It may be wrong, but many employers do discriminate, and if you are working with the public, personal appearance (and smell) is an important consideration. Secondly, smokers take "smoke breaks" so they typically work less than their fellow employees. Smokers also are thought to be higher risk employees from a health factor, and are thought to be sick more often than others. Bosses know this. ANSWER: Responses will vary. A sample response follows: Tobacco use can negatively impact personal finances through the cost of purchased tobacco products, loss of income due to missed work days, and increased healthcare costs due to the increased risk of illness associated with tobacco use.
