Mandatory employee excercise

If they aren't doing their job, you can fire them.

But a smoker isn't. . .they, by virtue of their smell and often their public display, are failing to represent my place of business, which represents health and wellbeing.

Here's your cardboard box. I expect your stuff in it by 5 p.m.

We actually had this issue come up years ago. We had an assistant who puffed on cigarettes outside our door during breaks and lunch hour as traffic passed by and gawked at us. My partner was the "heavy" at the time, becuase he signed her paycheck, and we didn't specifically give that reason, just told her she wasn't catching on to the billing, but you can bet she was dismissed probably mostly because of that nasty habit. That was the consensus of 2 other doctors in the practice besides him.

You can try to change Corporate America/small business or try to change yourself, I guess.

That's one that should be handled at the time of hiring. Do you smoke? Sorry, we don't hire smokers. Do you use drugs? Sorry, we don't hire drug addicts.

Actually, I agree - it's fuzzy why she was hired in the first place - he kinda knew her, that sort of thing.

Not as easy as you think. If the person has any kind of minority status, and the person was not caught blatantly stealing or found to be completely incompetent, the onus is on the employer is justify the firing.

My employer could fire me today for any reason. Maybe they don't like my socks or the look on my face or my haircut or whatever. It isn't very often that someone is going to file a suit and win. Employment is at the courtesy of the employer.
As for a smoker, if they smell like smoke, then you warn them that is not acceptable. If they continue to smoke on a break and smell like smoke, you fire them. You can fire whomever you wish. That still doesn't give you license into my personal life or control over my personal life. You have control over your business and whom you hire for the extent that they are on your watch and that's it.
