I am a non smoker but NOT an anti smoker.
I have worked with smokers who tried to quit. They were much better to work with when they smoked!
Smokers do get breaks and non smokers don't. If your a non smoker and you try to take a 'smoke' break you get in trouble.
This has to be a cover for something else.
Yeah, just try to take a walk break and see what happens. The smokers where I work have all the fun. They have a nice little covered pavilion with tables and chairs and get to sit around and visit with each other. They seem to be having a lot more fun than we nonsmokers who are chained to our desks.
