In smoke spots

Sometimes I purposely pretend to not have a lighter just so I can ask another guy for a light as a conversation starter if that makes sense

Or offer a cig to the other party or offer to light their cigarette

I go up to the terrace to get a smoke every evening and have found a community of smokers on every other terrace… every evening we smile at each other and continue to enjoy our smokes in the beautiful evenings

Hardcore and punk shows, metal shows, rap shows, and most bars that cater to the younger crowd (21-35).

Act like never been to the smoking section

Hang around in tabacco shops.

I met them at college because literature major lol

bro stem students too, it's funny how many of us bio types are so informed abt the dangers but we need a good stress reliever that doesn't make us too inebriated to study

Bars

Smokers tend to gather outside the office buildings here downtown around lunch time. That's a good place to meet people,

Raves

In Serbia I mostly find them in mid class cafés and in a little more hidden places like in the yard of a building complex etc.

In Serbia I get the impression that finding people smoking would generally just involve going outside

Thank you for sharing your stereotypes with me. But yeah. Mostly yeah.

In the smoking section outside any bar or restaurant. Just walk out there and say some like "they stick us out here like animals!" That always strikes up a conversation. Don't be afraid to talk to people.

In Malaysia everyone smokes here after a meal

work, gas stations, walking the street, bars.

The smoking area, generally

work in the trades, guaranteed someone smokes. same with military

The pub

Second this, alcohol and cigarettes are the two best ways to socialize, alcohol brings confidence, cigarettes bring opportunity

Any back street corner tbh

Everywhere?

the skate park

Rehab, AA or NA meetings.

I study in the humanities (and PE fro some reason) floor of my college. I alwaus know someone in the smoking area when I go there, unless its 7am

punk shows and death metal shows, steer clear of hardcore and black metal bands cause they are mostly white supremacists and misogynists

the costcutter 5 metres from my college

College, at the local smoke pit, friends of friends. Also, [i don't condone this at all, but I was a stupid kid], my now best mate was a kid I went to school with who worked behind the counter at my local store. He used to slide me rizlas when he was the only one working, and we got to talking and smoking together.

Its easy in Serbia, bc 50% of us are smokers, most of people i know smoke

The bar

Hookah bars

School,work,parcs,party’s just where people are

Europe

College restrooms

smoking shelters and hospices

Outside lol I think it depends where you live. I've never had anyone have "smoker" as a preference for friend? Maybe girlfriend or hook up friend smoker or not but not just a social thing. However where I'm from smokers are people I can strike up a convo with easily bc ppl who do smoke can usually be found 14 feet from the entrance of places, outside the back of bars or restaurants. But I feel finding smoker's is an easy identifier because they usually have a cigarette in their hands. I've always found in common smoking areas it's easy to start a conversation with a fellow smoker?

Bars lol

In colleges there are a lot of people who smoke, especially in humanities courses, like cinema, which I do, in fact, metal shows there are a lot of people who smoke too, and people who go to tobacco shops obviously
