South Korean company takes tough no smoking message
South Korean steelmaker Posco has sent its employees a tough anti smoking message and may require them to take blood tests to check if they have kicked the smoking habit.
Company officials said that CEO Chung Joon-yang wants Posco, which employs 16,000 people, to be smoke-free by the end of year. Chung says the company may conduct blood tests to determine whether they have really given up smoking tobacco.
The company’s union and the Health Ministry have welcomed the smoking campaign.
A spokesman at the Constitutional Court, Noh Hee-bum, says the move could violate South Korea’s Constitution, which guarantees the people’s right to seek happiness.
