Lung cancer kills far and away more people then any other cancer in this country.
It also causes coronary artery disease, which kills even more people than cancer each year.
And I'm curious as to why you get extra breaks during the day to smoke. Do you think you deserve time off to pursue your habits? Consider yourself lucky. If you worked for a hard ass like me, you'd get no special priveleges, and if you got bitchy about it I would fire you. Then you could stay home and smoke all you wanted.

Exactly, what entitles them to waste more time at work and get paid for it? What if I was hooked on crack (or phonics for that matter), should I get numerous paid breaks to feed my habit while others are doing the work I'm being paid to do?
And just because you're outside doesn't mean the smoke doesn't offend someone, if someone is smoking in a car 3 cars up at a red light I will quite often smell it.
Not only is it unhealthy, the smoke is irritating smelling, tasting, and irritating to the eyes... And not to mention, just overall disgusting.
I often house sit for smokers, and I don't necessarily notice the smell right away when I am there, but I will smell it in my clothes after I leave, and my eyes will get sore and I will get headaches...
When I was younger, my parents had friends over who often smoked... I found the no smoking sign on the computer, printed out, and posted it up in the kitchen where they used to converse... Since then no one has smoked in the house, it used to come right upstairs to where my room was.
What are the redeeming factors of smoking?
