Quit smoking or quit your job? (..or, you're FIRED!)

Advertisements [?]

CLEVELAND -- A major company is going smoke-free and giving employees an ultimatum.

Ohio-based Scotts Miracle-Gro has told their employees who smoke - if they don't quit by October, they will be fired.

The lawn and garden company, based in Marysville is trying to keep health insurance costs down.

The company has 6,000 employees and says it can legally fire smokers in 21 states.

No way they can do this. I'm no fan of smoking, but it's still legal. Is junk food next?
