mntnman44 -- I suspect you're correct. What that means about those who smoke I really don't know.

I've spent the bulk of my working life in chemical manufacturing. If only for safety reasons, they've been on the warpath against smoking for a looong time. Think that maybe insurance considerations strenghtened their natural inclinations. Haven't had a plant manager I've worked for who's been a smoker since the early 1970's. It's rather easy for anyone in our industry to be a non-smoker --disapproval everywhere.

    I'd say I understood; but I'm not sure I do. I've been in vehemently anti-smoking environments so long that those seem the norm. Not so much "smokers are the pits" as it's been "you just don't do that." If I'm to judge by personal impressions, the wage roll people at the plants I've worked on have been just as anti-smoking as management--smokers cost them health insurrance premiums. The OCAW and ICWU locals have both leans on members to stop. Guess it's sort of a snowball effect--the actions on one site legitimize those on another.
