Yes, 6 months in the Carribean paid. I might quit then.

Hello vix :) As I am a smoker then the answer is almost certainly no. The last thing I would want to be doing is sitting around at home twiddling my thumbs whilst craving a ciggie. The best way to get through it would be to keep yourself occupied and what better way to do that than to go to work.
And I suppose it would depend on whether or not you wanted to give up in the first place. Is addiction now an illness?

Only if equal time is given off to non smokers

If cigarette smokers have difficulty in giving this tax and profit making product up. Then the expense of quiting should be paid by the Governments, as they are the ones who are ripping off society by those heavy taxes of this unhealthy drug.

What would they do with that time? Think about how much they might like a cigarette? I suppose if they were desperate and looking at some sort of live-in treatment, FMLA might be useful.
I'd like time off so I can go running a more convenient time, but that's just not happening.

At the risk of sounding like a sanctimonious so and so, the answer would have to be no. why should they have time off for a social choice. if they are literate enough to read the multiple health warnings on the packets and assimilate the pics of doom and gloom on t.v, then they are adult enough to choose and face the consequences.
i'm sick and tired of our new namby pamby culture.

Why? I think working is keeping their minds and hands busy during the day. I couldn't have quit if I was not working.

Perhaps sick leave could be used for such things. Not special treatment that a non-smoker would not be given.
