Re “Price for a puff? $520,” Nov. 18: Premier Health Partners wants to assess a surcharge on health care benefits not only their for employees who smoke, but for any employee who lives with smokers. This is a slippery slope to total invasion of the privacy of people who don’t even work for them. No federal funds should go to any agency that has a policy this invasive.

This war on smokers in our society is getting out of hand, as smoking is still a legal and heavily taxed activity.

No one has a right to know what you or others who live with you do in the privacy of your home.
