Although I see it as a good thing for them to do (being the ppl who promote good health and healthy living and all that), I do wonder what next? Will they only employ ppl who go for a 5 mile jog every day as that is also healthy? *hehe* I wonder if they also refuse to employ ppl who drink? I doubt it somehow...

I think this is PC gone mad again ];8)

I'm never sure that denying employment people suffering drug addiction is a good idea, especially if the addiction doesn't affect their job performance. Making employment conditional on treatment and progress in quitting their addiction may be OK with me; I haven't entirely decided yet.
