I don't have a problem with a sheriff not wanting to hire drug users, tobacco users included. Hirer medical cost and less productivity are good reasons.Think how many times the tobacco junkies have to go outside to get high and add all that time up.

Ooops, thats "higher medical cost"

Prove your comments about tobacco smokers.

Oh, you can't can you????

Think how many times the tobacco junkies have to go outside to get high and add all that time up.

I'm not even going to tear into your ignorant rant but rather I'm going to give you the situation of where I work.

I report for work at 7:30 a.m. and take a 4 1/2 minute smoke break at approximately 9:30 a.m. and another at 11:05 a.m.. As for the afternoon, I take another 4 1/2 minute break at 2:30 p.m.

A gal I work next to reports for work the same time as I, 7:30 a.m., chats with Kristen for approximately 20 minutes, calls her husband and chats for another 15 or so minutes, goes over to another girl's cube and chats for a number of minutes, goes back to her cube and calls up her daycare sitter and checks up on her new baby, then calls her mom and chats for uncounted minutes.

Once our call center phone lines go live at 9:00 a.m., she may or may not be available!

This crap goes on every single darn day with her and several other people I work with.

And so I am the pariah here simply because I spend 10 minutes outside of my cubicle every morning and another 5 or so minutes in the afternoon enjoying my smokes!

Don't hand me your crap that smokers are non-productive because of all the smokers I have ever had the enjoyment of working with they have been more productive than any nico-nazi I have ever come in contact with!!!
