The World Health Organisation has stopped employing smokers as part of its drive to curb tobacco use. All vacancy notices now state the UN health agency does not promote tobacco use or recruit smokers, a spokesman said.
Job applicants will be asked if they smoke or use other tobacco products. If they reply "yes", they will be shown the door.
There will be no penalties for existing staff who smoke. Asked whether WHO would soon stop hiring obese people or those drinking alcohol, spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said the agency needs to align its employment practices with its principles.

Hello I must say this is a very nice blog you have here and the comments are very interesting as well. Being an internet afficionado I am constantly seeking out new sources of information like this one. While I am currently doing some research, I would also like to intimate the readers of this blog about the ongoing drive to sell out the internet to the big communications companies. I am part of a pressure group that would appreciate it if readers would help spread the word about this so we can maintain the intergrity of the internet as a free resource for the world. Thanks for helping to spread the word and being a resource for my work. Cheers and keep up the good work.
