On one of my previous jobs, I had a supervisor who would constantly take a smoke break in addition to any breaks allotted by the company. If I wanted to use the bathroom, I was constantly told by her to "hold it until your break."

Why do they deserve more breaks? I'm not the one who developed an addiction.

The extra breaks is to make up for their shorter lifespan

But really no, someone should not get an extra break just because they enjoy harming themselves

they don't deserve -extra- breaks, but everyone should have 10-15 minute "smoke breaks" that they could use to smoke if they so wish

I work at a state university and in this day and age there is no smoking anywhere on campus, even if you are outside. So it really doesn't exist where I work anymore. But that was definitely a thing back in the day. I never smoked, but I didn't care about the ones who did and took a smoke break. Never really directly impacted me in my job.

No, but everyone should have more breaks.

I'd rather even it out by giving everyone else more than just taking away from the smokers.

No, but can we talk about your supervisor stopping you from taking a toilet break? That shit is an abuse.

You wouldn't have breaks at all were it not for smokers. Thank a smoker today.

Fuck no.
I smoke and go my entire day at work without smoking.
As soon as I leave I have one in the car.

Thankfully, fewer and fewer companies have smoke breaks.

I've yet to meet the supervisor that could make me not go to the restroom if I needed it.

Having to ask to perform a bodily function should have ended past elementary school, just another way workers get treated like children.

Also this topic reminds me: do you guys over there not get 2x 15 minute 1x 30/45/1hr break? That's just normal for where I live lol. Smokers got us an hour for lunch and two 15 minutes.

Smokers would take breaks at random to smoke at my first job, so I started doing same, even though I don't smoke. When they asked where I was, I said I was on a smoke break. They got the idea.
