    What offices have smoke?

    Overwork is still very common despite less people smoking.

    Also, nicotine is a simulant and really doesn’t make you less productive. Just like coffee won’t. Actually there’s an argument it should help.

      nicotine

      I won’t act like I know what comes out of people’s exhalation after they come into an unventilated room after smoking in the stairway just next to it (with the only door blocking anything, being always kept open), but I can say for sure that:

      1. Cigarettes give out much more than just nicotine vapour.
      2. The smokers in question have proven to be neither more competent, nor more productive. On the contrary, they sit around, asking other ppl to do their work (in the name of help) and as the other people waste their own time explaining their work as they do it, the smokers don’t even learn from what is being taught to them.

      If it is a stimulant that comes out of that smoke, it’s definitely stimulating unwanted attributes of the brain.
