I find it funny how in the OP, lunch breaks were included into the final calculation that added up to smokers working a 4 day week and the non smokers working a 5 day week. Are the non smokers not taking their lunch breaks? Yeah. Thought so.

So the difference is half a day. I suppose that that is a reason to start to feel a little bitter. But before you go on crying about it, know that smokers usually have to cram more work into smaller timeframes. I mean, if there's something due at 3pm, they're not going to just get up and leave. They'll just get it done faster so that they can go have their smoke.
OK, maybe not all situations are like that. But you, Mr. OP, have already said that smoking has not affected your workload. So WTF are you whining about? I bet that 95% of the people that see it the way you do actually sloooow down and work at a more casual pace because you're so choked that Bob from down the hall is taking more breaks than you are.
Lol. You've spent all week monitoring smokers to determine how much LESS work they're doing than you are. Yet you're whining about it on a messageboard during work hours. The absolute epitome of noticing the sliver in someone else's eye and not noticing the log in your own. Grow up, dude. If you're so special you'll probably get a promotion sooner than the evil smokers.
