Quote: McLaren_Field "Believe it or not, one of my colleagues at our head office in Birmingham uses one of those - he has been asked to go outside into the street when he wants an "esmoke" along with all of the regular smokers.'"
Before the workplace smoking ban, at my workplace they banned smoking in the office but allowed smokers to use a special manky room.
The non-smokers said it wasn't fair that smokers could just slope off whenever they felt like it, so the employers thought they'd reward the non-smokers with extra hols instead.
I can't remember the number of days it came down to ... but a colleague worked it out that it was the equivalent of being out of the office for ten fags per working day, which wasn't fair, as he was a twenty-a-day non-smoker.
