I've told people before, as a non-smoker, that smoking would be the ultimate social activity if it weren't for all the cancer and assorted negative health outcomes. You've got an idle habit that many people also engage in. It requires that people come closer together to share the disposal resources. It then requires that you hold still and fidget with a small stick for several minutes every time you do it. And nothing else. It's hard to beat a set of conditions to get people to idly interact with each other that's better than that.
But, you know, cancer...
I have a couple of friends who smoke and I really enjoy heading outside with them when they go out to smoke. I especially enjoy it when it's very cold out, because nothing makes me appreciate the cosy warmth of my home more than a brief spell of bracing cold.
Shame about the passive smoking though
Don’t underestimate the value of the “I’m going to wander outside for a couple minutes” break on your well being!
I’m sitting here realizing that my big hobby project of the past few years — a koi pond in my back yard — is essentially a reason to just go outside and chill.
Imagine if smoking made you healthy.
When I worked in an office, I used to regularly take breaks with the smokers, even though I don't smoke. Not unlike following a bird or deer through the woods to a source of food or fresh water, the smokers really do have a line on togetherness. That and getting up from your desk regularly to take a damn break.
Drinking is better it also lowers inhibitions.
