Does anybody work with a smoker? Seriously NOBODY rips cigs in this industry. Just seems weird that, in my 7 years, I’ve never worked with a smoker

There are a couple in my office, but think about it... we work in an industry that requires you to be able to back up most of your decisions with an explanation that is reasonable to a certain degree. Most of us also bill at 6 minute intervals. Put those two things together and you wind up with very few smokers.

I remember when people smoked in the office! Crazy to think about now. Most people don’t smoke in our profession. It’s really not socially acceptable to smell like cigarette smoke at work.

Im glad that public accounting doesnt have that many smokers. The conference rooms start to stink after a while and smell of stale smoke doesnt help. I am glad that I don’t work with a smoker!

A lot of us closet smokers use e-cigs/vapes during the day. Nicotine cravings are real, I can work 2x as long if I’m at home and can access nicotine versus in the office w/o

I know one smoker on my team in the US. When I was actually in Europe, my entire group smoked. I was disgusted by how many young intelligent people eagerly wasted their money and health.

Most I know who were smokers switched to dip bc they can do it somewhat discretely. Now with snus, you can get your nic hit with no one knowing. Surprising number of people doing snus.

Wondering to get some advice on how hard it would be or get an understanding of the market to get back into private accounting/advisory or financial analyst after stepping away for 2.5 years.
