I disbelieve that most people do what you do. What you do shows an enormous work ethic that I know 90% of the people (smokers included) do not have.

BTW, do you include travel time in your 5 minute smoke break estimation?

I agree with you about the disappearing work ethic in America across all groups...but since I'm 55 and grew up when that was still being taught, I manage to stay ahead of the slackers.

The 5 minutes I mention includes 1 minute each way for travel and a 3 minute "power smoke"...a technique developed by those of us in the shunned class.

I'm sure there are smokers out there who don't take 30 minute lunches to make up for their smoke breaks, but there are plenty of non-smokers out there who sit around in each others cubicals and chew the fat, so it all evens out.
