Ex-smoker's story sparks talk about friendships and habits
Original: A real life scenario that got me thinking: Asker: "Don't you smoke? Take a stick." Ex-smoker: "No, I've stopped smoking.
A man who quit smoking says his friends freely offered him cigarettes and drinks for years, but disappeared when he asked them for financial help. The exchange has struck a chord, with people debating whether some friendships are built only around shared habits like smoking and drinking rather than genuine support.
Why now: The story resonates because many people recognise how social habits can mask one-sided friendships.
