True. A lot of jobs don't give you but one break (Publix, you might be scheduled for a 7 hour day with a half hour lunch.... You don't get off that register until it's time for break.) I've known a few employees who didn't smoke but found many other creative ways to waste time not working.
I talked to a police officer who mentioned that he knew a smoker that stayed so fit that he could beat him at laps when they had to go do the fitness course. So there is something you don't hear about every day, because people want to target smokers and stereotype them into a category.
Taking it back to health for a second, being the smoker that I am, I can tell you that in my 30's (means I had been smoking 15 years) I used to go power walk 3 miles then come home and do areobics. Exercising the lungs like that did wonders helping me to keep up in volleyball.
Course now that I haven't been exercising these past 4 years, I'm starting to get a little weazy and I can tell the difference. But, I started bike riding again, and will start walking again too (soons I get a stunner thingy for protection), and I bet I will be able to notice more lung capacity in 1 month's time.
