--->Smoker's Psycology<---
So here let me talk about sutta breaks that people take.. Most of the smokers take a sutta break that is generally accompanies with tea / coffee. Not that it's the best combination or something, but you can be sure that this person is free to talk at this point of time. If you catch him at this point of time, he's generally free to speak his heart out.. As a thumb rule, if someone is taking a sutta break all alone; it's likely that he's in a thinking mode.. something other than day-to-day office troubles. It can be a long term confusion about his personal life or something. This is the worst time to approach this person as he'll get irritated to any kind of office issues or harmless pun. The best thing to do @ this point of time is to pass by and gently say Good Morning / Good Evening.
This is however preety unlikely.. Mostly what happens is that people go to sutta breaks with some friends. This is the most exiting moment. This is the time when a person is ready to talk about anything about office.. Internal politics, grudges, appraisals, gossips... Anything!!! Detailed analysis of sutta language (as I prefer calling it) shoudl be done..For example, a person who just finished over something stressful will blow out the smoke at an inclination. Generally, a slight inclination denotes that he's letting his stress out.. A higher inclination means that he's happy....!! There is no literature that talks about the degree of inclination and mood.. It's mostly an art that needs to be perfected. This is the best time to greese the person.. A few words of appreciation and the person will be top of the world. Too long appreciations must be avioded.. You however know for sure how many time a person gets into this mood!!
A lot also depends on how a person holds a cigrettee.. A person holding a cigrettee btw. first finger and thumb is generally hyperactive and waiting for something to let his energy out.. On the other hand, a person holding cigrettee btw. first finger and middle finger is more resolved.. Again, there is a catch.. Cigrettee very close to the joint of the fingers means that the person is unruly, disorganised and and un-sophesticated compared to a person who holds the cigrettee with the top end of the fingers. Hence, you'll find females holding cigrettee with their tips while males hold it close to the joint..
A similar indication (although not so accurate) takes into consideration carrying a matchbox / lighter.. Mostly people who carry a lighter or a matchbox are good planners... Yes.. It's got nothing to do with your frequency of smoking. Interesing right!!! Now the big question.. What about a person who carries a Zippo / an expensive lighter.. Well, NOTHING.. It's just a showoff :) Infact you can always grill a person for buying a zippo, he'll give n number of justifications that can be counter-aruged upon... You really wanna take a revenge wih a person like this.. Go to him in group of 4-5 and grill him.. He'll not be able to come out of it for quite sometime.. (Exception: Don't try to grill a Zippo owner if he says that he's having a zippo as it's cool. In this case, he can take off your pants !!)
Now here are some facts incase you are a smoker..Foul smell from your body (and mouth) will worsen with chloromint.. Never do it. If you really want it to go away, here is what you should do..Firstly, never blow the smoke in the opposite direction of the wind.. Most of the smoke smell comes from your clothes.Secondly, drink and lot of water after smoke followed by something sour.. like lime juice or anything else.. Thirdly, brush daily. Also take regular shower. Sweat smells worse if you are a smoker..
But for all practical purposes, no matter what, people will sill say "Why the hell do you need to smoke..?"So here goes some of my favourate answers1. I hate cigrettees so I burn them off in front of my eyes. (on a lighter note)2. I know i shouldn't smoke.. Actually, this is the most disgusting thing I've ever done in my life.. took up smoking.. I regret that I smoke.. Trying to quit (on a serious note)Now here is the important thing... Cigrettees are the best way to get close to a smoker.. It becomes really important if this someone is your boss / someone influential..
