A Japanese company has made headlines after it announced that non-smokers would be granted six days extra of holiday.
This is an act of compensation towards those who are not taking breaks during work to smoke.
Piala Inc, a marketing firm, introduced the additional paid leave in September.
It comes after months of complaints from non-smokers that smokers got away with doing less work.
You would think that smoking breaks don't take that long, but for this Japanese company it's a different story. This Tokyo-based firm which is said to operate from the 29th floor of an office building. According to staff, this can make the cigarette breaks last up to 15 minutes.
