"scientific" observation

It occured to me today that the smokers in most ofices are probably healthier and more productive than the none. I draw this conclusion from the multiple times they get up and walk around as they venture outside to partake in their break ritual. Not only are they getting more exercise by walking to th smoking area, but since these are located outside, they are also getting more fresh air. Thay also become more productive by setting personal dealines in order to get to their smoke break. I am going to start smoking in order to catch up to them. :P

Don't worry, you'll catch up to them when they die and you're still alive.

Yes and they get extra breaks to smoke, and you have to stay and work. One time I asked if I could borrow a cigarette and pretend to smoke so I could have the extra breaks also. They told me that they needed someone to wait on the customers while they were out smoking, so no. Everyone smoked but me.

And don't forget cigarettes are an entirely vegetable product so they count towards your five a day.

You sound like the guy that was condemming the smokers, said they were all going to hell, he got so excited he slipped
off the chair he was standing on and broke his neck.

Had a job like that once. Smokers took about 3, 10 minute breaks a day. Told my boss I was taking the same. He said "No." I said, "So, you're going to tell the other 7 that there will no longer be smoke breaks?" I got my breaks.
