Why non-smoking?

Yes why non-smoking in an outdoors job? Understand if no smoking in the truck etc., but this seems unreasonable. What else is not allowed?

Not sure if that's legal on this side of the pond. Drugs, fair enough. Smoking or weight? Questionable. I smoke and and fitter than many non smokers. I also know the odd climber who's BMI puts them as overweight, and they're quicker than me. I'm tiny.

 

How do you guage "technically overweight" anyhow? BMI? In that case England's Rugby team are all obese!

[Mark Bolam]

It's America Joe.

Overweight means more than 40 stone.

simple

overweight and smoking is judged by how long it takes with running to and from the chipper

until they need a fag or feel faint and need to eat again
