Receptionist at cancer center says she was fired for reeking of smoke

Stephanie Cannon swears she didn't break any "No Smoking" policy, but her former employer thought the stale smell of Camels on her clothes was a violation. Cannon, a pack-a-day smoker, says she was fired from her job as a receptionist at (irony!) a Saint Louis Park, Minn., hospital's cancer center because she smelled like smoke. Cannon tried to minimize the odor, keeping her air-freshener-sprayed work clothes in a plastic bag, but that wasn't enough. Minnesota law says smoking on your own time can be an issue if your employer considers it "an occupation-related hazard." Even though the hospital tried to help Cannon quit, she's talking to an attorney. She's not ready to kick those butts yet — just the hospital’s. [Source]
