Yup, but we've long crossed that bridge. We can only suggest that quality employees take a zero tolerance policy towards these invasive employers. I'm afraid we are not going to be able to rely on regulation to stop these practices since anything anti-smoking (or anti-terrorism or anti-CP) can only be seen by most as a benefit. It's a slower form of prohibitionism. People can only see one side of the smoking debate. Similar thing happened with alcohol age. "Can't get a job unless you follow these rules" is very similar to "can't get funds unless you follow these rules". Choice against "good" is disallowed one way or another.
