This has been going on for a while. Scott's and some Michigan company have both done the very same thing. |

The policy was in place when he got hired. He knew that it was against the policy and he decided to go against it. He should have never taken the job. |

They should just charge the smokers higher premiums like the rest of the insurance companies do!
