Am I being childish?

My flatmate and I used to do quite a few things together. Now we have a new flatmate, they are both smokers and they spend a lot of time together. To be honest they are bonding over a really bad habit and I’ve noticed my flatmate smokes a lot more since our new flatmate has come. Hmm.
I just feel a little left out. I’ve noticed that my flatmate doesn’t stay in the room with me like before, nor does she initate much convo. I’ve always been nice to her but her behaviour had changed.

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.
