non smokers should get more holiday

Non smokers should get more paid holiday!

Well that’s the verdict of one Japanese employer anyway – 6 more days to be precise.

After an employee complained about the amount of work he did while his nicotine loving colleagues took multiple breaks per day his company introduced the additional holiday allowance.

One great consequence has been that this has incentivised some smokers to give up their habit!

Should employers give more holiday to non-smokers?
