People who only smoke when they're drunk, are they consider smokers?!


Question: If not, what is it call? I've ask myself that question ever since I started doing it. I only smoke when I start drinking, is that normal? Or is it just plain dumb? Seriously, open for any suggestions.

It's called social smoking. That's what I do too. I only smoke when I drink, which is maybe once or twice a month. But then I can smoke a pack. A beer and a smoke go great together.

Smoking is a practice where a substance, most commonly tobacco, is burned and the smoke tasted or inhaled. (wikipedia)

so you might not be a chain smoker but you still smoke occasionaly.

Social smoking, yes. A lot of people do it.

yes, lol, they still smoke

It is plain dumb to smoke at all - everyone knows what it does to you...
I've heard the term "social smoker" or "occassional smoker" but the reality is - it will do you and others around serious damage no matter how much or where.
Do yourself a favour and quit...good luck!

I think it's quite normal, I know a few people that do it. I guess I would call that a Casual Smoker or Social Smoker?

Not quite sure, really.

social smoking. Still considered smoking though if anyone asks "do you smoke"?

yap....it can be plain dumb.....before i suggest anything....for me it's just concealing your good image....and it's fine at least you got control.....well we know smoking is bad for your health....well here my suggestion....since your living without smoking, why stop that....and get back to your life...your giving much risk in your self....think about cancer,tuberculosis,and stroke.....well think about it......STOP!!!!!.....it!!!!!

gee, if I only had sex when I was drunk would I still be considered a virgin?...seriously I don't really know, but I used to do that too. (the smoke thing...that is)

I like that...if I only had sex when I was drunk would I still be a virgin! GREAT analogy. Yeah, and your lungs don't know the difference. I used to smoke only when I drank but I drank every night. You also risk becoming truly addicted, which, thank God, I never did. Cigarettes are SO bad for you, you can tell just by how they make you feel, it's amazing they're legal and they don't even give you a buzz. I have smoked a million bong hits in my life and that NEVER made my lungs feel like smoking just 3-5 cigarettes in a night made me feel. TRULY. Same thing with alcohol...we all know how deathly that can make you feel the next day, as well. The 2 legal drugs are the ones that are the worst for you. But I digress...

again, your lungs don't know whether you're smoking in a bar with your buddies or alone watching TV on your couch.

Me too. thats the only time I really enjoy doing it. Sometimes I feel as though it makes it so I drink less.

yeah, thats how i started. its a slippery slope and only got worse from there. 2 weeks cig free though.

Yep it's social smoking and it's actually pretty common smoking and drinking tend to be a combo most the time :)
