(UK, informal) London.

I'm heading down to the Smoke later this week.
Heard in the wild
  • “Smoke in eyes hey, i recently started smoking cigarettes instead of vape. Now i have the problem that smoke keeps getting into my eye, which hurts really bad and makes my eye water. Am I just too dumb to smoke or is this something everyone has to deal with? Is there a way to prevent this? Or do you just get used to it?”

  • “Neighbours having fires every night, what can I do? Hi, my next door neighbours have been having fires in their fire pit every night. My house is a council house but they own theirs. It's been almost every night this week and the smell of the smoke is getting into all the rooms in my house. I have a bird and it's not good for him at all. Is there anything I can do??”

  • “Curious: How does GenZ save their seat at a bar if they go to the bathroom, smoke, take a call, etc? Millennial here. I always use a napkin over the drink or tilted in bar chair leaning in on the bar. This is assuming you went solo and not out with friends.”

  • “Have you ever encountered someone keeping matches near the toilet? I thought “Lit a match” was a cheap joke, but I did encounter this a guy’s house once. He didn’t smoke.”
