I know a few people here that easily take 1-2 hours a day smoking.

If I wanted to play a video game for that amount of time, I bet I'd be scoffed at.

it's actually one of the reasons i started smoking. i was waiting tables, all the smokers got 5 minute breaks here and there. when i wanted a 5 minute break to get some fresh air, i was told no. i went out and held a lit cigarette, bad news. when i worked in dc, although i was still smoking, i would only smoke during my lunch hour. i don't smoke anymore

So interesting. I mean, I'm of the opinion that if you wanna' do it, it's your funeral provided you don't infringe upon non-smokers. I just think that smokers are given a free pass at work (at least here).

Matty, definitely noticed that at my last job. I mean what do you say considering it's something that's widely accepted in the workplace?
