The problem here is that you are, in fact, paying him to smoke. I would go to the registrar of the school and ask that the cost of the class be decreased by the 10 minutes that are being missed and see what they say. Two hours in not too long to sit in a class without a break, in fact, it's the perfect length and if his addiction is too strong for that, then I pity him if he ever has to fly ANYWHERE because no flight is going to last less than 2 hours, and he will not be able to smoke on any airline that I know of.
I agree with your take on it, it's pathetic. It's not his choice, it's his problem, and probably, if I dare say, his weakness, and everyone in that class is paying for that. It is pathetic.
Peace,
Pierre
