Can I have a cigarette?
    #19191577 - 11/26/13 11:43 AM (10 years, 2 months ago)

How do you generally respond to strangers who ask you for a smoke? I think it's psychologically interesting because it might determine what kind of person you are.

I've noticed three types of "No's". The first one is very polite. The guy who's asked for a smoke responds by saying he's sorry and that's he's either all out or on his last few smokes. In any case, he is showing a degree of sympathy with the deprived smoker which I think is big on his part.

The second is a less polite "No" but it's not a disrespectful one. He doesn't apologize for not having an extra smoke but he doesn't act coldly towards the guy who craves a cig.

The third is the worst and it makes me sick when I see it. It's kind of rare. It's usually a cynical and cold "NOPE, you can't have a cigarette." The smoker makes it aware that he does have smokes but isn't willing to give any out. I think this is kind of selfish in a sense. It's like explicitly telling a homeless guy "hey I have change but I won't give you any."

If someone asks me for a cigarette and I don't feel like giving out a smoke (say I want to keep them all for when I get high/drunk and so forth), I usually stick to the first one. I know how bad cigarette deprivation can be and I find no need to piss the guy off. But generally, like 95% of the time, I give out my smokes, even to strangers.

Do you think asking for cigarettes is taboo? Do you find it annoying to deal with?

I usually say yeah and give them one, or if I'm running low I'll give them half of the one I'm smoking.

Sometimes I say no just because I'm broke and don't know how long my cigs will have to last me.

Sometimes I say no just for the hell of it if the person comes at me the wrong way.

me too,

with cigs ive noticed a difference between countries. In lower-income countries, where cigs arnt that expensive, its really common place and totally acceptable to ask for a smoke. Here in the Uk tho ive noticed that people probably think you are a bit cheeky asking for one.

It really depends on who you are asking , and in what situation. On a night out clubbing/pubbing people are generally pretty chilled with it (probably because they are a bit drunk), while on the street in the middle of the day, people arnt so chilled

It depends on the manner in which they ask and how many I have left in the pack. Most of the time I'll happily give one to a fellow smoker in need.

One time I was at the mall outside smoking and had some junkie ass obese black chick walk up to me with this prisoner gaze on her face. All the while she was on her phone and her future degenerate scumbag kid making a mess of everything. She approaches me and makes a fingers to the mouth motion without even saying anything to me directly. She's just chatting it up on her fucking phone and doesn't even have the common courtesy to actually ask for one. I say no I'm sorry.

Take a WILD guess as to what she says next....

"Ya Shanaynay this racist cracka mother fucka won't even gimme a smoke. Fuckin honky motha fucka."

Some fucking people. Holy shit. Black people are some of the most racist people on the planet.

I usually will bum cigs as long as it's not someone who I just saw smoking a cig. Cause I know what it's like to run out lol.

It's the worst when you bum one out to someone who doesn't even know how to smoke tho. And they just puff on it. That shit pisses me off.

Years ago when they were cheaper, I often would give out a smoke here and there when asked.

Now a days I say "Sorry, don't have any. I quit" because I have, in fact, quit... :yesnod: . . . :peace:

I have noticed this, although I wouldn't quite say it's most black people, bit a large percentage nonetheless.

I have met a few cool black people though... one time I was this old-school black dudes house, and some other black dude started making racist remarks about white people, the dude kicked him out.

I've always given em out, and people have always given me when I've asked. But hey, this is Canada hahaha..

This one time though, two bouncers were smoking outside a club and I went up to them and asked them for a cigarette and they actually explicitly said "No, you cannot have a cigarette," and I kinda just looked at them funny and walked away. Someone else gave me a cig around the corner anyway lol.

When I used to smoke, if someone would ask me I would decide by whether or not I wanted a cig.

If a cig seemed nice at that time, I'd say "sure you can have mine when I'm finished" and I'd smoke half or a little more then give it to them. I'd always kind of give them the eye implying that they should get a job and quit being a mooch, while also understanding because I've been there.


But if it was a buddy, I'd just usually just smoke a cig with them.


When I grew up smoking cigs, my friends and I always adopted sharing cigs which I liked because I don't want to smoke a full cigarette. That just kind of became routine and I've noticed some people really don't want to share a cig. Just don't nig lip it and we will be fine.

I agree, but most people hit a time/age when they decide to bogart their cigarettes all together. I only smoked maybe 6 years total but I bet I bummed out around $300 in cigs. I probably spent a good $2500-3000 in 6 years on them. That's a serious chunk of change. Fuck cigarettes.

One time I parked at KFC at walked up to the door, only to realize that they had just closed, so I sat down on the curb for a minute to figure out what I wanted to do next.
A girl comes from out of the KFC and asks me if I have a cigarette she can have.
I respond with, "no, those are bad for you."
She walks away.

If I have enough smokes I will usually give the person one... Same if I get asked for change, I figure I appreciate it when someone helps me out and it makes me feel good to help someone else out... Also my ex and a few other girls have told me they found it very attractive that I was willing to help out a complete stranger and that it came so naturally..

I tend to give people smokes, sometimes two if I have a good feeling.

I've started saying no more often though, where i live now, I get hit up 2-3 times to the store and back.

