Cigarette break
Most workplaces have banned smoking in the UK, but lighting up is often still permitted, as long as you go outside, which means smokers get more breaks!
When I was a smoker I would probably have 4-5 cigarette breaks a day, which added about 30 minutes to my break allowance, but nobody complained as long as I smoked in the dedicated smoking corner of the carpark.
Then I gave up smoking and what would people say if I took three or four 5-10 minute breaks outside of normal breaktime now? Nothing?
If you want to smoke, do it in your own time, and don't forget to think of the non-smoking employees at your local pub!

Absobloodylutely.
Half an hour a day is another 15 days a year I could add to MY life... to spend dancing in the rain.
Dr.Fil: I changed the part of my lifestyle that 'needed' to smoke. If the will is strong enough there is a way. Good luck!
I actually do take "non smoking" breaks through my day, I sit and read the newspaper, or draw or do a soduko puzzle, it helps me stay more focus and over all more productive then I would have just sitting in front of the computer all day. Sometime when I'm stuck on a project I go outside of the building for 10 minus and then when I get back I have a fresh way of looking at the problems and finding a solution.
I think it probably wouldn't work at any line of job, but that it would help almost everyone no matter what line of work they are in, especially if you have to get creative.
You reformed smokers are the worst. Always hating what you really want ;).
I never smoked and I just go outside with the smokers when I want a break. Let them try and complain about it.
