As a non smoker, reading this just makes me feel depressed.
So you use smoking cigarettes as a crutch when making real conversations with the non-smokers inside gets hard? Then you fill in gaps in conversation with more smoking? Most people cope with those naturally occurring conversation gaps without breathing in smoke.
Serious question - Are you, as you stand out there with the party going on behind you, slightly repulsed by the fact that you connected with someone because you're both doing the same disgusting habit?
The whole scenario seems so absurdly sad, and certainly not something I'd "highly recommend" to anyone.
- lolc 10y agoI've always tried and failed to keep my smoking habit to occasions where I could enjoy the smoking. I wouldn't "highly recommend" trying it, because very few people can keep it at that level. I couldn't, and my way of quitting was to remember all the other ones I smoked. To this day, on the rare occasions where I crave smoking, I'll just remind myself of the nausea, the bad throat, the smell, the dizziness and whatever else the other ones, the ones I would smoke after the good one, would do to me.
- GuiA 10y agoAw you sound sad man. If you want to grab a beer and a smoke some time, hit me up!
- justinpombrio 10y agoWould you say the same about drinking? Because in the scenario we're discussing, they seem pretty analogous to me: potentially addicting habits that are (to varying degrees) socially accepted, and make having conversations easier.
