I decided that I don't need to smoke by myself, that's not why I started smoking to begin with. I want to keep smoking to only a social gig, if i keep smoking by myself I'm going to end up addicted, and I heard that it makes BP symptoms worse. I smoked the last cigarette from my pack and I'm going to try to hold off on buying more, or at least try to stick to the social plan.

I don't want to cut off smoking altogether, it just seems unnecessary to do it alone and I don't want to be labeled as a smoker.

Uhm, I'm pretty sure that smoking warrants being labelled a smoker. How often you do it and with whom doesn't discount the fact that you light-up and inhale... I don't understand why you don't just give it up altogether.

What is the point behind social smoking for you?

That's a confusing post. I don't understand why you feel the need to smoke socially. It also seems that smoking in social settings is exactly what would get you labeled as a smoker.

Even if you only smoke socially, the label of "smoker" still applies to you.

...yeah, hey thats kinda what I was thinkin', not tryin' to be funny here but what would you say if someone asked you for a smoke or a light and you were by yourself?..."sorry I don't smoke"....and then when out with friends?...."here no worries"

your idea is cool if it works but if you are buying smokes and lighting them up wherever you are then like Trippin says there...you're a smoker!
but being a non-smoking smoker is a bit tricky

I imagine you won't be quickly labeled as a smoker as long as you don't smell like one and are never seen doing it.
