In recent years, smokers have found their habit increasingly
marginalized at the office. Once smokers were free to exhale clouds of
nicotine-scented smoke wherever they saw fit. Now, smoking in the
workplace is a tricky thing that's just as likely to draw resentment as
accomodation.
Vault decided to investigate just how smokers cope with today's more
restrictive workplace. We discovered how many non-smokers resented
their smoking coworker's habit and frequent breaks, how many smoking
breaks the average smoker takes in a given day, what percentage of HR
professionals and managers violate their own company's smoking policy,
and more.

The Consequences of Breaking a Smoking Policy
"The individual's manager will give a verbal warning, if they continue,
they will receive a written warning ... if they continue they lose all
smoking privileges for an allotted amount of time."
