Despite the doomsday warnings, banning smoking has had little effect on hiring. Since 2007, 15,000 applicants have been tested and 250 have tested positive and been turned away, Terpeluk said.[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
While Cleveland Clinic has received accolades for its program, there are plenty of critics who say such initiatives are intrusive.
“At what point does the employer’s tentacle stop reaching?” said Gary Nolan, U.S. director of the Citizens Freedom Alliance, Inc. and The Smoker’s Club. “Will they tell them they can’t ride a motorcycle or they have to wear a helmet, or will they complain that you are too lethargic and you have to exercise more?”
Nolan argues that MorseLife will get less productivity from its smoking employees because they’ll now have to drive down the street to light up instead of walking out a door.
Milling around the new green market, Amanda Sapio seemed genuinely energized about her employer’s new focus on creating healthier workers at MorseLife. After all, Sapio, 29, is a diet technician for the nonprofit that offers health care, housing and support services to seniors.
But the second part of MorseLife’s push, eliminating smoking,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], will be harder for Sapio,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who got hooked on cigarettes at 15.[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].

“I’m kind of excited,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],” she said. “It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.”
It’s time to think about New Year’s resolutions. Quitting smoking, appropriately, is at the top of many lists.
Now, 2010 was the first full year that the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, regulated tobacco, but with its new powers, did it do anything to make it easier for smokers to quit when we ring in the New Year?
The answer is not only a resounding “no,” it is worse: The government, as well as many government-funded anti-smoking groups, is making it harder for smokers to give up the deadly habit.cheap newport cigarettes.
The FDA and groups such as the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids oppose the use of “tobacco harm reduction,” which is the use of less harmful products than cigarettes to help people [link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Late last year, the FDA warned about the safety of electronic or E-cigarettes and began a campaign to keep them away from smokers. E-cigarettes not only supply “clean” nicotine,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but also look like cigarettes — many even have an LED light at the tip. These products, which contain no actual tobacco, are noncombustible. While nicotine is addictive, it isn’t particularly harmful. It is like the caffeine in soda: It makes you want to drink more, but it isn’t what packs on the pounds — the calories from the sugar.
