烟草在线据AsiaOne报道编译　　在典型的工作日期间，吸烟的职员可能花费长达40分钟的时间用于吸烟。

　　他们甚至对于这会如何影响自己的工作效率漠不关心。

　　据Jobstreet.com的一份报告说，吸烟者平均一天要进行1至4次吸烟休息，每次历时5至10分钟。

　　在调查中接受意见询问的人中，有44%的人在被问及吸烟者是否应该获准在工作时间内吸烟时说，吸烟是一种个人生活方式的选择。

　　不过，其余的受访者则说，在工作时间内不应该允许吸烟，因为不吸烟的人应该得到保护而不受二手烟的影响，而且在等待吸烟者返回工作时，生产力会下降。

　　另一些人说，应该公平分配工作时间。

　　56%的受访者说，他们对目前公共场所中实施无烟区感到满意，并表示没有必要扩大无烟区。

　　大多数受访者说，他们会礼貌请求在无烟区吸烟的同事转移到别的地方吸烟。

　　30%的人说，他们会通过走开来避开吸烟的人。

　　不吸烟的人中最大的担心是吸入二手烟的有害影响。

　　他们还担心吸烟者吞云吐雾后紧随着吸烟者的经久不散的气味。

　　大约有2300名受访者参加了这次在2012年7月开展的调查。他们中，19%的人表示自己是吸烟的人。

　　这份报告还说，尽管职员整体并不认为吸烟妨碍生产率，但旷工增加和工作专心程度下降可能会影响雇主。

Singapore: Smokers Spend up to 40 Min on Breaks During Work Hours

　　Smoking employees can spend up to 40 min on smoke breaks during the typical working day.

　　They also remain indifferent to how this may affect their work productivity.

　　According to a report by Jobstreet.com, smokers take an average of one to four smoke breaks per day, each lasting five to 10 minutes.

　　Forty-four per cent of respondents polled in the survey said smoking is an individual's lifestyle choice when asked whether smokers should be allowed to smoke during working hours.

　　However, the remaining respondents said smoking should be disallowed during working hours as non-smokers should be protected from the effects of second-hand smoke and that productivity can be compromised waiting for smokers to get back to work.

　　Others said working hours should be fairly distributed.

　　Fifty-six per cent of the respondents said that they are contented with the current non-smoking areas in public areas and expressed no need for expansion.

　　Most of the respondents said that they will politely request for colleagues lighting up at non-smoking zones to move elsewhere for their smoking activities.

　　Thirty per cent said they will avoid smokers by moving away.

　　The top concern amongst non-smokers was the harmful effects of inhaling second-hand smoke.

　　They were also concerned about the lingering smell that trail smokers after their puff.

　　About 2,300 respondents participated in this survey conducted in July 2012. 19 per cent of them indicated that they are smokers.

　　The report also said that while employees in general do not consider smoking a hindrance to productivity, employers are likely to be affected by increased absenteeism and lower levels of concentration. Enditem
