Besides the chemical addiction part, it's also a genuinely social one as well.

Smoking areas are designated places where strangers talk to each other. Asking for a light or offering one is a super simple way to break the ice. My dad quit cold turkey several times but he always fell back into the habit hanging with his friends

Yeah, my coworkers take smoke breaks together and I genuinely think I missing some important socialization because I don't smoke

Take a cup of coffee or tea and go with them. There are multiple modern addictions that you can choose from.

Take a sparkler to hold, so you can ask for a light

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
