and no one irl even has the decency to agree with me because it’s so fucking drilled into the culture that these fucking BuNsInNesSes have a Right to do this because it’s a bSUsniEss. like oh yeah they have an office building so they definitely get to analyze my piss because they say they want to. sick fucking freaks.

preaching to the choir a bit on lemmy (or i would hope so at least) but still

    Thry test for tobacco use at hospitals?

    You mean they test patients? Or employees?

    As a smoker I’ve never heard of this. Also it’s legal so why not just admit to it?

      Legally, where I live, healthcare workers have to change out of their scrubs, and leave the hospital/clinic area to have a smoke - as smoke can severely impact some patients health, and even residue on clothing has been shown to have a statistically significant impact.

      They test employees. It’s often hospital policy that their employees do not smoke, and while I’m sure they dont like the look of nurses and doctors smoking on hospital grounds, its really that the hospital gets a big discount on employee health insurance.

        Weird. Most of the paramedics and EMTs I know smoke. Of course they are not actual hospital employees.
