IT is legal but its also optional. Yes it is, its private information about your life and they cant ask you those types of things such as your Sexuality, its like Dont ask, dont tell.

Answer2: It may or may not be legal for them to ask but they have their reasons for asking. If they ask, I suggest you tell the truth. Notice the following information: Smoking is costly, not only to smokers but also to their employers and to nonsmokers, according to Professor Kari Reijula of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health. Work time lost to smoking breaks alone "costs the national economy nearly 16.6 million euros [$21 million] a year," reports the Finnish Broadcasting Company Web site. It is estimated that "workers who smoke one pack of cigarettes a day miss the equivalent of 17 working days annually." Sick leave adds to the bill. Reijula further notes: "Studies show that employees who smoke also have higher accident rates." In addition, according to the report, smoking increases costs for cleaning as well as for electricity use, "since ventilation must be kept at maximum power." More serious is the fact that "as many as 250 non-smoking Finns annually die from diseases linked to exposure to second-hand smoke at work or in their free time."fr Awake magazine on Jehovah's Witnesses official website.

It is not legal for a job application to ask you personal details such as this. It is not the business of your employer if you drink alcohol.
