Smokers can be banned from applying for jobs

Smokers can be banned from applying for jobs, EU law chiefs ruled yesterday.

The ruling came in response to complaints over a job advertisement in Ireland stating: “Smokers need not apply.”

The ad which sparked the case was placed by Dublin-based call centre firm Dotcom Directories.

Director Philip Tobin said of the EU ruling: "I am very happy. Smokers do smell, the smell is offensive to me."
