So offer money when doing it. If I want to bum a smoke I'll offer a quid (£1 for 1/20th of an £8 pack) - more often than not, they'll give me a fag without taking the money. Equally when others offer me money for a cigarette I won't take it (while if they don't offer, I'll give them one anyway if I'm in a good mood... but not always).
The app seems to solve a problem I don't think really exists - trying to find smokers - while it's list of reasons (such as using money to make it less embarrassing) can be solved by individuals already, very easily.
Here's the app I'd find useful - where can I buy cigarettes, full packs. I have this problem when I go abroad (Paris, you need to find a bar not a shop. Vienna you seem to be shit out of luck on a Sunday - but maybe I looked in the wrong places), and I have this problem when I'm out late (last night I had to spend a while in London trying to find somewhere that was open late, and even then they only had one brand so I had to get that.. while paying a premium).
