Interesting. Because smokers take far more breaks and longer than my Muslim colleagues ever did - the Muslims would go to the prayer-room at their designated breaks (15 minutes morning/afternoon, half hour for lunch) which we all got.
Also, speaking as a Christian who used to go to the hospital chaplaincy, I was far more productive after a 15 minute silent prayer than my colleagues who smoked would be after a fag. Fags were accompanied by coffee breaks once back in the dept and a gossip session from the group outside smoking. They could easily lose half an hour this way.
