The number of breaks allotted to those who smoke was not the point.

I moved into my own place to get away from habitual smokers, yet I’m forever doing laundry to get someone else’s smoke out of my clothes.

I love running into people like you. Cream of the crop.

I’m sorry but comparing coffee/tea to nicotine is like comparing OTC Tylenol to illegally obtained OxyContin.

Anything that gives workers more breaks is good.

You’ve got me there; lung cancer and heart disease do make for irrefutable excuses to cut out.

Anyway, my complaint was more about the smell of smoke and how it lingers on clothes and in the air for nonsmokers. It wasn’t mentioned in-post, but I’m constantly hearing wet coughs as well, which is both disruptive to my workflow and is just gross (especially in a post-pandemic work environment where people refuse to even cover their mouths or use sanitizer anymore).

I love when people downvote a logical response simply because they don’t agree with it.

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that OP isn’t exactly well liked by their colleagues…

I’m not nearly insecure enough to need the validation of other people to function; that’s a weak disease.
