Smoking & Drinking

[kqa]

I don't do either, but they are probably habits that started out as a way to be cool.  Also, people don't drink every time they smoke because it can be against the law in some places.  They might be able to go outside work to smoke but can't drink there.

They go hand in hand I guess.
I have a few friends who only smoke at functions they drink at.

I've never even tried to smoke, as both my parents did, and the smell
was horrid and turned me off of it growing up.

Drinking I do rarely, since I work so much, and it makes me tired.
So only on holidays or special gatherings does that happen.

Maybe because they don't want to get drunk or buzzed.
Maybe the time when they are smoking and not drinking is just when they crave the nicotine or in a situation where it wouldn't be relevant to drink.
