I'll go along with the no on this one, just think about this - how grumpy would the managers be if you didn't allow them to smoke anymore :chuckle and it i only the managers that can smoke anymore, the rest of us just don't have the time :roll:

Trouble with that is they don't take it off their meal relief- it's an excuse to skive.

I don't smoke....
I don't like the smell of smokers ( breath & clothes )
I think its a bad health habit

But its a free country
And if people want to do it in an open space without blowing smoke in my face then I defend their right to excersize free will

We don't want a police state

:hmmmm If you are worried about polluting the atmosphere then you might have to get rid of 10,000 smokers to cancel out one car user :shhhhh Don't know how many kids get run over by roll ups each year so can't comment on that aspect :chuckle

So are you serious about being allowed to go for a smoke, when you're not on an official break? :shock:
They stopped us doing that, a long time ago!

It happens in my office all the time.

It's not the same as going to the toilet; you don't have to smoke. If I went to the toilet as often as the some of my colleagues smoke I'd be getting my prostate checked out by my doc.
