Breaks do make people more producitve, but there was a study of
productivity and smoking, and the results were that the non-smokers
were more productive.

At an airline ticket counter. Quite a bit of the difference was due to
more
sick time. I imagine if you are passing money, credit cards, and documents
back an forth with the general public, you'll end up with germs on your
hands. Now run outside for a quick smoke without washing, put your hands
by
your mouth and there you go, you're sick. I don't see how people can make
sweeping generalizations based on one small study at one airline ticket
counter.
