Does an Employer Have the Right to Demand that an Employee Quit
Smoking
Number of pages:

ABSTRACT:
This 5 page report discusses the question of the
“rights” of an employer to demand that an employee quit smoking,
both at the workplace and at the employee’s home. Just as an
employer does not have the right to determine what religious
practices an employee follows, whether they consume alcohol,
whether they are married or single, the employer cannot dictate
that an employee not smoke tobacco in the privacy of his or her
own home. It can even be compared to making some sort of
requirement that an employee not watch videos on television,
cheer for a team that is not sponsored by the company, or drink
tea rather than coffee. When one considers it in such a context,
the issue is clearly absurd. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
