This is how I, and everyone I know, started smoking.

Want a break at in work? You can have your legally mandated 15 minutes for every 8 hour shift.

Or you can become a smoker and get <10 minutes of every hour.

As an external employee that gets bought specifically to realize a project/idea/task I found out that smoking made it easier to connect to the employees there and exchange information/get help/whatever.

I only smoked there, after work when I got home, even on weekends, I did not smoke.

Yeah , smoking is a great bonding activity even more so now that you have designated smoking areas. It's the new third place.

And I only smoked at work at first too. Then it wasn't just at work...
