Because of the MasterBates connotation?

Can you legally exclude smokers? By all means exclude them at the interview stage though. 🤣

Why the “Strictly” no smoker ? Is it because they want to waste 10 minutes every hour smoking , or because it tempts you back to the dark side of temptation ? [emoji23]
(Ps I’m not a smoker and I’m not knocking you for one second my friend, your company…your rules Sir )

You definitely can't exclude old people.

If you still believe it’s your company your rules you’re gonna find yourself getting a rude awakening one day.

Lots of us don't have the protection of contracts, most of my contracting work is organised on the phone, if someone wanted to bin me I wouldn't have a leg to stand on. I'd guess lots of jobbing arborists are in the same boat?

 

All together different if you (I) are working for a big firm.

If I put ‘non smoker’ in my adverts I’d be waiting a long time for anybody.
Just thinking back nearly all my climbers made/make those ones they do themselves.
