Exactly. The first two times I smoked were out of curiosity (the first didn't go too well, haha). Now I smoke because my roommates aren't the most social of people. But, when we go to our front porch for a smoke, we talk about what's on our minds. Sure, it's probably not healthy for a relationship to be based on smoke breaks, but I see it as a foot-in-the-door. Another reason I like to smoke is because it gets me outside. I don't live near nature, and it's one of my favorite things. To have and excuse to be outside and just be still is wonderful. Again, I could do this without smoking, but it's very pleasant to see the snow fall counter to the smoke rising.
