I'm sorry, but I don't buy that being honest (showing up when you said you'd be there, and showing up period, and in general being a trustworthy individual) makes you a slave. I'm sure there's plenty of habitual smokers who are great dependable employees who would be insulted at this idea.

Green dragon is a drink.

"Water pipes" or "bongs" still involve smoking, but the smoke is passed through water. I don't know to what extent this reduces the ill-effects of inhaled smoke.
