When you really think about it, there are only 3 types of people in this world: smokers, non- smokers and those who choose to smoke "only when I'm drinking." The latter is frowned upon by everyone else. Smokers - how many times have you been approached in the smoking area and asked for a spare cigarette? Countless!
There's always the same excuses: "Sorry man, it's my last one," "I don't smoke" (with lit cigarette hanging out of mouth) or "would you like a spare lung as well?"
However there are other ways to bum a cigarette. It tastes so much better if you feel like you've earned it with one of these clever little schemes. They'll work 99% of the time!
Obvious flirting.
It might be obvious what you want but it doesn't matter. Get in, work your magic and get out. Or don't... Depends what the smoker looks like really!
The exchange.

Use your bartering skills. Offer to buy them a drink. Or think about what you can offer that money can't buy (legally). We don't have to spell it out for you ... Slut!
Corner them.
Wait for their friends to go to the bathroom or hit the bar and trap them alone in the smoking area, demanding a cigarette to cure your nicotine cravings!
Ask nicely!

You'll be amazed what genuine good manners can do for you. Think about what your mammy thought you when you were growing up. Be nice!
Hold them up and threaten to hurt them if they don't give you a cigarette.
The scumbag approach - believe it or not, this happens. Ahh, what a lovely evening for a robbery.
Offer to buy one for 50c or less.
Play the impoverished youngster. They'll immediately pity your strange request. If you are willing to dust off the shame and dirty looks, they'll most likely throw a cigarette at your feet for you to pick up off the ground and place in your mouth.
Use your breasts (girls, not lads).
Guys will do ANYTHING when presented with a lovely pair of breasts. They'll stare mesmerised at your chest, mouth open and drool dripping from the bottom of their lips. Open those top buttons girls! You may have to click your fingers at them to regain their attention but this will definitely work!
