Yeah, walking a few hundred feet and taking a few minutes to light up eats up the bulk of an hour.
I put in extra time at work just to keep anal jerks from using that argument with me.
I don’t see anybody timing how long people people are in the john or how often they go.
I don’t see anybody timing the quantity and frequency of coffee breaks.

I thought is was FaceBook and Angry Birds.
HR timed it, and on average it was just about 30 minutes. This seems like half-time to me.

At that facility, you would have needed to work 16 hours per day to have the same number of working hours as a non-smoker.

At most large companies, HR can tell you the average number of minutes per hour spent on sanitary breaks, coffee and snack breaks, etc. It is part of their job. It is about the same for smokers and non-smokers. A significant difference is that smokers tend to combine any kind of break with a smoke break also.
The real fact is that with modern rules, i.e. no smoking inside, smokers are less productive than non-smokers. It is one of those non-PC facts, that smokers always want to burry, but it is coming to the fore again.
