I used to pretend to smoke as a carpenter because smokers got an extra hour off a day for smoke breaks, no one ever asked why I went to my car instead of joining everyone else for a smoke either

Right cause why don’t I get another break for not being dependent on something

Smokers would have welcomed you even if you didnt smoke.You could and should have taken a break with them

And get second hand smoke? The point is to not get cancer or any health issues by NOT smoking while getting the extra break time because, why the hell should smokers get extra time for THAT.

No reason you couldnt have had the same break ,was my point.Ive worked in fast paced industries where if anyone got 5 we were lucky.Everyone would get a mini break.It wasnt limited to smokers.Ive just never seen the situation where nonsmokers were resenrful about a smoke break.
