Stop Nicotine Testing for Employment

It has came to attention that companies are trying to blame smokers and nicotine users for high healthcare costs, which has lead to a new trend of nicotine testing for employment. A policy like this instantly eliminates potential employees for something that they do in their private lives. It has also gone as invasive as nicotine testing the people a potential employee lives with. A person over the age if eighteen has the legal right to use nicotine if they choose, so what gives an employer the right to supress this? There is a difference between being "smoke free" and "smoker free". We as a society have the ability to keep this from happening, to keep peoples jobs, and to keep unemployment rates rising even quicker. So lets keep employees personal lives personal, and fight to eliminate nicotine testing for employment.
