Lately I have been seeing help wanted ads on the internet that require only non smokers to apply. When will the madness stop?

I work in a school district and our state is requiring tobacco
users to pay 75.00 extra on health insurance.

I have been to see a doctor one time in the last twenty years.

Its the same thing with life insurance too, they have higher premiums for smokers as well. Similar to paying more for vehicle insurance if you have a poor driving record or lots of accidents. I think we all know the risks health risks of smoking so can we really agrue against paying a higher cost for insurance if we smoke? But on the other hand, obseity is another proven health risk, so shouldn't there be higher premiums for someone who is obese or cannot pass some sort of physical fitness test?

That sounds like complete discrimination to me.
