If smokers manage to quit for a year they can also claim the holiday benefit

Mr Bryden calculated that if smokers at his business are taking three 10-minute smoke breaks every day of the week, it adds up to over 16 days every year. “The way he sees it, it’s discriminating against non-smokers not to do this,” said Mr Hackett. “It’s not great when you’re sat at your desk and the smokers can get up and take a break and you’re just sat there.”and the Centre for Economics and Business Research estimated that smoking breaks cost British businesses £8.

Now just waiting for the smokers to goto HR saying this is discrimination!

Wish my employer would give the non smokers an extra four days off a year?

Too bloody right!!!

👊🏻✨

I hope non parents get extra time off for not having to take time off looking after sick children too...

And non drinkers of alcohol get how many days?

wunderbar ....

Sounds fair enough to me.

How backward is this company's culture to equate chair-sitting with productivity ?

Plus I don't take cigarette breaks but all the non-smokers disappear off for hours on their coffee breaks plus take weeks of sickness every year, but, yeah, smokers are the 👿 🙄

Agree with this one, where I worked smokers/vapers were given two breaks of 45 minutes to smoke/vape a day. They also got a free course on how to stop smoking lasting two days every year - as far as I know it was treated as a skive, no-one even tried to give up.

Do they offer help for those who wish to quit and failed? Or just judgment ?

Now compare it to sick days smokers also require in comparison to non-smokers.
