Smoking: Bad for your health, good for the job
Non-smokers need not apply. The boss of a small IT company in Germany has had it with people who don't smoke. He fired three workers because they were threatening to disturb the peace after they requested a smoke-free environment. The manager, known only as Thomas J, told a German paper: "We're on the phone all the time and it's just easier to work while smoking. I'm only going to hire smokers from now on." On January 1, Germany introduced smoking bans for bars and restaurants but you can still smoke in small offices.
