When I was a smoker, the non-smokers I socialised with complained often about being left behind while everyone went outside to smoke. When I gave up smoking, I knew exactly what they meant. There is a bond and a camararderie about smoking that I hadn't realised until I gave up. My social life noticeably receded. It's not childish to feel like you do, but it isn't an easy one to deal with.

move out before you become victim # lost count in the non small cell lung cancer victims.

you think i'm joking?


try it.

It's understandable. Both that you feel left out and that they are spending time together. They have something in common. If they go outside to smoke how about joining them outside. Don't let your feelings prevent you from joining in the conversation.

Thats kind of how it goes. I'd suggest when they go out to smoke, go with them to be sociable, and make it more a 3-way bond of friendship

That;s normal though
