145. Being overweight is not a "protected class " either.
If you are good at your job, your appearance or what you do (legally) on your off hours is none of your employer's business, period. This is not about being "protected" etc. It is not about "endangering" (which is ludicrous) people.

No employer is forced to give people "smoke breaks" but they are required to furnish breaks for all employees depending on the length of shift. If you have objections to people taking extra breaks on company time, feel free to complain to your boss.
