But in my defense, I was like 22, 23 at the time and was still basically in college mode. If I still smoked today, I definitely wouldn't do it on company time anymore.

Like the 2 15 minutes, or the half hour lunch. That was my time, not on company dime, so I felt I could smoke. I never took on the clock smoke breaks. I also never had too many sick days until the end of my career when my back started flaking out all the time and it became a never ending cycle of doctors visits. It had nothing to do with my smoking habit, it was an orthopedic surgical issue. I ended up quitting that last job because I knew I couldn't do it anymore and trying to show up, was futile. Maybe the majority of smokers at work do that stuff, but not all of us did. I’m a smoker who didn’t smoke at work unless I was on a legitimate break. Like the 2 15 minutes, or the half hour lunch.
