Shepard Smith just had on an interesting issue. There is a Hospital that if you apply for a job and you smoke you will not be hired. The Hospital is selling their policy as their way to teach people what is good and bad for their health. Ask yourself should a job in the US be based on whether you smoke or not when the President of the US. smokes? :? Maybe the US government since they want everyone to live a healthier life should inact the same policy for their President?
Smokers need not apply.
Don't get me wrong, I don't agree with the Hospital's policy especially when the Spokesman said this was the "first step" in their attempt to teach people what is good for them and what is not. To which Shep asked what is the next step banning people from getting a job because they use salt? Both smoking and using salt are legal in the US and some doctors feel salt is harmful to a person's health and can cause death. ( IE the Assemblyman in NY already trying to have it ban in prepared foods) So what is stopping them from banning salt intake in their employees? To which the guy just said smoking is their first step to teach and Shep stopped him and said that is what scares him, FIRST STEP SO WHAT"S NEXT And personally I agree with Shep if they can ban smokers which is legal in the US from getting a job, what is next? Nanny State run amuck.
