the act of bumming a smoke is not really that out of place. it’s an act of kindness, when the moocher is sincere in their bumming… meaning they do not bum smokes just to save cash.. but rather bum a smoke since they ran out or usually don’t smoke… i think smokers are just all around more approachable people… they are used to talking to one another… they look after each other… they share a common interest (or addiction)… they understand what it’s like when you can’t find your lighter… i am not saying non-smokers are not nice people, i think anyone that is willing to share something of theirs is a nice person…. like if you go to someone’s house and they offer you a beer… they are nice! but if they offer you water when they have beer… they are not that nice… i think it’s important to share! everyone should share! if everyone shared, then everyone would be able to have something when they need it… it’s a matter of karma! but sharing simply because you want someone to share something with you.. is wrong… (unless it’s a trade of some sort)…. so next time someone is at your house… offer them a beer, a sandwich, or even that t-bone steak you’ve been saving… it will make you feel good and it will allow you to have something in common: being nice.
