A company can determine to not hire you for ANY REASON whatsoever (save for a few protected reasons, see Title VII and the ADEA).
So, for example, if you ever smoked cigarettes, they can choose not to hire you.
Thus, if they ask, whilest you are strapped to a lie detector test, "have you ever smoked a cigarette?" and you have, you are fucked, unless you can fool the test/tester.
End of story. This is neither a legal, nor a moral issue.
