"I know this confession will more or less creates some kind of disagreement, but it really seems that smokers have the 'privilege' of having more breaks compared to the non-smokers.
"From my experience, some smokers, especially in the Food and Beverage (F&B) industry, tend to have more breaks compared to the non-smokers.
"Sometimes, they would go off for 10 to 15 minutes for a “short smoking break” every hour or two, which can add up to an hour of break in a day.
"Adding that to the hour-long meal break they are entitled to everyday, they will have an additional hour of break.
"As a non-smoker, I do not think it is fair for the non-smokers who do not have an excuse to take a 'short break'.
"What’s worst is that some of these smokers are actually the superiors like restaurant managers or supervisors.
"I, mean to be fair, some interns or workers get lesser pay but they actually do the same amount of work, or even more, compared to those who smoke."Why can’t everyone just be fair?
"So, will companies like to see their workers become smokers so that they can have that 'smoking breaks' too?"
