what i have observed is that they don’t ask or simply don’t take as many breaks. but yeah, stepping outside for five minutes and taking deep breaths is a good idea for most, regardless of nicotine!
I once started sitting outside with the smokers whenever they took their collective break. I was told I had to stop doing that because I wasn’t a smoker…
I was like… “Do I need to start smoking? Cause I can start smoking…”
Should be “as many minutes” rather than “as many breaks”. If a smoker get five 10-minutes smoke breaks a day, I’d rather take two 25-minutes breaks and use them for long(ish) walks around the area to breath some fresh(ish) air.
NO! Non-smokers should take up smoking while the smokers quit. Then the new smokers take the smoke breaks and the new non-smokers can catch up on the work they missed.
And non-smokers should be given as many breaks as the smokers!

The boss didn’t like that…
You were a smoker though. A passive one.
I smoke a special brand of invisible, pink cigarettes. They have a unicorn pattern on the wrappers.

True!
Hot take: as a non-smoker, I regularly took “smoke breaks” anyway. Often, i was hanging out on the loading dock with the smokers.
Same. I used to tell people I second hand smoked.
