I personally think that being addicted to nicotine should not guarantee you multiple extra breaks a day. Am I crazy? According to my job I guess I must be crazy. Anybody else have coworkers who get unlimited smoke breaks?

So today was my first day on a stimulant (diagnosed as an adult), and everyone says its suppose to feel like *boom* magic, or normal (?) , I guess.
