non-smoking was causing disruptions.
"I can't be bothered with trouble-makers," Thomas was quoted saying. "We're on the phone all the time and it's just easier to work while smoking. Everyone picks on smokers these days. It's time for revenge. I'm only going to hire smokers from now on."news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20080109/od_uk_nm/oukoe_uk_germany_odd_smokingIdeal

I don't smoke, but I have nothing against those who do... which is weird because I have asthma and it can damage my health more than a "healthy" person. But hiring only smokers is incredibly stupid. I mean, the non-smokers could have just asked for like, their own corner or something, it wouldn't have been that big of a deal. I hate that our state has gone smoke free too, so no smoking in any buildings. Which I think is stupid because it applies to restaurants and bars too. Now that's funny, people damaging their liver with alcohol, don't want to damage their lungs with smoke??? weird.

I agree with not smoking in buildings. Other people are around that don't what to inhale the smoke. No bars i don't really no the benefit behind not smoking there?..

I thought having different sections for smokers and non-smokers was fine. If I sit in the non-smoking section I was never bothered by smoking
