  smokers got breaks.

  When I quit smoking, I pretty much stopped going to parties, conventions, dance clubs, and concerts. Having an excuse to get out of the crowd and noise and decompress for ten minutes every couple of hours made “going out” so much more tolerable for me.

    Easy. Say you’re going for a smoke and then don’t actually smoke.

      You and your rational solutions… You are clearly not addicted.

        Yeah, chances are one day that’d lead to smoking again. Likely pretty quickly.

    Don’t forget the nicotine fix.

  I (also military) used to grab a cup of coffee and bring it out whenever the smokers went out (though I had to start doing half a cup, because the smokers took a lot of breaks).

  Then one chief established there would be no more “smoke breaks” for the smokers, but everyone would get regular breaks (and the smokers could take theirs outside). People (including the smokers who had been taking breaks all along) started making jokes about taking their “union mandated” breaks. And the smokers just went out twice as often.

  I’d rather smell like smoke than body odor after being in the field for a week or two with no showers.

    I never did any of that stuff, but after what they have to do, I can think of few things, that you could do as soon as you got back, that would be better than a cigarette.
