We've all experienced those awkward moments. When you are alone at the bar. When you are alone at the airport long distance bus stop. When you are waiting for your order at a restaurant. In the past, to avoid looking weird at these moments you would light up a cigarette. Now you aren't some man sitting by himself doing nothing. You are smoking.
Today smoking in public places has largely been outlawed. Smoking has been replaced by looking at your cell phone. Today while you are waiting for the bartender to fill up the beer case you can't smoke but you can look busy by playing with your cell phone. Cell phones give an idle person something to do.
