The World Health Organisation has stopped employing smokers as part of its drive to curb tobacco use. All vacancy notices now state the UN health agency does not promote tobacco use or recruit smokers, a spokesman said.
Job applicants will be asked if they smoke or use other tobacco products. If they reply "yes", they will be shown the door.
There will be no penalties for existing staff who smoke. Asked whether WHO would soon stop hiring obese people or those drinking alcohol, spokeswoman Fadela Chaib said the agency needs to align its employment practices with its principles.
