Why do waiters/waitresses overwhelmingly smoke?

Coming down Girod trying to get out of downtown tonight, and three of the waitstaff at Herbsaint are smoking outside the back door. One of these girls waited on me recently and is very cute. But these people smoke like chimneys, and it's everywhere.
What is it about food service that moves people into the OT trashy realm?

Waiters and waitresses are cool, cool people smoke.

Because everyone else who works there smokes.

For the same reason that most of us aircraft maintainers smoke... We aren't the most educated bunch

Just the nature of the business, it comes with the territory.
Don't know how else I can explain it.

If you don't take a smoke break, you don't get a break.

It's the restaurant business. They also use various drugs.

Because being high is more expensive and frowned upon.

They smoke just for the smoke breaks. Usually in the food industry you don't get any kind of real break, just enough time to sit down and eat if it's slow. So they compensate by taking a bunch of 5 minute smoke breaks throughout the day.

They make terrible life decisions obviously. Otherwise they wouldn't be working for less than minimum wage.

less educated more likely to smoke

My buddy called tonight to say, while he was out with a client at a restaurant, he caught he waiter doing some coke in the restroom. He just gave him a nod and later rolled his tip into a nose cannon before he left it on the table.

A smoke break used to be a smoke break. Now whenever I see a waitress on a smoke break shes tapping away on the cell phone, which I'm sure makes the smoke break last longer. It's unfair enough that the non smokers don't get a break, but the smokers are basically getting a break to play on their phones.
Are businesses legally required to give smoke breaks? If not it would be the first thing I'd cut if I owned a restaurant. Or at the very least I'd have a 'no cell phone on smoke break' policy; at least try to make it somewhat fair to the non smokers who get no break.
