12 Problems You'll Only Understand If You're A Smoker

1. When You're Having A Cigarette In Public And A Stranger Comes Over And Begs One Off You

Skins Gif If you're a generous person and smoking a straight and you've got a few left, it's often a matter of 'Here you go, have this one on me'. But if you're smoking your last cigarette, obviously you're going to say: 'Sorry, this is my last one'. Which looks like a bare-faced lie - because that's the excuse everyone gives, right? Like when you go to a cash point and turn around to find a homeless person asking you for some money, and your automatic go-to excuse is: 'Sorry, I don't have any on me'. LIAR. Even worse is when you're a roll-up smoker and someone asks you for one. Ok, you can give this stranger a cigarette, no problem. But do you roll it for them? Do you just stand there and awkwardly wait while they fumble around with your tobacco, papers and filters? Do you make conversation? "Ahh, isn't it so nice to be smoking on this fine sunny day?" There is no answer to this predicament. It might actually be wiser to just run away and avoid the awkwardness. Which other smoker problems do you experience?

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
