Smokers are a dying breed. If they wanna burn there hard earned money on getting cancer. Go for it. It'll only help clear the line up as they get older :-)
In my trade (heavy industry) there is alot of people who smoke there is also alot of people who are ****en lazy. .Lets not be judgmental or confuse the two. Just cause your sitting in an orifice on a computer earning **** money .
Tell us your gross earning and ill tell you how smart smokers are.
Go talk **** about football for half an hour.
85K Non Smoker....
I agree with their freedom of choice... but I disagree that they then get tax payer funded medical assistance when they knowingly ingest these toxins. (I understand for people who have smoked for more than 10 years as it is an addiction)
If you have ever spent time with someone going through cancer (lung, bowel, prostate) then you would try to remove any chance that you would ever get this illness.....
I dont understand why kids still smoke today....
An interesting fact I heard... and Im not saying this in a judgemental way....
95% of people who have mental health issues... are smokers....
This is from a South Australian Health Professional who works in Communtiy Health....
Just an interesting statistic.... I didnt think it would be that high....
I don't care if you smoke, but I thought it was healthy to take a 5 minute break every hour.
I know I do (and I don't smoke)
Sorry, I got the figure wrong.
As I said, I had heard it second hand from someone else but as the bloke above mentioned, it is around 90% which I still find quite high.
I am not trying to make any points by it but simply found that it was a statistic that is staggering.
Generally, you would assume that this is due to the reason that people with mental health issues can be prone to addictive behaviours such as smoking and cannot excert the same level of self control as other people within the population.
This is the reason why government provides assistance to those people who wish to give up smoking because breaking the addiction is difficult for most people let alone putting mental health issues into the mix.
For the comment about breaks, you are far more productive when you do take regular breaks and allow your mind to relax and go again. Like any muscle, continuous use over long periods leads to fatigue and exhaustion. Doesnt really matter if you smoke on those breaks or post comments on seabreeze (...guilty...), taking a short break enables you to focus and produce better results while at work.
Wouldnt that be Quasi-Phallic? as in only a part time d!ck?
Or it could be Perma-Phallic... as in a full time d!ck!
Im not calling anyone a Phallic... just providing further ammo for the discussion....
If he was an ithyphallic... pronounced ( I-Thee-Fallick ) would that make him a self righteous d!ck?
We (I, really) let go of someone just last week - towards end of probation.
Smoking and all the time taken for it was a big factor, not that we told him.
He took between 10-15+ minutes per hour to go for a smoke. Plus could not sustain training and long meetings.
Otherwise an OK worker, my research says.
As to the argument that other workers do Twitter and surf on working hours or are lazy: true that, but it's an everything-else-being-equal argument.
how about dening medical treatment for someone silly enough to get injured windsurfing or driving a car
If the Gov was serious about it they would ban them
Smokes are legal and until they are not there should be no discrimination toward people who choose to partake.
Complaints about smokers breath is a common complaint
I choose to complain about Garlic Breath and BO
Why not raise the legal age by one year, every year. Existings smokers could still smoke but that will be the last geneeration that does.
