    A friend of mine started smoking because it was the only way to take regular breaks from his construction job.

      I just went out with the smokers when they were taking smoke breaks. I only ever got shit about it from two bosses and everyone else backed me up so they dropped the issue.

      This is what I miss when I switched to an ecig. Even if you get given the same breaks as a smoker, what are you going to do, sit inside? Then people will still bug you.

      But as a smoker you get to go outside, the smoke smells horrible to non-smokers so the number of people who can bug you is reduced (Moreso now since less people are smoking), and that break can truely be a ‘turn off brain from work’ sort of break.
