a slang term used widely in Australia to denote breaks given by law to smokers in Australian business. Due to a quirk in the laws a smoko must be given to a smoker if requested, but if theyre not a smoker, they cannot request a similar break, even if the smokers in the office take a smoko frequently
A rest from work so that you can have a little time for a ciggy (cigarette).
