Question: My CEO asked me to look into the feasibility of requiring employees to be ‘tobacco-free’ off the job as well as during working hours. He thinks we could save a lot on health insurance if none of our employees smoked. Has anybody done this … or considered it? What issues do I need to consider before I make a recommendation on how we should proceed? — Chris M., Ohio
