I am retired now, but at my workplace there was a very strong correlation with smokers and the subject matter experts who could make “impossible” things happen.

We got a _lot_ accomplished during smoke breaks—didn’t have to worry about managers knowing what we were up to.....which was making our jobs a lot easier by working smarter and not harder.

Once upon a time I suggested to HR that statistically if we wanted the most productive employees with the least amount of cost to the company we should hire only childless smokers and allow them to smoke at their desks.

Had the numbers to back it up.

I was not very popular in HR for a while.

I am one of those nasty folks who has outlived several doctors who told me stop smoking cigars.

I am determined to outlive a few more!
