[Just another Joe]

It is a shame that the GM smokers will now have to work a full shift like their non-smoking co-workers. I just hate that the smokers will not be able to spend 40% of the work day smoking outside on a loading dock in the alley while discussing Nascar, Mullets, Ho Ho's and Britney Spears.

Bull hockey!
If you have to stop in the middle of a job to go take a smoke you better be worried because you ARE addicted.
I work a full day just like any of my coworkers. If I have time to take my allotted 15 minute break why are you going to bitch because I go outside and have a smoke? I take no more than my 15 minutes.

Exactly, Joe!

When I worked and was busy, I didn't even THINK about smoking. Once work slowed down, I was able to run outside to have a quick break. What the hell is wrong with that!

I don't know where these people work where their smokers stand outside and smoke all day. To that I say: there is not enough work to keep them busy!

Bull Hockey.
Never in the entire history of smoking has a smoker ever taken just 15 minutes during break. Floods, Riots, Fires, Famine, or Meteors have not been able to stop smokers from smoking 40% of the work day away. Don't play coy with me buddy. I am out there and I see in the recessions of dark depressed buildings, smokers huddled in despair while trying aimlessly to appear as if they have a viable reason to be milling about in the alley.
