Con-pilot,
Don't be daft. You cannot fire / not hire people because they don't want to work in a workplace full of smoke, not in the UK anyway.

Not being daft
Phil, I was not talking about UK owned aircraft and my post stands as is.
If you apply for a job, you know before hand that the owner is a smoker and does smoke in his aircraft, would you accept the job and then demand that the owner not smoke in his own aircraft?
If so, do you feel that this is fair?
And just how are you going to force someone to hire you? Can people force employment in the UK, in other words, can you force someone to hire you? If so, that's pretty draconian.
Like I posted, if you do not like being around smoke, don't take the job. It is that simple. Fly for someone else.
