@nazgul @joelcrump I think some of these people were too young to remember when employers started firing people who smoked cigarettes off the clock. That was only in 2008 or 2009.

Joel looks old enough to remember 2008.
Right around that time I also knew people who had their credit card limits slashed in half by the banks because they shopped where poor people shopped. They went to Walmart, and that made Bank of America think they might default on their credit line so they would slash it in half. And it was upsetting for these people because they were in the middle of home renovations or trying to plan a vacation or something.

To play devils advocate here, you want to give up your freedom (to smoke a cigarette or shop at Walmart) so that you can make a doctors appointment with a smart phone?
