I always see old uncles doing that.Originally posted by digicharat:i will go look for unfinished ciggy on the floor and in the dustbin ashtray. -
Hmmm.... So much for the notion that smokers earn more. Honestly I doubt smoking directly has a bearing on your earning capability.Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:I always see old uncles doing that.
If you're good at what you do, you're good. Whether or not you smoke is secondary. -
so is our friend here gonna follow suit?Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:I always see old uncles doing that. -
You are too quick to conclude. From some studies, smoking and drinking will affect your earnings in a good way. They have more social capital that ppl who dun drink and smoke so have a good effect on their careers.Originally posted by SumOne:Hmmm.... So much for the notion that smokers earn more.

Stay to the topic, pls. Seriously, the way I see things is the price of ciggy will only go up and since ciggy is more impt to the poorer people, what do these people plan to do?

Xiaodidi, if you want to know more about cigarettes, can always come n ask me. Ang hoon refers to those packets of tobacco leaves. So who wants to smoke have to wrap those leaves with paper. A cheap alternative which is popular among Malays.Originally posted by aku1b0d0:wad is ang hoon?

I'll sell contraband cig.
Duty free cig cost about $1.50 per pack, sell for $10/- per pack.
Profit: 667% -

Well, just to be clear, weren't we talking about smoking? Not both smoking AND drinking? It boils back down to your ability to build up rapport and informal relationships with others. And you don't necessarily have to be a smoker to do that.Originally posted by NUS_Superst@r:You are too quick to conclude. From some studies, smoking and drinking will affect your earnings in a good way. They have more social capital that ppl who dun drink and smoke so have a good effect on their careers.
Smoke breaks are a tool of establising links with others. But it is not the only way. To you it may seem the easiest but there are other ways about it. And if your inter-personal skills suck, whether you're a smoker or not won't help you. Especially if you give people the impression that you're stuck up and display a "know-it-all" attitude.
Someone who's good will establish social links tactfully and smartly based on whatever oppurtunity that comes. Not just on smoke breaks alone. To just create a possible scenario, it may also happen that while you're taking the time to go for a puff, you may be missing out another chance to socialise.
To repeat, smoke breaks are just a tool. Like coffee breaks or any other kind of interaction. It is not the definitive way to go about it, it's more about having the chance to mingle and to make the most of that chance. It's not about smoking itself.
To give a simple analogy, you start at A, your intention is to reach at D. B can bring you to D, and so can C. More than one route to the destination.
I'm not saying you have totally no point or no logic, but you're going about it as if smoking is the definative way to financial freedom or something. It's like you're trying to justify to yourself why smoking is good by over-emphasing on how smoke breaks bring people together. -
Just to repeat, ultimately smoke breaks, coffee breaks, tea breaks, game sessions, team building sessions are all just tools/avenues for interaction and to build links.
None of these methods are the definitive route and it ultimately depends on whether you have the ability to build ties with people in the first place. -

You have a point here. A person must have the socialising skills but on top of that, the common area of interests is also impt. That's the reason why ppl from poly generally don't mix well with JC kids. If I am only interested in smoking and drinking while you are not into these areas and try to interact with me with other topics, will there be any bonds forming? A perfect example will be chicken talking to ducks.
