social smokers

Party-only cigarette users

Social smokers are people who smoke only in social situations—at parties, bars, or when drinking with friends—rather than maintaining a daily habit.

The term often implies someone who doesn't consider themselves a "real" smoker: I'm not a smoker, I just have a few cigarettes when I'm out.

Social smoking may be a transitional phase toward regular smoking or quitting entirely.
