Smoking is bad for you but it's great for socialising. I always have a person come to me after the club because saw me smoke a cigarette, because they need a cigeratte or a lighter. And then we start talking. I don't smoke a lot, but it's great to be a social smoker when you don't have that many social contact. I'm gonna quit when I have a better social life

When I was still in my partying era, and smoking, I'd have the Wilders conversations in the smoking areas of the bars (which existed back then). If it wasn't so bad for you I'd do it again just for that lol.

It also gives you an excuse to remove yourself from crowded social situations that you are not enjoying. You say you need to go outside for a smoke and chances are at least one other person will join you and you can finally talk one on one. Or you meet someone standing in the smoking area and strike up a conversation with them. Regardless, it's an excellent opportunity to socialize in a smaller circle or just to chill together in silence and enjoy the fresh air.

I don't smoke anymore and haven't for over a decade, but i still miss that part. If only there was a way to be a smoker without actually smoking...

This was one of the best parts about smoking. My favorite part of smoking though was that I never had to sit around waiting because I could just go have a dart.

I think you should stop now, but I understand why you're doing it.

Still, my grandpa died of lung cancer from excessive smoking, at the end of the day.
