I read an article some time ago about when smokers were chased outside by companies with no smoking rules newly in place.
And the people banished could be CEOs all the way down to the mailroom people as they huddled outside the back door, sharing a smoke.
And the congregation of these people led to some job promotions as the various people mingled and got to know each other as people and not as any sort of hierarchy.
And when opportunities arose they'd often get a boost up the ladder.
