A way to punish slackers + moral stance? Why not! In other news, tobacco consumption varies from person to person and stepping away from your desk 15 minutes at a time should not be abnormal.

Yeah, it seems like the real problem here is that employees are required to have an excuse to take a short unscheduled break from work.

That a society decided that "I need a cigarette" is a valid excuse for this is secondary.

It seems more of a reward for non smokers. Unless it means the smokers will have to pick up the slack from those having holidays.
