Subject: [data-protection] Do you smoke? Part II
A couple of comments seem to infer that the general consensus i.e. that this
is NOT sensitive data, would be different dependent on the purpose for which
the data were obtained.
Not sure I agree with this, but here's a little more background.
The question is asked as part of a survey on people's cognitive powers. The
possibility exists (yet to be statistically proven) that smoking has a
negative impact on your 'brain power', perhaps physiologically linked in
some way. Given that this is part of the purpose for asking the question,
would anyone change their mind?
