yeah but lots of people have lots of different types of problems… a non smoker can also have the weirdest of personality because of some other reason. what i am saying is that for a stricktly office (hiring/promoting) criteria, we have to be as much objective as we can, without prejudice against anyone. Criteria shold only be performance and potential based. Yes if a person has clear personaly issues, then that could go against him in office hiring process. but not the plain fact that he/she smokes.

Again: anyone who is reading this: smoking is actually equivalant to slowly poisoning yourself. It leads to a seriously painful / regretful future. Avoid at all costs.

Pretty Simple: Unless it is scientifically proven that smokers waste more time or indulge more in office politics, it cannot be made a criteria.

Smokers damage their health, agreed. But in a stricktly office environment you cannot discriminate against someone if he/she smokes. Yes you can make them Not smoke inside the office, and make the office smoke free. But you cannot judge their performance or make a hiring criteria around this factor…

P.S. I don’t smoke and do not encourage smoking at all. Its one of the silliest things to do, and does cause serious health problems.

Have you guys seen ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’?

In the movie, while working at an internship that he’s won hard alongwith the responsibility of caring for a young child of his, Will Smith’s character doesn’t even drink water at the office just to avoid time wastage out of using a rest room!

Now, that is what they call productivity ;)

Also i agree with BZero, its one of the criteria by and large to choose better minds, and in great office settings “time” is a countable important factor.
