JUST WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, WANTING TO FIRE ALL THE
SMOKERS!

I'll bet 10 to 1 that the guy smoking in the office next to you or
down the hall keeps his job, and y YOU wind up out on the street!

I recall reading in an recent article in the N.Y. Times where some researcher
investigated the productivity of smokers vs. non-smokers. He was 
attemptinhg to prove that non-smokers were more productive (who knows/cares
whathow it it defined). He belatedly found that smokers were 3% more
productive.

In addition, maybe thoa minute reason that ATTIS loses a billion a year
and has to can 24 K people is because of people like you who worry
aboyt smokingut smoking in the office rather than your fucking job!
