Smoke Breaks

I am away on vacation and I am waiting in my van, we are just about to leave for home, I notice across from us a man sitting outside having something to drink and smoking. A teacher of mine once told of when a smoker is tence they have a smoke and release and relax. He was trying to convey the released state, and how to work with people to get them into that relaxed state.
What I noticed today is how there is healthy component to the smoke break experience. When someone goes for a smoke break, they stop what they were doing altogether and usually physically move to a different location and do something else. They smoke and relax. They take deep inhales of their smoke, just like a deep breath, and they relax, perhaps even clear their minds. For perhaps 10 min they smoke relax and leave things behind. This is a wonderful practice, we should all do this except without the smoking. Take time-outs, smoke breaks without the smoke and relax and breath. Move away from what you are doing, take some deep breaths and relax and clear our minds. For 5-10 min just take a breath break a chance to free ourselves to just be.
What a wonderful practice.

Thank you
