☆ Should I Worry About My Co-Workers Smoking Weed on Break?

The point of work leave is to leave. A Distinct AromaI recently smelled pot smoke on an associate coming back after a break. I do not smoke weed and never have, so I am not very familiar with the new techniques and forms for smoking it and what it may or may not smell like. I foolishly asked a fellow employee (we have fewer than 10) if he thought the guy smelled like pot smoke. Am I naïve, and uncool in thinking it’s unacceptable to smoke weed during coffee breaks at work?
