@imran.workplacementor: In many UK workplaces, smoke breaks are treated like an automatic right, while wellbeing breaks get questioned. That is where the unfairness becomes obvious. Follow me as I help employees prepare for workplace meetings, know what to say to HR, and protect themselves at work when small issues start becoming bigger problems. #smokebreak #unfair #imranworkplacementor #workmeeting #difficultconversations
Or just do what my work does and make it prohibited to vape or smoke during work hours and only during break times only

I started going out when others did to smoke. They asked if I had taken up smoking . Said no, taking the same amount of breaks as the others. No one said anything .

I ordered bubble cigarettes so instead of smoking I can go outside and blow bubbles, my coworkers think it’s hilarious

I was a smoker… and a manager… if someone asked for a fresh air/ drink/ snack break and didn’t smoke then I’d allow them.

most places I've work will let you substitute your lunch break for 4 15-minute breaks which i think is the fairest way . also allowing anyone to do that if they wanted to.

Aud The Old :
I'm a smoker and in a 10 hour shift I have an hour break. I tend to take 20 minutes to eat and then about 5-6 smoke breaks during the day. It's the most fair to my colleagues I think
