Smokers at Work

So let's reward people for killing themselves!
I guess it's a form of population control...
At my mom's work, where I spent my fall break shredding papers, there are a LOT of smokers. They come out every few hours for ten to twenty minutes, however long it takes to smoke a cigarette (which is supposed to be equal to the amount of time it takes off your life) and chat with the other smokers, and go back to work. Then they get the same one-hour lunch break as everyone else.
In a normal work day at the company, the day starts at 8:00 am and finishes at 5:00 pm, with an hour break for lunch. It's a normal eight-hour work day.
I studied one individual who smokes there. She came out once an hour for at least ten minutes. Sometimes as long as twenty.
If she spends, say ten minutes for every smoke break and works an eight-hour day, that gives her...eighty extra break minutes. The company wastes nearly an hour and a half's pay on her killing herself.
In my humble opinion, that's not too fair.
If I wanted to take a break every hour to eat, or comb my hair, or talk on my phone, it wouldn't happen.
This isn't just at my mom's work. It happened when I worked retail two years ago.
The managers would take smoke breaks at least every two hours, and spend a long time out in the back, polluting the air around the corner from the pharmacy drive-up window. If there were two managers working, they would take the breaks together.
Yet if one of us under-aged customer service associates were caught on the phone, eating at the register or standing at the register, not straightening or cleaning or something, we were told to do something productive and not waste company money.
Um...
Personally, I don't like to follow orders from hypocrites.
But that's just me.
