James fears that the policy will prevent HIC from hiring the very people who need jobs the most. Also, he knows that nicotine is highly addictive and that many people who want to stop smoking struggle to do so. Lifestyle choices affect a whole range of illnesses, including diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and sexually transmitted diseases. Is it fair to single out smokers for punishment? While only one-tenth of the company’s workers smoke, two thirds are overweight or obese, which also increases health costs. Even some healthy activities may increase costs—the CEO had been injured in a bike accident. Should the company refuse to hire overweight and cyclist groups as well? To complicate James’s decision, the CEO tends to resent employees who
disagree with him. If James speaks out against the nonsmoking policy, his job prospects could be damaged.
