It is possible that smoke breaks boost productivity for knowledge workers like programmers. Not so much the smoking part (which may have some effect itself), but simply taking a break could be benificial to total productivity.
- bkor 11y agoAs long as it is also socially acceptable that non-smokers take various 15min breaks during the day and talk about nothing. I once worked at a place where smokers took various breaks but it was not acceptable to just idle around. IMO nowadays I just see it as weak management, not being able to determine and/or say to a person that they're taking way too many breaks.
