Answer :

Answer:

  • frequent absences from work due to illnesses caused by nicotine use
  • decreased productivity due to decreased memory retention

Explanation: Nicotine has negative effects on one's productivity. It is a drug that impairs concentration, memory, and judgement. Therefore, it wouldn't increase productivity, nor would it improve concentration. In addition, smoking in the designated areas of a workplace is not a violation of workplace policy since those places were specifically designed for smoke breaks.
