Lifestyle discrimination in the workplace & its implications Michelle Wang

Lifestyle discrimination Discrimination because of conduct and behaviors off the job Smoking not hiring smokers/nicotine screenings Being overweight “voluntary” health assessments

Who is affected? People of color are targeted by these forms of lifestyle discrimination in the workplace Rhetoric surrounding discrimination Who smokes? What it means to be “healthy” Biopower Source: Center for Disease Control

conclusion Discrimination against smokers and the overweight in the workplace is not about concern for employees’ health People of color are disproportionately impacted by these lifestyle discriminations There are better determinants of health than whether one smokes or what one eats Social determinants of health
