ive smoked alone at least once a day since i began smoking over 30 yrs ago ..it's a real good thing for every one to take at least a lil bit of the day for them selves ..wheather you are smoking or just reading or walking or what ever ..even after all the yrs ive smoked i still look forward to having a smoke in the AM by my self ..it gives me a chance to think and plan out what has to be done that day ..
