It just meant they did an hour less work than the non-smokers in an eight hour shift.

This is the one that gets me. I don't mind smokers having a smoke, that's their decision. I have yet to meet a smoker who couldn't wait for their real break to have one. They just don't like to. Tough. I worked for one company that really cracked down on this, and lo and behold, all the smokers who were taking hourly smoke breaks all the sudden could live with just smoking during their two 15's and their lunch break just fine all the sudden.
This is something that an employer really needs to crack down on, if smokers are abusing it. There's no reason for that.
