At a place where smokers can take random 5-minute breaks, I can practically guarantee that non-smokers can as well.

Never seemed okay for non-smokers to take these breaks in the Army

Smoke breaks are not really an issue for white collar workers, but I don't think it invalidates the relationship between the two situations.

I don't think this has to be explicitly stated.

I have a coworker who doesn't smoke but will call it his smoke break and take the 10 minutes and just go for a walk around the building.
