Smoke as strongly as you feel about this. The facts are as I stated. Stigma is as it is for alcoholism and drug addiction. Addicts/alcoholics cannot draw disability at this date. Like I said before The employer such as your self has to decide if they are willing and compassionate enough to deal with workers who are actively addicted. all of what you said is true. No one wants to employ dead weight but the laws and the programs available are as they are.
