You favourite cigarette?

Perhaps, but I presume you are referring to giving up paying 'full price'

 

100 for £12.99, legally, in the UK.

I've seen them clock up an hour easy on a normal shift at our place, on a twelve hour shift almost two hours, its terrible.

 

Why don't you try the same, what could your boss say?

[sccsux]

you know how you'll eventually die, from smoking related illnesses!

 

So you're claiming every smoker will die of a smoking related illness, and no smoker will die of natural causes? Is ignorance your default setting?

Makes you wonder how they sleep at night (needing at least one cigarette per hour). I smoke, yet quite easily manage to get through a few hours a day without the need for breaks.

Perhaps this is a pointer to the future.

A WOMAN was sacked 45 minutes after starting her new job - because she was a smoker.

 

Shocked Sophie Blinman, 21, who puffs five to 10 cigarettes a day, was dismissed on the spot by bosses despite pledging not to light up in the office.

 

She raged: "I can't believe a business is allowed a policy against employing smokers. There are far more serious reasons not to employ people. I'm seeking legal advice."

 

Bosses at Dataflow Communications in Wells, Somerset, said: "If someone is found to smoke, even in their own time, they will not work for the company. Legally, we're entitled to do this. It's positive discrimination, and we're proud of it."

It's more of a pointer to the past - that news article is over 6 years old!

Were they cadging them off you all the time?

 

Smoking for one is expensive enough!

 

Nah they were too young, and more sensible than me:D

[Bonzo77]

The only good thing about smoking is that if you smoke, you know how you'll eventually die, from smoking related illnesses!

 

Nasty, vile habit! FACT! (IMO).

 

So untrue it's funny!!

 

There was a guy I used to work with who sat at his desk picking his nose and eating it. I would rather be subjected to second hand smoke than have to put up with him all day. Yet picking your nose and eating it is legal!!??

Perhaps if he were to flick his bogies at you there might be some comparison, but as they're not making your clothes smell, your eyes sting or your lungs rot, your point is weak.

Smoking is bad.

Pathetic is the word that most readily springs to mind.
