Lucky for me, smoking was still acceptable when I was a copper. Now, I smoke like a furnace pretty much at my work (wildlife photography) and at home. Oh, and the front porch at the kid's house.
If the work rules are too odious, might be time to hunt new employment.

I work for the city I'm the Water Guy responsible for your drinking water I'm 61 years old and with that being said I've got about 3 or 4 years left before I retire so I'm going to keep on sneaking away smoking and a town of 3000 I swear I think I'm the only one smoking a pipe these days or smoking. Or should I say legally smoking

I used to tell my old boss, that if they would just let us smoke inside at work, we'd never need to take breaks!

I used to smoke cigarettes outside during my breaks.
Since I only use the pipe now, I have no realistic expectation of taking that much time for a smoke break.
It wouldn't satisfy me, either. I'm happy to wait until I'm home and able to relax these days.

On some jobs I get to smoke, no need for breaks on those if coffee is at hand too. Nobody complains and occasionally someone compliments the smell or asks a question.

I don't have a set job, but most places I have worked, don't mind me smoking a pipe. They like the smell of it vs cigarettes. (As long as it's at the designated area that is)

Never had a problem at the bakery, but I was cognicent of the smell of smoke while I was in the kitchen. Now that I watch the kids I wouldn't smoke indoors. Its also -25c right now, so I won't be smoking outside either!
