I think the far better way to go about this is to provide a supportive atmosphere for employees to quit smoking.

As far as the smoking breaks thing goes, in my opinion everyone should be able to work at their own pace and be able to take some time to chill throughout the work day. So just allow everyone to take the equivalent of a smoke break when they need it.



Wow, that's pretty much abusive. I'd rather work with 100 smokers than one clever put down artist such as yourself.
That would be wonderful, unfortunately it does not reflect the reality of the vast majority of businesses and vast majority of industries. Things need to get done, and not when people feel like doing them.
