At my work, smokers are allowed to have a 15min break every 2 hours for a cigarette. The break has to be 15 minutes because they have to walk out the front gate to the smoking area, have the cigarette and walk back.
If I work an 8-hour day, that means I will have 60 minutes, or one hour a day more breaks and thus personal time than a non-smoker.
If I earn say $25 an hour, this means I will make $25 a day on payed breaks I would otherwise have to have worked for.
If we say that a pack of 24 smokes cost $7.50, and I smoke 4 a day (one for every break), it means it will cost me $1.25 a day to earn $25 for doing nothing. That to me is a clean $23.75 profit.
If I work 5 days a week I will have an extra 5 hours a week off and earn $125 in that time.
If I work a 48-week year, I will have an extra 240 hours or 10 days off work, and earn $6,000 in that year doing it.
If I work for 40 years, I will have an extra 400 days or 1.1 years of life my non-smoking friends did not, and I will have earned $240,000 for doing nothing, that they had to work for.
If I smoke 4 cigarettes a day every working day over a 40-year career, I will have spent $12,000 on cigarettes. This means I’ll come away with a net profit of $228,000, or a 1900% return on my initial investment. These figures do not allow for inflation.
This clearly shows that smoking will both increase you life span, and make you money, However, these returns would not be possible if smoking had not been banned from the workplace, resulting in my 4, 15 minutes payed smoke breaks a day.
Finally smokers have something to thank their non-smoking friends for.
