This summer I started working in a small size company. It employs around 25 people. The owner of the company who is also my boss has a rule that he doesn't employ people who smoke.
I'm a smoker. During the job interview I was asked if I smoke and I answered that I don't.
Shortly after starting working I realized that there are some other employees in the company that also happen to smoke.



My questions are:
Does the employer have a right to say that they do not employe people who smoke?
Moreover, does the employer have a right to fire me once he will discover that I happen to smoke?
What is the best way to talk with employer about this issue?
