A Japanese Company Is Giving Nonsmokers Longer Vacations (fastcompany.com)

An anonymous reader shares a report: Marketing firm Piala introduced the new policy in September after nonsmokers complained that they were working more than their colleagues who smoked. The company's offices are reportedly on the 29th floor, meaning that popping out for a smoke break meant a solid 15 minutes away from work. Multiply that by several smoke breaks a day, and the hours start to add up, which began to tick off nonsmoking coworkers. A spokesman for the company told The Telegraph that one of those nonsmokers slipped a note in the company's suggestion box and the CEO agreed. Now nonsmokers are entitled to more vacation time, which the company hopes will encourage smokers to quit their filthy habit.

If you're allowed to just declare a smoke break, then fuck you, I'm declaring a fap break.
I'll be in the stationary cupboard.

If that's what you're up to, I imagine it won't be stationary, but rather moving noticably. Try not to ruin the stationery while you're in there.
