smoke break
Nicotine recess outside
A smoke break is a short pause from work or other activity to step away and smoke a cigarette.
Workplaces that prohibit indoor smoking often have designated areas for smoke breaks.
The term sometimes extends to any brief informal break: I don't smoke, but I'll join you on your smoke break.
