         Maybe the non-smokers would be more productive if they didn't
         have all that smoke in their eyes.

         I liken smokers to people who never take baths.  If you had a 
         co-worker who never took baths, would you accept his right to
         pollute the air with foul odors, or would you hope that he got
         canned when the next "force reduction" rolled around ?
