Nicotine Addiction as a Disability

Published

An employee was terminated due to insubordination (he was smoking in front of customers).

He now claims he is being discriminated against due to a disability - nicotine addiction.

Is there any literature that supports that nicotine addiction falls into the same medical disability as alcohol or drug addictions?

I believe it's the filing of frivolous lawsuits these days in the United States that is the real disability. Of the MENTAL variety.

Just MHO.
