Anne Arundel Medical Center has a new employment policy: it will no longer hire smokers.
The medical center says it's been smoke free since 2007 but wants to provide a safe and healthy environment, and promote the health and well-being of its employees. The Maryland hospital's new employment policy goes into effect in July of next year. Officials say the policy won't apply to smokers who are already working for the hospital.
Starting next month, the use of all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, will be banned at all the hospital's facilities.

Welcome to nazi germany.what about the criminal gene... fat people ..heavy purfume...donuts... trans fat ..md is turning into a communist enclave..
discrimination
Smoking is a disgusting habit. I approve. Half the people I see buying cigs can't afford them. Cigs are $7 a pack. You are buying a product that will eventually kill you.
Yet we will hire people ,who are not qualified ,to a job because of their color or sex!
How about firing all the medical centers' fat cats who drink?
I bet they pose a greater danger to the safety of patients and to the sick days bottom line than people who smoke, but not on the campus of the hospital.
If they want to be smoke free the are free to do that. If you don't like it you are free to go somewhere else. If you want to be a heavy perfume wearing donut eating criminal Nazi you are free to do that also. That is what a free America is all about.
Wait until they turn on gays.
