I used to be employed by a major computer company that would scold you for suspected smoking, at the same time paying out millions of dollars in medical payments for employees for the treatment of aids.(The company was based in California) They thought nothing of sending you out to detox if you were hooked on drugs, costing thousands per incident, but don't smoke. We had employees who were habitual traffic offenders assigned company cars, putting the company at risk for millions of dollars, but don't smoke in the car. I never participated in any of these activities, just find it strange that some organizations find that smoking is the "big problem" du jour.
