I'm with Ninj, and frankly anyone who comes on here hasn't a leg to stand on regarding timewasting at work!!! I'm not saying I agree with employers paying to "help" us, but I'm more than a little sick of the endless politically-correct attacks on smokers. It's no-one's business but our own! No offence though sweet cheeks... Well as you said Jules everyone wastes times at work. Be it the little 10 minute chats you have with everyone you meet, or using your office phone, to phone mates/family/uncle tom cobbly and all. The little bit of personnal scanning/photocopying/surfing the net. However none of these activities can be considered to be hazardous to your own health or to anyone elses. If you had someone with drink problem or heroin habit in your office, you wouldn't be happy if every so often they disappeared outside for a swig or to shoot up. I have nothing against smokers or smoking personally, but I do see the arguement!!

I'm not band-wagon jumping at all. I've seen first hand the effects of cancer on a family. And I think your all daft for doing it. Agreed Yeah fair enough you two... I on the other hand am stupidly risking my health with a false sense of security partly because my grand-dad smoked for years, quit at 60 and lived to 94. His brother quit at 88 cos his pension wouldn't cover it anymore and lived to 100. I know it's like playing Russian Roulette but that thought still gives me some comfort...

'If you had someone with drink problem or heroin habit in your office, you wouldn't be happy if every so often they disappeared outside for a swig or to shoot up.' I would. Spice it up a bit, I always suspected a teacher of mine at college has heroin habit.

Ok I'll modify what said; 'If you had someone with drink problem or heroin habit in your office, you wouldn't be happy if every so often they disappeared outside for a swig or to shoot up. Unless of course you're differently adjusted like LL!!' ;D

More seriously though I am aware that under health and safety rules you theoretically have to take a ten minute break every two hours if you use a computer. Now as far as I'm concerned whether you spend that time having a smoke outside or making a cup of camomile tea makes no difference whatever. Unless you think that minute amounts of fag smoke could accidentally be swept up by the wind, in through the window of the office block way above, somehow get into the air-conditioning and poison every last miserable worker perhaps...

Ten minutes every hour, actually I have no problem with smokers taking fag breaks; it's just the talk of them going off for support group sessions during work hours - as noted earlier, there's a difference between a ten minute break and two hours

Why does anyone care? I don't get this, unless your a manager managing a highly time efficient company I wouldn't give a green monkey on a Sunday about how you waste time at work. It don't matter what you do as long as you hoo-chi-coo, do what you want to do.
