smoke breaks
Nicotine time-outs
Smoke breaks are short pauses from work during which employees step outside to smoke cigarettes.
The term reflects workplace culture where smokers take periodic breaks throughout the day, often gathering in designated areas.
Non-smokers sometimes resent that smokers get extra breaks: How come he gets four smoke breaks a day and I get none?
