Answer
Yes. Many employers consider it a liability since employees who smoke are often out on a smoke break and often have health related problems that cause an increase to health insurance.
As a Smoker
Perhaps the health related problems stem from being forced to go outside in the snow for a smoke break. I've taken one week of sick leave in the past five years and that was for a hernia operation.
