Is this legal?

I saw this posted on a hiring website:

"Effective Sept 1, 2007, Cleveland Clinic will no longer hire tobacco users."

Is this enforceable? Legal? Ethical?

Good question! Is this?

If you're planning to apply for a job with the city of Bozeman, Mont., be prepared to hand over much more than your references and resume. The Rocky Mountain city instructs all job applicants to divulge their user names and passwords for "any Internet-based chat rooms, social clubs or forums, to include, but not limited to: Facebook, Google, Yahoo, YouTube.com, MySpace, etc."
