    I started smoking when I was 13 because it was the only way one could take their shift break without being interrupted/called back into work. Before I smoked, my breaks would constantly get interrupted and I’d be called to do work but after I started smoking? No one dared to break the sacred rule of “don’t fuck with someone’s smoke break”.

    20+ years later and I’m still smoking 😎 and hopelessly addicted. I hate it.

      I was a bit older, but that’s the same reason I started. Somehow an accepted break that doesn’t get rushed, and a bit of daylight.

      Yea see that’s where I get on board with the classism issue. Everyone is overworked and for some reason smokers get breaks that nonsmokers don’t but should.
