Good, you shouldn't get a break specifically for fostering an addiction.

Smoke or kids or the want to scratch your bunghole, you should be able to take whatever breaks you want as long as the work gets done.

Sure, but it's pretty commonplace to offer smoke breaks with no equivalent breaks being offered to non smokers. It's stupid as shit.

Just join them and stand outside for 5 min.

Just not downwind of the cancer-stench

That's what I did at my last factory job. Go out on smoke breaks, walk around the parking lot until the break is over.

Nobody ever called me on it, but just in case I always had a vape I picked up off the side of the road ready to claim it was my reason for being out with the rest.
