If enough of these companies adopt these policies and it really becomes difficult for smokers to find jobs, there are going to be consequences. Unemployment is also bad for health.The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Workrights Institute likewise want to protect smokers from employment discrimination. Lewis Maltby, president of the latter group, says:
There is nothing unique about smoking. The number of things that we all do privately that have negative impact on our health is endless. If it's not smoking, it's beer. If it's not beer, it's cheeseburgers. And what about your sex life?
Because they are exerting themselves, cyclists breathe harder and faster than other road users. The study found that they suck in about 1,000 cubic cm with each breath, meaning they may inhale tens of millions of the particles each time they fill their lungs, and billions during a whole journey.
"This is the first time anyone has counted the particles while also measuring people's breathing during city commuting. It showed that cyclists can inhale an astonishing number of pollutant particles in one journey," said Luc Int Panis of the transport research institute at Hasselt University in Belgium, who led the study.
Comment: But smokers are NOT patients. They CHOOSE to supplement their diets via the inhalation of tobacco smoke in order to increase their numbers of acetylcholine receptors and enhance their body's anti-inflammatory responses to psychological and environmental stress.
