Back when I did smoke at work (I've been trying to quit and not smoking at work is one of my first steps), I'd guess that I spent less time outside smoking (maybe 3 or 4 cigarettes from the time I came until until I left) than most of my co-workers spent hanging around in the kitchen area making and drinking cofee, and yakking.

Back when I was a young kid I used to work for a company that allowed "smoke breaks", but nothing else (don't ask me why). I used to bust my #$%^ for 10 hours per day, with a half hour for lunch (maybe), and I remember the "smoke breaks" of 5-10 minutes ever hour that the smokers got. They didn't work any harder than us the other 50 minutes, and didn't get paid any less. Being a smoker back then entitled you actually get frequent breaks, while having someone "cover for them".

I always thought it was odd, but those were different times.

I will say this once again: Those smokers were more than happy to smoke at their desks while working. They were forced to take breaks by people like you. If they had designated smoking offices, they would never need to take a break.

And you dare to complain, because people like you forced them to take breaks?

Please step back and look at this logic....
