Default time off work to quit smoking !!!!!!!

http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thre...20070425172224

its a fooking disgrace. I quit without needing any help etc, and 19 months later im still not smoking so it can be done.

However i do have an addiction to driving the cossy

" Boss, its Ian. I'm sorry but i cant come in today because of my addiction to driving the cossie. Anyway il be back tomorrow once i finished killing off some inferior cars"

I'm sure that my company would be understanding, wouldnt they? Or Not.

I heard this on the radio(2), not fair on non smokers is it ?, they already have enough free time for fag breaks.

tbh am tired of smokers getting advantages because they smoke.

Extra breaks during the working day for 'a quick ciggy'
