This is so true. At least get a damn vape 😭
If my bf could do it, so can you. Plus, your dick (if you have one) will get bigger! Not joking, it’s true!

    This is the one thing I feel I missed out on by never becoming a (cigarette) smoker.

    There’s also an inherently social aspect to it. Things like asking for a light, or to bum a smoke, can become an instant conversation starter.

      I really liked this one antismoking ad where everyone goes outside for 15 minute breaks, pulls a plastic bottle with a wand out of their pocket and starts blowing bubbles while talking to all the other bubble blowers. Can’t we all collectively start doing that?

      This is the only thing I miss about smoking cigarettes. It made socialising so much easier in unfamiliar environments.

      I just took smoke breaks and didn’t smoke. Only ever got called out for it once and that guy was a major asshole anyway.

        Yeah I used to do that. But you still lack that immediate conversation starter, unless you pick up smoking

            If you’re at a party or social gathering where smokers have been relegated to a specific area outside, it becomes very easy to meet people if you smoke.

            It’s like a cheat code for social anxiety and people who have trouble initiating conversation with people they don’t know.

              Yeah, you can still go out there if you don’t smoke though. I’ve never had smokers tell me to fuck off when I didn’t smoke. Usually if anything someone would offer me one, I’d say no thank you, and we’d move on to talking about whatever. I did carry a lighter with me so I could at least offer them that though.
