    Nursing has a high rate of obesity as well.

    I actually know more than couple of nurses who're strippers and chain smoke. They said they'd do drugs but they if they ever applied for the nursing job (stripping is while they're looking), they will have to get tested.

    tl;dr: who the hell cares

    Because they want cancer so someone can look after them instead?

    I don't know if this is elsewhere but, in my state, there is one Hospital that does not allow smoking on or off duty. If it's discovered that person smokes, they are fired.

    edit for correction: it was a new hire policy. if you are just bored out of your mind...read it. http://www.thv11.com/news/article/175920/2/Searcy-hospital-adopts-new-hiring-policy-banning-smokers

    Even if I was bored out of my mind, I'd still take your word for it.

    You can't relate to your patients if you don't know what they're going through. It's a sacrifice and compassion thing.

    Smoking *kitten* is wrong. It should be illegal. They deserve to live as much as anyone else.

    You do realize that is more a reflection on you and the people you know rather than nurses in general.
