Instituting Tobacco-Free Employee Policies: An Invasion of Privacy or an Employer’s Legal Right?

Rising health care costs are causing some employers to assess and regulate the health behaviors of their employees. Different approaches and levels of non-smoking regulations are discussed, and the legal parameters and challenges of regulating employees’ private behaviors are explored.

Two devices, each of which measure water velocity; on the right is an acoustic device that is permanently maintained at Gumbo Limbo by PI Rene Price; on the left is a 3D camera with a long fiberoptic lens, deployed for testing purposes by collaborator Evan Variano.
