Some people can be social smokers, but most can't. Even now when I have my one or two smokes per year, there are times when I feel like I want another a few hours later.

I do find it amazing how many of these social smokers who were in their 20's go on to become full time smokers in their 30's. All my co-workers were those social smoker types and as they got older they started smoking more and more and next thing I knew all my co-workers were all full time smokers. Even my boss and his wife who are ex smokers from their teens and quit for like 7 years, sort of started smoking a bit again and now they are what I'd consider to be casual part time smokers who will have a pack a week type of thing. No longer do they need to be having a drink to want to have a cigarette, and if they are drinking, they're smoking as well.
