In Australian, New Zealand and Falkland Islands English, a smoko (also "smoke-o" or "smoke-oh") is a short, often informal break taken during work or military duty, although any short break such as a rest or a coffee or tea break can be called a smoko.
How long is Smoko in Australia?
The small breaks are usually 15mins, meal breaks are 30 mins (unpaid). "Smoko" is an old term not really used in Australia anymore, and going for smoke breaks outside of the sanctioned breaks is not allowed.
Who founded Smoko?
Smoko Inc. is headed by Jeff Yen, Smoko's lead designer and the new website is run by Namanh Hoang, founder of lollimobile.com. According to Namanh, what makes Smoko unique is that the entire Smoko line up of products are not only aesthetically cute and adorable, they also all serve a valuable function.
