Oh, Eric, Eric, Eric.  Tell the good folk at home what you *really* mean.
CO testing would mean excluding anyone who smoked, had a smoking spouse,
or had a lot of friends who smoked.  This means seriously "butt"ing into 
personal lives, not just the workplace.  Aren't you the one with the cute
little statement that if the wife smoked, the husband should *demand* that
she stop because, after all, it's the hubby that tells the wife what to do
and not the other way around?

Try the USSR.  They *love* to regulate personal lives.

On a lighter (hee hee) note Eric sweets, your postings make my day.  You are
more fun than 210 Ginsu knife commercials.
