That would be me buggered then - cos I haven't smoked for ages, but I am hooked on Niquitin Lozenges now, so I still have the nicotine buzzing around in my system.
Whoever came up with this policy is a complete moron - they can justify it all they want on "health" grounds, but at the end of the day it is about penny-pinching - reducing their contributions to their employees' health insurance.
