In isolation, this is fine but if this is a harbinger of things to come, it seems quite problematic. Tobacco use is extremely strongly correlated with schizophrenia and while this would be difficult to ascertain, likely schizotypy spectrum (most of whom would be undiagnosed) as well. This may not be an ADA violation per se, but it seems to have that type of effect.

Edit: Wouldn't this potentially fall under disparate impact?
- chapium 7y agoI guess you'll have to get a prescription for cigarettes then.
- derefr 7y agoI sometimes wonder what a society would look like where everyone who is currently self-medicating for an illness using a recreational drug, was instead able to have easy access to a cheap prescribed drug for that illness with fewer side-effects. Would things like alcohol and tobacco even be popular any more?
