Smokers in offices across Leicestershire often pop out a few times a day to have a quick cigarette break.

But are they legally entitled to have a quick smoking break?

It’s a question that divides many offices, with many non-smokers saying it’s unfair to give smokers extra time out.

But legally, what does the law say?

The answer is no. Fag breaks aren't a legal entitlement, [...] However, 'rest breaks' are - and your employer can't technically refuse you one.
