EDIT 3: Excuse my attitude writing the OP on this particular morning. Sorry for the judgmental commentary.
Original OP:
I'm shook that my company let's so many employees sit outside smoking in 2019. They sit out there wasting paid hours and lowering the health profile of our company, jacking up everyone's insurance.
It's probably allowed just because one of the owners smokes. He sits out there smoking all day almost.
The woman at the next cubicle is in sales and comes back inside and wheezes on the phone. She tries laughing but it's more of an out of breath sound.
This other lady had surgery so she said she quit smoking for that to heal better. She failed. Saw her smoking the week she came back after surgery.
I wish my company had incentive programs to get people to quit.
They either don't care, don't know how bad it is, or don't have the will to quit. Not sure which but all are not great.
It's the number one preventable killer in america. People love to pull "what about alcohol" or such like it's the same and it ain't.
If anyone needs help quitting, I encourage you to get control of your health. Try a simple google search or guides like https://www.cdc.gov/tobacco/quit_smoking/index.htm
Good luck. Hope you recover.
EDIT: some of you are making weird reaches... I don't think smokers are dumb people and I know it can take help or medicine... I literally linked the CDC assistance page because it can take help for some people
EDIT 2: Shevek mentioned Smoke Free app so here's an iOS link for those who want a tracker to see
