Sweden: Marie-Louise Ekholm, a doctor, Moderate party member and Nässjö council member, has formally proposed that council employees who don't smoke be given an extra day of holidays.
Ekholm says that non-smokers take less sick days, fewer breaks, and are not as much of a drain on society and deserve rewards beyond better health.
Ekholm previously created a storm of controversy by blaming a significant increase in sexually transmitted diseases amongst Swedish young people on 'loose' sexual attitudes in society.
