Between drinking coffee, drinking tea, drinking water, going for a wee, going for a tug, having a nap, having a snack and other associated faff, I'm confident I do no more work than your average smokesperson. 🙂
Shortly after, I went onto the shop floor one morning to a large, carefully made sign hanging from the rafters over an empty corner:"NON SMOKING AREA - COME HERE FOR A CHAT WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT AND LET SOME OTHER ****ER DO YOUR WORK"
excellent
I rest easy as I know the smokers pay my pension as they won't be around to collect theirs.

NSFW - but you're not here while you're at work are you
And, if you work from home....
Since packing in smoking I probably spend more of my working day eating crisps than I ever used to do nipping out for a fag 😥

Or like my father who never smoked, he died senile pissing and fouling himself in a nappie. Choose your poison, death often isn't easy however it comes 🙁
I don't have any real gripes with the odd fag break for the people at our work, like people say it often balances out with the people faffing with the aero press coffee bobbins too, though as with most things there are people who take the proverbial - the boss clocked one girl going for 14 fag breaks one day, about 15 minutes each. Even with his mathematical prowess he'd worked out that was 2 1/2 hours she wasn't working. Cue one 'chat' and a grumpy worker the following day.
We have a few folks who smoke and when the law was introduced (2007?) they voluntarily agreed to take a pay cut so they could take more breaks
Answering the op's question, no thats talking bollocks. when i was a welder and a smoker a co'worker complained to the boss that every time i had finished welding up a paper bank i sat on my bench and smoked a fag (pre smoking ban)there for he should get more money because he worked for longer. the boss then pointed out to him i had finished welding 8 paper banks that day to his 3
And, if you work from home....
Now it turns out you can do the work you'd normally do at home in the office (for 3 days out of 5)

I used to work on a building site and i was the only non smoker, got right brassed off with it, so every hour i sat down for 5 mins for a break.
When the gaffer spotted me he went ballistic, did i take any notice? did i b******
