I used to have certain places where I would go to smoke cigarettes, particularly on breaks during work. I could/would never smoke inside, so I always went outside (primarily to avoid smelling like smoke, but I realize now that wasn't the case) to specific places depending on where I was. Sometimes I would commiserate with other smokers, but I preferred some alone time to contemplate and unwind.
Now that I vape, I do it pretty much everywhere. I keep my gear and recharging station in my basement, it has the largest TV in the house, and no one goes down there, so I like to go down and sit on the couch and vape while watching TV or surfing the forums.
