That's how it should be. If my co-workers can smoke, I should be able to take a few minutes to relax as well. I've NEVER worked in a place where they allowed the non-smokers to take 5 minutes off every so often.

Non-Smokers do you feel like your getting shafted on the JOB?

As a non-smoker I totally agree with maple on this one. I have never worked somewhere where this has happened but if I did I would be pretty pissed about it. Oh, and about limits imposed upon smokers...I don't think that there are enough limits. No offense, I just hate having to even stand in the presence of someone that is smoking! I don't smoke for a reason. I don't want to breathe someone elses smoke because they are standing next to me. Just my $0.02.FSAE(F Series Accord Enthusiasts) "A dying breed..." #15

It's 30 minutes a day, big freaking deal. It's their health, not yours.
I bet half the people that are bitching don't even work hard labor jobs.
If you don't like working, then quit. I'm sure there's people that want your job more than you do.
It makes me mad that people find any little excuse to fucking bitch and whine that something is not fair.

The real question here is, are your coworkers swamped when they take their breaks?
Is it like, at a constuction job where if everyone took a break the building stops? or is it, they have a slow period for a few minutes and go and smoke?
Have you ever asked someone if they would mind you taking a break? Most will say no, and not worry about it because they know that you dont mind them taking a smoke break.
Oh, and if someone is smoking next to you and you dont want the smoke to get near you... step 10 feet away. Most smokers are curtious* enough to not smoke in say, a subway car, (if its not illegal anyway) so there should'nt be much of a problem. And the only place i can see of that being a problem is if you are riding in someones car, in which i have always seen the, "mind if i smoke?" question posted before they light up.
And honestly, since all people here work on or around their cars, how many of inhales copious amounts of exhaust fumes? which do you think is worse, the smoke that comes from a tailpipe, or from a cigarette?

Moral of the story....
SMOKERS ARE SMARTER THAN YOU BECAUSE WE WORK LESS FOR THE SAME MONEY.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it, you sniveling, non smoking, harder working suckers.
