As we’ve remarked before, the one nice thing about smoking bans, is that it forces smokers to congregate in small, defined areas – where it’s easier to to talk to smoking women – and where the topic naturally turns to smoking more often than not.
And today, as we were corralled in a smoking area, we had an all-too-brief conversation with an attractive 25-ish secretary, who was unfortunately more than halfway through her Virginia Slims 100 just as we arrived. After the usual “hi” and “it sucks that we’re stuck out here to smoke” conversation, we did manage to elicit that she had been smoking for more than ten years, and that she didn’t want to quit anyway but never would because of all of the harassment smokers receive. Best of all, though, was when we mentioned that she certainly looked like a dedicated smoker because only serious smokers exhale regularly through their nostrils (which she did on almost every drag), her answer was: “Oh, I love to blow the smoke through my nose. It tastes so good that way!” Sadly, she finished her cigarette after that and headed back to work.
We don’t have much business in the building where the encounter took place – we’ll have to find a way to change that
