How does google decide where this "SAP" ad goes, pray tell? I am a smoker. My mom is a smoker. My sister is a smoker. Most of the people I know are smokers.
The only reason a smoker might tend to find herself "socially alienated" these days is on account of all the nonsensical legislation prohibiting smoking from virtually every known location.
When at a restaurant, for instance, smokers must now rush outside to hide whilst smoking. At which point, the "socially alienated person" is prone to bumping into other smokers conducting similar activities.
So while it may be argued that smokers' habits could potentially alienate them from the non-smokers, it opens up a whole new universe of pals-- other smokers. Many times I have met very nice people whose acquaintance I would never have made had I not been sneaking a smoke. Many entertaining, informative, and inspirational conversations have I had with my comrade smokers.
Smoking is not good for one's health. This is true. But many of us smoke. And when we smoke, as now must, in a location far AWAY from the non-smokers, rather than feeling a sense of social alienation, it has become a sure fire way to meet new people.
