Yes, I've noticed that trend as well. I've considered taking up smoking cigars so I can take all the breaks AND annoy the cig smokers. Ah, good times.

How about pipe smoking? Can we do that too, or would that be too pretentious?

2:51 PM

What about those great candy cigarettes from back in the day? Jeez, do they even make those anymore. How very un-PC. ha!

Don't forget the valuable information (aka gossip) you hear via the informal, trusted smoking network ;-)

Yeah they still have the candy cigarettes as sad and stupid as that is. My kid said they were "cool" and I had to give her a very long and boring lecture of the dangers of smoking and the disgusting habits of others. She loved it. ;)

I'm the only one at my library who smokes. I'm the director. Go figure.

Worked at a gas station in my teen years. I grew frustrated with my smoker coworkers getting so many breaks. I started "smoking" candy cigarettes for the breaks. The boss told me to start smoking for real or get back to work.

What's a break? I don't even take a lunch anymore. Just eat it at my desk. You're totally right about the smokers. We used to have 2 smoking librarians, and they were CONSTANTLY going outside. Back when they worked here, I took "smoke breaks" with them, too, and I have asthma. Sometimes we just need to escape the depths of the library.
