I said that tobacco users are LESS productive and there is a mountain of evidence to back that up. I have yet to see any study that says they are MORE productive. If you can find such a study please post it. By your own admission you spend about 15 minutes a day getting high, that is 1.25hrs per week or 62.5hrs( 50 work weeks per annum, this allows for 2 weeks vacation) per year of productivity down the drain because of your drug cravings and lack of concern for your own health and well being.

Yep,the productivity of smokers sucks.
Look at FDR and Churchill,slackers,both and them, and God knows how we won the war with all those nasty GI's puffing away.
I don't know why I wasn't fired for being a smoker,they promoted me instead.
It's a puzzlement.

I guess it depends on the job and your work environment. If you refuse to hire smokers, you would have not hired Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Sigmond Freud, Alexander Bell, Sir Isaac Newton, Carl Sagan, Bob Hope, George Burns, John Wayne, Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), Donald Trump, Davey Crockett, Neil Armstrong, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Martin Van Buren, William Harrison, Ulysses Grant, Herbert Hoover, Franklin Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, Dwight Eisenhower, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, Fiorella LaGuardia, Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, John Pershing, and Antonin Scalia, to name a few unproductive people.
