To date there have been185 comments...184 do not support the proposed amendments; granted some are far-fetching, but most have reasonable and substantive logic for not only opposing the proposed amendment, moreover rescinding the the standard.

I too oppose the proposed amendment and think the standard should be rescinded.  While I do believe the Board acted in good faith (and under political pressure), it is not an employer's duty (regulatory or otherwise) to govern public health issues.  An employer can be a good resource for promoting healthy choices, but the line is drawn there.   

There are many unanswered questions relative to how an employer can implement most of the measures contained in the standard without violating employee privacy laws, creating hostile workplaces, HIPAA violations, various anti-discrimination laws, etc.