That's fucked, but it reminds me of a friend of mine. He wasn't a dick like that, but a lot of times if you asked him for a smoke if we where all hanging out drinking, he would pull it out of the pack launch over your shoulder.

I had pretty much stopped giving cigarettes out to people before i switched to the e-cigs. If I was in a good mood I may, but if I was walking out of a store and was asked I would almost always say no, fuck those new pack vultures.

My usual responses:
"No I don't, sorry."
"Eh, it's my last one."
"nope"

My one friend would just always say "if you can't afford to smoke, then don't." or something to that effect. He rarely ever gave out cigarettes...

He OD'd on coke and died though...

when I buy a pack (< once a month) and am in a situation where someone asks to bum one I always oblige, even if it's my lucky.  I've bummed enough myself.

Yes, 9 out of 10 times I'll give the cigarette to the random stranger asking for one. The only times I say no is if I only have a few left or I don't like the vibe or the way he approached me.

I've had the most success asking for a smoke like this, have $.50-1.00 in my hand (smokes are $11.00 a pack here), no one ever takes it tho.. I really think it's stupid you can't buy singles here, if I'm trying to quit and have a craving I want 1 smoke, not 25! There's been a few times a craving has got me to pickup the bad habit again...

That's for "premium" smokes, you can get a 20 pack of value brand for $7... I can't say I'm completely outraged with the extra tax given our socialist healthcare, at least smokers in theory cover the costly medical procedures they statistacly require more of then non-smokers :grin:

As a professional mooch I believe in "cigarette karma". I give them out when asked and I have no problem asking when I need one. Usually if bums ask me for change I give them cigarettes if I have a pack on me.

However, the last time I was in my hometown (in Central New York) I realized that people were FAR less willing to give out cigarettes when I saw people ask. I'm used to bums being able to just ask someone for a cig and people will give them one without thinking twice. I didn't realize it, but my brother said that it's pretty typical for people to turn away others asking for cigarettes just because the things are so fucking expensive there now. Not that people won't still bum them, but I have way less luck in places where they are so expensive. I also receive way more gratitude when I give them out in those same places. One time in Manhattan some dude bought me a fucking drink because I bummed him a cigarette :lol:

The third is the worst and it makes me sick when I see it. It's kind of rare. It's usually a cynical and cold "NOPE, you can't have a cigarette." The smoker makes it aware that he does have smokes but isn't willing to give any out. I think this is kind of selfish in a sense. It's like explicitly telling a homeless guy "hey I have change but I won't give you any."




What!? It's as if you think people owe other people things.

He didn't convey that the person in his example was being a dick. He also seems to be saying that if a person has change they should simply always give some of it to a homeless person, which reinforces the fact that OP thinks that you owe cigarettes/change to people.

I don't even smoke normal cigs,so when people ask me for a cigarette,I open my home made packet of cigs filled with powder made from datura seeds and hand them one.That shuts down their brain for few hours so they won't annoy me again.

I'm just saying. At least this way people have a way to 'pay' for a singular cigarette that they otherwise wouldn't be able to obtain unless they forked over 6 dollars for a full pack. I still bum away cigarettes, but if somebody offers me a dollar for a cigarette of course I take them up on that offer.

I don't smoke anymore, but when I did it was unfiltered soft packs. After the first cig most people don't ask again. They just can't handle unfiltered.

in the city though when a bum askes I don't think twice. They don't even smoke them. They eat them. And in exchange for the meal they point me to the block with the best drugs I happen to be looking for.

bums always know the best corners.

also I didn't read op so I might be way offtopic.

Paying for something that costs money is a bad trend? That's ridiculous.

I often offer money to someone if I'm trying to bum a smoke from them, it makes me feel like not such a bum.

Cigarettes aren't $1 a pack anymore...

i guess you got to try and judge if they really need the smoke or not

in like grade 9, i walked about 10 km down the main street with all the stores, asking every smoker i saw for a smoke, and collected them all, i got like 2 packs worth's, then the next few days at school sold them all for like 50C -1$ a piece, so watch out for scamers i guess

LOL, generosity to complete strangers.... Here's some generosity, how about the person who can't get a job to buy his own cigs has some generosity and stops trying to mooch off the rest of world, gets a job and buys his own cigs.

A gas station nearby used to sell single cigs for a dollar until they got in trouble for it. It was a great, if some asshole would ask me for a cig I'd tell them to fuck off to the gas station and buy one for a dollar.


If you can't afford to smoke cigarettes, you got no business smoking them.

I've been smoking since I was 14, and I have always given out cig's to anyone that ask's. Unless I don't' have it but even then I'll share my last one. I've had the favour returned many times over so I guess it's smoker's karma :tongue:

This makes no sense. It's still strangers being generous to strangers, just now it's the person asking for the cigarette instead of the one giving it.

People who will refuse others cigarettes or change on principle alone have some fucked up principles IMO, but I consider generousity an admirable human quality.  It seems that some people dislike others by default.

Tobacco has always been a thing to share with friends and strangers alike.  It is kinda sickening to me how it has been turned into such a commodity that some people can't see this, but I guess that just has to do with the way I want to view the world.

Its a good trend, people don't feel comfortable leeching off of others and offer something in return. And people still give cigs away, its just some people don't like just taking things.
