  1. I don't think they do. Although these conditions may cause excessive absences, they don't do so for most people.

    I'm a heavy smoker, my daughter has lupus, and a good friend was obese. Yet, we are on the job far more than many other people without these conditions.

  2. so its not right for them to screen because even if you smoke, have a disease or are overweight then you can still do the job they should not base your preformance on you health conditions unless they get in the way of the job?
