Makes sense to go home to kids. You get paid for a certain number of hours. If you consistently work more hours than someone else, you should get paid more than them (like overtime). Otherwise speak to your boss, or leave the place. I know it's easier said than done, but it's not the co-worker that is your problem right now. It's you not taking action, and the bosses who don't know how to distribute work fairly and pay employees properly.
An a different note, smokers always get more breaks than non-smokers. According to various statistics, cigarette smokers work an hour less a day than nonsmokers, which totals more than a year over a lifetime. And most workplaces prolong this behaviour by not doing anything about it.
The two above situations are not necessarily related, but my point is that there are lots of issues like this in the workplace. Ultimately, if your boss doesn't do anything about it, and it really bothers you *that* much, you're going to have to make a decision.
