Study: Smokers Bad For Workplace

Thursday, August 23, 2007

A new study shows that smokers have a poorer-than-average work performance and call in sick more than non-smokers. What do you think?

Ryan Van Duyne,
Admissions Officer
"I smoke and it doesn't affect my performance at work. Even if it did, I can quit my job anytime."

Arch Potts,
Mobile Disc Jockey
"I don't see what's wrong with wanting to take a few days to yourself to get some important smoking done."

Pepper Day,
Neurosurgeon
"I think this can all be solved if smokers simply switch to pipes. Who doesn't appear smarter and more productive with a pipe?"
