hours

People who smoke at work should have to work longer days. If you can take 10 min off every hour or two to go outside and huffle puffle, then let me blow your house down and say that you need to work an extra hour every day. I'm sure there is some silly law forbidding employers to ask if you are a smoker and make sure you work a full 8 hours, but what about the unwritten rules regarding full work days? Companies must be wicked trustworthy with their employees. I know I (and everyone and their mother) check personal email/shop/facebook/blog/read the news during the work day, but to an extent. I know smokers puff and do all of the above too, AND smoke up a storm. I suppose just as long as the work gets done, its all fine and good... But still, its food for thought.



So, can I start leaving an hour early and call it my "cigarette break"?
