a social smoker is somebody who will only smoke in social situations. it’s pretty self explanatory.

you can argue that there is two type of social smokers. ‘a’, being the one who b-ms cigarettes off other people at parties because they don’t buy their own. whether they are trying to fit in or not, who knows, but you have to wonder why they even bother.

the other type (b), would be the type of social smoker that enjoys the added buzz they get when drinking or smoking marijuana with friends. these social smokers buy their own cigarettes. they are people who smoke little cigarettes, so they enjoy one when chilling with friends that smoke a lot. they don’t feel they need to smoke to fit in or be accepted, but do it not to be left out when their friends go outside.

note that social smokers are far from being addicted to cigarettes. its easy to tell if somebody is a social or a chain smoker. social smokers know its bad for them (just like a chain smoker does) but they never feel the need for a smoke (minus the times they are drunk or high and want the added buzz)

someone who doesn’t know whether they’re coming or going.

they know smoking is bad, but do it anyway from time to time at social gatherings, i.e. clubs and bars, just to fit in and seem “cool”.

they produce the opposite effect.

real smokers and non-smokers alike, know these people are just losers who can’t fit in with the crowd so they have to copy others to do so.

plus they never buy their own packs because they’re too cheap, so they beg around for cigarettes, and most of them just puff.
bob : “wtf is marc trying to do with that cig? he doesn’t even smoke”

john : “meh.. who cares, he’s just trying to impress”

bob : “what? the ash tray? he looks like a p-n-s”

bob : “cheap -ss social smoker ; we should beat his -ss to death with a carton of smokes”
