Taking in about 5-10 minutes per hour for a smoke break (normally also a coffee break with it), adding up the hours in a day smoking on an averate 8 hours work day, do smokers make more than a non-smoker. I'm a software engineer and see it everywere in my profession, some taking more than 10 minutes for a smoke break several times per day in several companies that I have worked with. Subtracting from their hours worked, isn't it much less than the 8 hours work? (8 hours based on a 9 hour workday minus 1 hour lunch).

Technically they don't get paid more. They waste more company time than non-smokers. Lost productivity.

If you put it that way....I guess they do....Or, they definitely have more free time at work than non-smokers....Stinks to be a non-smoker, doesn't it?
