[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not in HR so take this FWIW, but I think it would be fine to say "I don't drink soda/coffee/whatever, but I like your other products x, y, and z." It's not like you're saying, "No, I prefer Coke." If you were interviewing for a job at Phillip Morris, I'm sure they wouldn't hold it against you if you say you don't smoke.[/quote] I had a friend who worked at Reynolds and did not smoke. It wasn't a problem that she didn't smoke, except for her -- because tons of other people did and no areas were non-smoking (for obvious reasons, I suppose). She said meetings were awful and she always wound up nauseous after any meeting lasting more than 30 mins because of all the smoke in the air. I imagine this is less likely for just about any other product, since someone else chowing down on Doritos or Coke doesn't affect you the way smoke does. Still, something to consider. [/quote]
