social smoking
Cigarettes at parties
Social smoking is smoking cigarettes only in social situations—at parties, bars, or when others are smoking—rather than as a daily habit.
Social smokers typically don't buy their own cigarettes or smoke alone: I'm not really a smoker, I just have one when I'm out with friends.
The term often minimizes or distances oneself from the identity of "smoker."
