Dear Representative Dunaskiss::
Hopefully, this letter will answer a q,uestion that you raised
at the Public Health subcommittee meeting, that was held in
Westland, on September 9, 1985.
Your question1was: "Whether it was legal to base a hiring
decision on whether or not a person smoked?"' The answer is
yes. Neither Michigan law, nor Federal law prohibits this
Dractice.
Specifically, Michigan law under MCLA 37. 2202' states :
Sec '202. (1) An employer shall not:
(a) Fail or refuse to hire, or recruit, or discharge,
or otherwise discriminate.against an individual with,
respect to employment, compensation, or a term, cond'i-
tion, or privilege of employment, because of reli ion,
rare color, nnational origin age, sex, hei ht, weig.ht,,
or marital status. (emphasis a e)-
Furthermore, Federal law does not prohibit basing a hiring,
decision on smoking either:
(a) Employers. It shall be an unlawful employment
practice for an employer--
(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any
individual, or otherwise to discriminate against
any individual with respect to his compensation,
terms, conditions, or privileges of employment,
because of such individual's race, color, religion,,
sex, or national origin;, ('emphasis added)

Gonseqwently, because neithcr iviichi.,-an nor Federal la:-r incLsdes
smoI:ino as a cha_-actcristic that cannot be u.sedl to base a1,
er_;plo.wment deci~sion on, an employer is ].eft with the ccr.= or. law
principle that allows one to: hire nonsrot;ers only if one prefers.
If you have~ any more: questions re;arding this~~ or oth~er i~s~s~ue~s~
