Hysteria is Job One

A German publisher has banned all its employees from smoking -- at home or anywhere. Eitmann-Verlag -- home of titles that translate, more or less, as "Actively against passive smoke - models for the execution of non-smoker rights on a medical and juristic base" and "Non-smoker rights - passive smoke victims in Germany" -- says the voluntary anti-smoking contracts merely reflect the company's values.

"All we want is employees who support what we do," the business manager/author explains.

Here's hoping the company never branches out into alcoholism or sexually transmitted disease.
