  I just went out with the smokers when they were taking smoke breaks. I only ever got shit about it from two bosses and everyone else backed me up so they dropped the issue.

    I’m pretty sure that legally they can’t discriminate against you and deny you extra breaks just for not smoking, because otherwise there they are saying that smokers need (as in absolutely require) more breaks than non-smokers, and therefore saying that smokers are protected class, which obviously they’re not and gets into a whole quagmire.

    I would love someone to try and litigate this.

  This is what I miss about using an ecig. Even if you get given the same breaks as a smoker, what are you going to do, sit inside? Then people will still bug you.

  But as a smoker you get to go outside, the smoke smells horrible to non-smokers so the number of people who can bug you is reduced (Moreso now since less people are smoking), and that break can truely be a ‘turn off brain from work’ sort of break.

    Were you smoking your e-cigarette inside? what a dick move. Please absolutely do feel free to go outside, I know more want to smell like blueberry raspberry then I want to smell like smoke.
