I feel the same way about businesses who post "no guns" signs. Its silly and accomplishes nothing good, but it is their business.

I'll work somewhere else and I'll shop somewhere else.
Yup. Stupid policy but a private company should be able to be stupid if they want to.

On the other hand, maybe it all boils down to some sort of non-discrimination and not wanting to pay the cig smokers for a 5 minute cigarette break every 30 minutes. I could understand that.
