Re: Smoking ban......(Hmmmm)
 
I usually roll my own and have a similar trait when it comes to smoking.
Yesterday I bought an actual pack of ciggies, I tell you what, smoking ready made makes it so much easier to chain smoke, I'm sticking with roll ups from now on, much healthier.

Nope, I have a whole WWW to search and nothing but time to search it in. Tell Graham that is about as serious as I get.

I used to work with a smoker, when he went on a smoke break I went with him for a passive smoke break

Most folk waste time in one way or another at work , the difference is smokers are targetted because of social stigma (and the ease in proving they are not working). :D
Besides they might stay in the office later to finish work off, they may skip lunch... There are numerous times when we all work extra time and it is not noted. And I've seen non-smokers take 10 minutes to go to the bog :eek:
Some folk are lazy other aren't so.:D

I don't really value statistics from anyone(however reputable the source) unless I can see the criteria for inclusion into the study, and also who commissioned the study and why it was commissioned.
Most studies are commissioned by bodies who want to show that their theories are true...and then the criteria and questions are formulated to reflect the outcome that was wanted by the commissioners.

These facts have to be borne in mind when looking at statistics.
In my book statistics are just another way to bamboozle and lie.


Research has show that folk will believe anything long as it's been researched ;)

Do you mean
A/server space?
Or
B/space that could be used for a survey?

If A/ then no they don't nothing I post wastes server space, your the one that does that.

If B/ then no the only surveys that waste space are the polls C'mon & kestrelx sometimes start their threads with.
;)

Well, sometimes the staff who worked on my unit worked many hours over their time - but then it was all staff that did that not just the smokers.
I have to say that on the whole I had a good bunch of lasses working alongside me...and they could be called upon to come in at short notice(even those with young children)......so I don't think any of them could be classed as lazy....there were times when they just needed a fag.

I've heard of folk suggest they should start smoking to get more breaks :eek:.
(personally i think they thought that they were missing out on the "smokers gossip") :D.
I use to work with a women that use to take a half hour (unauthorised) "rest bite" in the afternoon just because she assumed smokers were outside "fagging it" for 10mins every other hour.
My point is there is a stigma attached to smokers because a lot of folk think "their all at it".
Your comment strengthens my suspicions that a smokers production isn't really effected by said fag breaks (in some cases it can actually improve their production).

Did the non-smokers get a similar kind of deal, pehaps if they need a brew they can just nip off to the canteen.
