  Sounds like the sociability comes from making people stand in an enclosed space together, usually outside a pub, rather than smoking tobacco.

    Yup, though outside the workplace is usually the bigger one - might depend on the country. It's just not going to happen without tobacco though.

      You can achieve the same by pulling the fire alarm and making everyone stand outside.
